Welcome to Chronius Health: Your Partner in your Invisible Illness Journey
A note from our founder, Danielle:
Imagine being 25, navigating the fast-paced world of the White House as an economic policy advisor. Days filled with policy briefings, strategy meetings, and a touch of the excitement that only the heart of the nation's capital can offer. That was my life—seemingly perfect from the outside. But something lurked beneath that was invisible to everyone around me, a persistent fatigue — a kind you feel deep within your bones, not just the exhaustion after a day's work.
I chalked it up to long hours, assuming I would be able to just “push through”. However, a trip to my primary care doctor and a series of tests unveiled a reality I wasn’t prepared for: a Sjögren's diagnosis, my first — of what turned out to be many — autoimmune disease.
Years passed and just when I thought I had adjusted to this new reality, my body had a different story to tell. The debilitating fatigue gave way to more alarming symptoms: I couldn't lift my arms, my eye drooped, my heart raced, and numbness overtook my fingers. To say I was scared would be an understatement. Especially when, one day, these escalating symptoms culminated in a terrifying visit to the Neuro ICU for a stroke.
And even then, my symptoms remained a mystery. My days, which should’ve been about recovery, were consumed with administrative follow-ups, hours lost in medical journals, and endless organization — all with the aim of getting answers and getting better. And yet, at my lowest moments, I realized something: if I was struggling this much, surely others were too.
Turns out, I wasn't alone. Over 75 million Americans (1 in 4!), much like me, are navigating this uncharted terrain of complex, chronic illness, each looking for clarity and support. That's more than those with Type II Diabetes, Cancer, and COPD combined. This realization was the spark for Chronius Health.
