Taran from the United States shares her journey with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), which began in 2015 when she suddenly passed out at work, becoming bedridden for six months. Despite being very active beforehand, she was left confused and distressed. After researching online and consulting with a cardiologist, Taran received diagnoses for POTS and EDS.

For several years, they underwent a trial-and-error approach to treatment. In September 2024, Taran's mother discovered low-dose naltrexone (LDN) as a potential treatment, leading Taran to a primary care physician specializing in EDS. Nervously, she started LDN at a low dose and experienced significant pain and fatigue relief within days. After finding their optimal dose at 4.5 mg, Taran described the medication as a life-changing experience.

Reflecting on her childhood, Taran recalls having eczema, random rashes, and food sensitivities, which went unnoticed due to their active lifestyle. Overall, she express gratitude for LDN and its impact on managing her symptoms.
