I'm new here!
My name is Kia, and I am the creator of The Dual Diagnosis Diaries, a blog dedicated to sharing the realities of living with Crohn's Disease and MuSK-positive Myasthenia Gravis.
After spending more than three years searching for answers and fighting for a diagnosis, I stepped away from advocacy work to focus on my health. Today, with a diagnosis, treatment plan, and renewed sense of purpose, I am returning to advocacy through storytelling, education, and awareness.
I created The Dual Diagnosis Diaries (https://thedualdiagnosisdiaries.wordpress.com) to provide hope, raise awareness, educate others, and help individuals living with chronic illness understand that they are not alone. Through personal essays and educational content, I share my experiences navigating chronic illness, invisible disability, mental health challenges, fatigue, respiratory complications, employment, and the emotional realities of living with multiple autoimmune diseases.
Many of the topics I write about align closely with the content featured by The Mighty, including resilience, diagnosis journeys, treatment challenges, caregiver relationships, grief, identity, and finding strength through adversity.
I would love the opportunity to contribute patient stories, collaborate with your editorial team, or explore ways to share my journey with The Mighty community. My hope is that my experiences can help others feel seen, understood, and supported.
