How does Karissa Fox address medical gaslighting in her advocacy work?

As an advocate for chronic illness, I address medical gaslighting by encouraging individuals to trust their instincts and their knowledge of their own bodies. I believe that just because a doctor doesn't have an answer, it doesn't mean there isn't one. I emphasize the importance of not letting someone else's doubt steal your hope and to keep searching for the right answers. I also stress that it's okay to ask more questions, to keep looking, and to trust your gut over someone's degree. I want to empower individuals to believe that they are not too complex or too much, but are just waiting to be truly understood.

In my advocacy work, I also share my personal experiences with chronic illness and the struggles I've faced with medical professionals. I hope that by sharing my journey, I can help others feel less alone and more empowered in their own health journeys.

Do you have any specific questions about medical gaslighting or chronic illness advocacy?
