In Episode 37, of Our Invisible Life, Kendra and Laura catch up with Becky Caudill (episode 13) to discuss the changes to her health over the past year. Through new symptoms that led to a new diagnosis and finally finding a new treatment that alleviates some pain, Becky continues to advocate for herself and share her story of strength and perseverance while dealing with multiple chronic illnesses.

During her long journey with chronic illness she has been diagnosed with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, hypermobility ehlers-danlos syndrome, Sjogrens, Graves Disease, and orthostatic intolerance. Most recently she has also been diagnosed with Tumid Lupus. She loves diamond art painting, spending time with her family, especially her 5 year old nephew and being a chronic illness advocate!
