New Member Story: Geneva Burke
SHOCK TREATMENTS WERE NOT THE ANSWER
Geneva had been a healthy woman, until she had her second child. At that point, life changed for her, and it changed for the worse. She became very ill and suffered bouts of terrible pain. None of her doctors could determine what was the cause of her illness despite repeated tests. Eventually, her doctors no longer believed that her symptoms and pain had a physical source. Instead she was told repeatedly that her illness was "in her head." This medical response has happened to many people who have one of the acute porphyrias.
