I'm so grateful for this post, Edith! Thank you for sharing your experience--it helps me to feel less alone about my experience with navigating finding a diagnosis and dealing with chronic illness symptoms that turned my world upside down during my PhD. Looking forward to reading part 2!
I love the synergy between your post, Kate, and Edith's! Part II is equally so! Thank you both for sharing your experiences with PNP readers. I know that many people feel validated and encouraged from each of your vulnerability and wisdom.
Thanks so much for your kind words, Kate and Jenn! Kate, your post motivated me to share my own experiences, and Jenn, thanks so much for offering us a platform.
Thank you so much for sharing this, Edith! It makes me feel less alone in my studies, life and health journey. I was diagnosed with a rare condition a few years ago while going through perimenopause, and from time to time, I experience continuous brain fog for a few months, then get better when going back and forth. I took a lot of professional development on how to train my brain and establish a routine of doing something every single day to accomplish big tasks. Yet even those sometimes feel a lot. So, I resonate with everything you said to a great extent.
