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.
Spoonie Stories: Michelle Griffith
My story started in a similar manner to countless recollections I’ve read online: a teenage girl was seemingly healthy one day and sick the next.
I was an athlete my whole life, with only a few minor symptoms in childhood that were easily waved off at the time.
Then when I was 18, everything changed.
