Mikaela Aschoff, From Debilitating Symptoms to Thriving College Student
I was diagnosed with Dysautonomia back in 2010 after collapsing on the dance floor at my freshman homecoming dance. I was pulled from public school and became home bound and wheelchair dependent. I suffered from constant syncope episodes, severe fatigue, fibromyalgia, seizures, migraines, brain fog, and bouts of gastroparesis. I missed out on having a typical high school experience and was forced to grow up quickly due to my illness. I tried numerous treatments to reduce the severity of my symptoms with no luck.
I was suffering from rheumatoid arthritis and had debilitating symptoms such as loss of joint function and severe pain. I was prescribed two medications that had many adverse side effects. The prescription’s effectiveness began to decrease between dosages, and I continued experiencing joint pain and fevers. I knew I had to try something different.

I was driving to an afternoon dental appointment in 2011, when all of a sudden, I started feeling strange. My body began to tingle, I felt nauseous and my vision started closing in to a narrow tunnel. I had not eaten that day and associated these strange feelings to hunger. The next thing I knew, I woke up inside of a totaled vehicle, very unsure of what had just happened.
