House Calls - Case #16 Lauren

iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

In this next installment of Symptomatic: House Calls, we check in on Lauren from Case #16.

Lauren began noticing severe pain that could not be explained away by her professional dancing career. The movements she once took for granted were becoming nearly impossible.

 

Spoiler Alert: If you haven’t listened to this episode yet, you might want to do so first HERE.

 

Feeling confused & betrayed by her body, Lauren pushed through the pain for 15 years before eventually receiving the correct diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis. Along the way, she had to give up her dancing dreams, reshaping her lifestyle into one that prioritized her young family and recognized her new limitations. 

Join host Lauren Bright Pacheco as she catches up with Lauren to see how she is continuing to manage with her condition and making the most of the energy she has.
