Meet Tina. She had 20 surgeries in 7 years and hundreds of medical procedures while being misdiagnosed and prevented from accessing doctor-recommended treatments and medicines.

At age 31, Jaime couldn’t walk without intense pain. Her joints swelled, her nerve endings were on fire, and her digestive issues were unbearable.

Danielle uses humor and brutal honesty to share her 27-year long journey with inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis), numerous ineffective medications, and a nearly decade-long battle with insurance companies before she eventually lost her colon and ended up with a permanent ileostomy.

 

Heather had to wait five months before receiving the proper medication for her multiple sclerosis - after 11 years waiting for a diagnosis.

Dr. Delfin Santos is a rheumatologist who spends four to five hours each day working through step therapy for his patients.

Sandy has Behcet's disease and her health suffers tremendously when she has to wait months on end to get the medication she needs.

 

Having worked in the healthcare field, Lee-Anna had seen first-hand when patients were denied their prescribed treatments. But that could not prepare her for what came next.

Dr. LaChance is an experienced dermatologist who often treats patients with multiple complex conditions. As a dermatologist, it is her job to take the clues the skin provides to diagnose, monitor, and treat her patients.

Late in 2016, Sandra began experiencing extreme chronic fatigue that left with her with little energy to do anything but rest. After visiting several physicians, she finally got her diagnosis: an inflammatory disease that affects multiple organs (primarily the lungs and lymph glands).
