SPOONIE STORIES
Spoonie Stories: Lisa Impey
My name is Lisa Impey and I am from a rural town in central Vermont. I am 38 years old, am married, and have an 8-year-old daughter. My story is not unlike the stories of many others who have walked the rare disease path. This is my story of how my rare illnesses were eventually found, diagnosed, and treated. Throughout it all I have had the cute designs from Spoonie Sister Shop to represent my journey.
About 2 years after the birth of my daughter Abbigail, I developed this strange pain in my upper abdomen.
Spoonie Stories: Lara Cooper
My journey begun in 2022 when I was at a friend's house and passed out 4 times. Her sister is a nurse and I had a BP of 60/50 and a HR of 175 so she took me to the ER. There I lost function and feeling of my legs.
Spoonie Stories: Katia Yago
I'm Katia Yago from Barcelona, Spain. I'm 43 years old, and my medical journey started when I was a kid. I spent the first year of my life at a hospital and was sick most of the time as a child. I more or less made it until I turned 34, but at that age, my body couldn't go any further.
