Summary

Elizabeth was a teen athlete when she first became bed bound with POTS and several other conditions including narcolepsy, epilepsy and gastroparesis. After 5 years of struggling to be heard or helped, and wondering if the struggle was worth it, she is now back in school, working full time, and becoming the kind of healthcare professional she wishes she'd had. AND she has written a book -- The Toll it Took -- about her experiences! Her advice: "Even if you don't feel like it, keep going."
