Welcome to The Dual Diagnosis Diaries

A place where chronic illness, resilience, advocacy, and real life intersect.

The Dual Diagnosis Diaries is a personal blog and advocacy platform dedicated to sharing the realities of living with Crohn’s Disease, Myasthenia Gravis, and polyautoimmunity.

Here, you’ll find honest stories, educational insights, personal reflections, and conversations about the challenges and triumphs of navigating life with chronic illness. From healthcare experiences and treatment journeys to family, friendships, career, and mental wellness, every story shared is rooted in authenticity and hope.

Whether you’re living with a chronic illness, caring for someone who is, working in healthcare, or simply seeking to better understand the invisible battles many people face each day, you’re welcome here.

My mission is simple:

💜 To educate.

💜 To advocate.

💜 To remind others that they are not alone.

Because behind every diagnosis is a person.

Behind every symptom is a story.

And every story deserves to be heard.

Thank you for being here.

I hope you’ll stay awhile.

There are many more stories still to come.
