For years, Annkia knew something wasn't right. At just 9 years old, she was living with constant pain, countless trips to the bathroom, and long periods away from school. As doctors searched for answers, she found herself navigating a childhood marked by hospital visits, procedures, medication, and the loneliness of being misunderstood. In Part 1 of her story, Annkia shares what it was like growing up with a chronic health condition, being dismissed by adults who should have helped, missing school because of pain, and carrying the emotional weight of an illness that nobody seemed able to explain.This is a story about resilience, survival, and the lasting impact of not being believed.
