We talk CIPD with Anna DiBlosi
At 26, Anna DiBlosi experienced the sudden onset of an undiagnosed autoimmune disorder that completely turned her life upside down. She went from working full-time, having a social life and living her dream in Los Angeles, CA to being fully bed-bound and reliant on her family for care. For years, she was a "medical mystery," struggling to be heard by medical professionals and fighting for answers.
She was eventually diagnosed with CIDP, a rare autoimmune disorder that targets the nerves. Her diagnosis allowed her to access the right medical treatment, but her life is still far from what it once was. She now spends her time focused on advocacy and community building. Through her social media channels, Anna raises awareness for invisible illnesses and shares her experience living with CIDP. She also hosts a monthly support group in Los Angeles called the Chronic Illness Support Club, offering a space for others navigating similar challenges to connect and find support.
