“Basically, I was pronounced dead on December 8. I did not know that I had gnarly Covid and my body was shutting down. I went into 4 seizures, each one lasting 10 to 20 minutes.” cnn.com/2023/01/06/ent…

Rebecca Randel, MPH, BCPA 14, I had a double lung collapse from them. Died and came back and realized I am not like the others.

Rebecca Randel, MPH, BCPA My entire life but it really hit me in spurts: 8, 12, 15, 21.

Rebecca Randel, MPH, BCPA My 1st hint was in high school when I had my 1st #GERD attack. I couldn't explain it properly & the hospital just gave me meds to make me sleep. Later in my 20's when I demanded a laparoscopy, 2 rare conditions were found.

Rebecca Randel, MPH, BCPA At 2 years of age when it came to light that I already HAD multiple medical conditions and that my battle was just starting

Rebecca Randel, MPH, BCPA In high school, when I started taking myself to appointments/ picking up my own meds. All the different waiting rooms & conversations. Eye opening

Rebecca Randel, MPH, BCPA I was 7, staring at my pediatrician, who was stuttering in an effort to come up with another lie instead of admitting that he yet again didn't have a clue.

Rebecca Randel, MPH, BCPA And I now realize that I was always this "brand" of tired, unable to figure out how other people get so much done when I have trouble getting through each day with just the basic activities of living. I've always wondered, "Where do they get the energy?"

Rebecca Randel, MPH, BCPA I must have always had CFS, but when I was in my 20s, CFS was believed to be psychosomatic, so I never considered I might have it. I thought it wasn't "real." Plus, I have severe ADHD. I have trouble just showering twice a week and eating 2X a day. It's not living, just existing.
