When I first began to experience neck & shoulder pain in 2015 and the inability to digest food, I switched my 2016 insurance plan to a barely affordable PPO, determined to find out what was ailing me. Here's a diagnostic thread for #InvisibleIllnesses. - @jenna_payne
Like most people who thought they were healthy (more on that tomorrow?), we've been told that if you feel sick you go to the doctor and they can fix you unless it's something like cancer or Alzheimer's. I was in for a rude awakening....
CW: diet, eating disorder?
This scene from my medical revenge HYSTERIA is more or less lifted from real life. This was my first appointment after starving myself at 1200 calories/day and gaining 40 pounds in 2/3 years. The problem was NOT my diet.

Greetings! I'll be your disabled hostess for this week. I am grappling with #AnkylosingSpondylitis, #Hashimotos, #EhlersDanlos, and some yet to be discovered issues. I write, direct, and produce films and am figuring out how to do that while disabled. - @jenna_payne 
The above pictures are from my wedding & after the last biggish live action short film I directed.
In 2015 & 2016, I felt an increasing amount of pain & began to struggle to digest food. In late 2016, it began to rain inside our apartment. Six months later my spine caught fire.

I worked my last film production job - a career I both loved b/c there's nothing like it & hated b/c the hours & stress were brutal - in the spring of 2017. Between that & the eventual Aspergillus that was discovered in my apt (& a blood test), I have been disabled ever since.

Managing #autoimmune conditions is tough. Even though I had many healthy habits, I still had to change the way I was living to enjoy improvements. That said:
What do you want to improve to experience better health right now?

This is just so silly. In the 19th century, there was a panic in the medical profession (and among social commentators) about women becoming ill with neurological and "nervous" conditions because they were overworking their brains/nerves, which were naturally weaker than men's.
This “fact” was used to bolster the argument in favor of stopping women's formal education after age 16 and most certainly not letting them enroll in university.
