I've been dealing with health issues for many years, some for most of my life. A few months ago I was diagnosed with MALS (Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome) and some other vascular compressions. These are all very rare, but more likely rarely diagnosed. We need more awareness, research, surgeons, knowledgeable doctors, and support for these compressions! Like me and many others it takes years to get to this point and figure out what's going on. These compressions cause lack of blood flow to vital organs, consistent abdominal pain that worsens with eating, nausea, chest pain, heart palpitations, extreme fatigue, and much more. The only cure for MALS is surgery to release the compression. Thank you for all your support for these organizations :) To follow my story: https://sunshinejournal13.blogspot.com/
