Meet Savannah! 💖
⠀
Savannah’s entire life shifted when she was diagnosed with Devic’s disease, a neurological condition that causes inflammation of the optic nerve and the spinal cord.
⠀
Within a short time, Savanah’s illness forced her to quit her job as a special education teacher. Chronic pain and disease progression often made her feel out of touch with the independent superwoman that she used to be.
⠀
But Savannah kept calling on her inner superwoman to help pull her through. In our latest article, Savannah shares her reflections on finding strength and living vivaciously with a chronic illness.
Savannah says, “I’ve learned that it doesn’t matter how bad the pain we are feeling is, either physical or mental. As long as we can still feel the love of those that love us, we will survive that pain, over and over again.” Thank you so much for sharing, Savannah!
