• No. I can’t provide medical advice, diagnoses, or treatment recommendations. Anything I share is for general informational purposes or my personal experience only and should not replace care from a qualified healthcare professional.

  • I don’t offer medical consultations or patient coaching.

    However, I do engage in education-focused collaborations, research discussions, and science communication projects.

    My goal is to help bridge gaps between research, clinical care, and lived experience, but I am not the right kind of doctor to help with individual clinicial guidance!

  • First, you’re not alone—and it’s okay to feel overwhelmed and not know where to start.

    A good place to start is with patient-centered organizations that offer educational resources, clinician directories, and community support:

    It may be helpful to:

    • Find clinicians familiar with complex, multisystem conditions

    • Go to appointments prepared with symptom timelines and prior testing

    • Connect with other patients through in person support groups or social media to find support and resources locally
