Kimberly Rodriguez is the proud owner and author of Unfolding Grace.
She was first diagnosed with epilepsy in her teens, experiencing both petit mal and grand mal seizures. She later developed POTS in her mid-twenties, followed by two consecutive myasthenic crises a couple years later. While she is still undergoing testing, her medical team believes the most recent symptoms to be myasthenia gravis.
She has taken these experiences as an opportunity to learn more about chronic illness, gain a greater appreciation for life, and build a community of hope with others. She lives in California with her loving family and pets.
Hi, I’m Kimberly and I’m so glad you’re here! I created Unfolding Grace to be a resource for those seeking advice, research, and connection in the world of chronic illness. Hospital stays and specialist visits can be disorienting, not to mention dealing with insurance. Having someone share their experiences with me and my family so I would feel empowered, not isolated, while navigating this confusing journey would have been amazing. So that’s what I hope to create for you.
I’ll share my personal experiences, health tips, informative posts on different tests and equipment, break down of chronic illnesses, important medical documents and more. These are things I’ve picked up along the way (that by no means make me an expert) but are beneficial to have in your arsenal to be your best advocate. I’m continuously learning so please feel free to comment any additional info you have on any post to help others!
I hope to help you find strength, support, and community. That this blog serves as a reminder that you’re not alone in this! Whether you’re dealing with chronic illness, chronic pain, or the dreadful American healthcare system–even as a caregiver or physician–we’re stronger together.
Thank you for being here 🙂
