Ahhhh!!!! WE’RE BACK! BRAND NEW EPISODES! Sorry for shouting but I’m SO EXCITED!
Welcome back! Today’s episode is with Allie Sharples, and we are chatting about her diagnosis of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP), as well as being born with a cleft lip and palate.
In this episode, Allie takes us all the way back to the beginning and explains the countless surgeries that she went through up until the age of 19. She then talks us through how even though she swore that she would never step foot in a hospital as a patient ever again, she ended up spending months there after suddenly becoming unwell at the end of 2021. Allie explains the diagnosis process of CIDP, how she manages her symptoms, and how life is looking for her now.
Side note: big apologies for the knocking on the microphone throughout the episode! Allie’s story is so captivating, I’m hoping you will hardly notice :)
