About this episode

Meredith shares her experiences living with angioedema and how she manages anxiety related to her condition.

Meredith has lived most of her life with angioedema, a condition that made everyday moments unpredictable and heightened anxiety over sudden swelling. The uncertainty fueled stress, while medical guidance was sometimes helpful and other times frustrating. Through remission, she’s discovered ways to stay calm during flare-ups, explain her condition to others, and maintain perspective, always taking serious reactions like anaphylaxis seriously. Even amid unpredictability, she’s found a balance of control, humor, and hope. All the links: https://linktr.ee/anxietymakesmepoop We are so grateful you’re here. THANK YOU for your monthly support.
