Speaker 1 (00:02):
I started getting some pretty significant rashes.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Towards the end of the day. I thought, my scalp
is tingly and my face feels numb. I started slurring
my words a little bit. I was struggling to drink water.
What I was turning into was kind of this person
that was starting to lose touch with reality a little bit.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
How terrifying would it be to fight an unknown enemy,
one you don't recognize and didn't see coming. What if
that enemy was coming from within a disease that even
doctors couldn't identify.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
It's such a baffling set of symptoms. I was confused.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
I was completely lost, doctor saying yes, there is something wrong,
but not knowing what it was.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Nearly half of all Americans suffer from a chronic illness,
and many struggle for an accurate diagnosis. I'm Lauren Bride
pacheco host of Symptomatic medical mystery podcast. Last season on Symptomatic,
we investigated the stories of everyday people who have battled
with the baffling symptoms of an unknown medical condition, and
(01:11):
for season two, we're out to uncover even more.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
There were three very tiny dots on my brain. You
couldn't imagine that anyone could be alive and have a
mutation in that gene.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
And so we were all just like, Wow, there's really
a name for this. Join us each episode as we
witness firsthand the threatening disruptions these symptoms caused in the
lives of those desperate for answers, from the onset of
symptoms to the relief of a life changing diagnosis. These
are their stories. This is Symptomatic, a production of Ruby

October third, and you can look for new episodes dropping
