Show Notes

This episode of The Lavender Fix podcast features CarmenRose Fialloa 25 years old Queer Latina disability advocate - originally from Portland, OR, now residing in NY.

Exactly a year ago, CarmenRose received a formal diagnosis of her invisible disability: Chronic Migraine, that put her on her own island of loneliness where she grappled with making anyone around her understand what she was going through on a daily basis. Having chronic migraine meant facing medical gaslighting. It meant waiting for over 6 months just to check in with her doctor. Living with chronic migraine meant constantly having to explain herself and how she was feeling, because none of her symptoms were visible.

What led to this new normal? What is it like to live a life with such a diagnosis? How is CarmenRose coming to terms with her reality? What is the path forward?
