Do you feel like a Zebra when the world… particularly the medical system… is looking for Horses?

Nicole has a rare disease of Chronic Hiccups. Something she has lived with, now MOSTLY manages, and worked for over 15 years to try to get help to diagnose and control. She was often brushed off as it being “In her head” or just trying to get attention.

With little help from our medical system she found her way to self managing and controlling her chronic hiccups.

A three year food study on herself lead her to discover the 6 foods that trigger her symptoms.

I’m honored to have her share her story with us!

The background? Here her tell her story at the Monti

In LATE honor of Rare Disease Day. (Rare disease Day, happens on the LAST day of February… clover!)

What did we talk about?
– What makes a disease “rare”
– Her fascinating journey and experiences with doctors and hospitalizations while looking for answers.
– The looks, teasing and painful words from strangers and friends… the effects.
– A self created food journey that gave her the keys, eliminating six foods, to calming her system, ditching pain, acne and gained her energy like she never knew she could have.
