RIZZO RUNWAY: My solo dance about my chronic illnesses: POTS Sydrome, Narcolepsy and Cataplexy.


This is a dance I choreographed about my chronic illnesses and how getting diagnosed with POTS syndrome, Narcolepsy and Cataplexy has been life changing. Everyday is a battle. Not only do I have to fight my symptoms but I have to fight for my rights and to be respected. My chronic illnesses are rare and incurable and are considered "invisible illnesses", because you can't tell I'm sick just from looking at me. This then leads to people like me being called liars and people having no sympathy towards us because we look fine to them. This dance was choreographed to show people the battle I face everyday knowing that due to my chronic illnesses I'm no longer in control of my body.

(Fast Forward it and watch the Saturday performance one at the end, since it's the better performance.)

  1. I couldn't watch this for some reason. I'm sorry for what you're dealing with & empathize with you. Just because something can't be seen, doesn't mean it's not there. I also suffer from things that are invisible to the naked eye & have people be rude and mean to me due to it. Take care and God bless! :)

  3. As a sign of gratitude on how my husband was saved from Narcolepsy, i decided to reach out to those still suffering from this.
    My husband suffered Narcolepsy Disorder and it was really tough and heartbreaking for me because he was my all and the symptoms were terrible, we tried various therapies prescribed by our neurologist but none could cure him. I searched for a cure and i saw a testimony of so many people who was cured from Narcolepsy Disorder. and so many other with similar body problem, and they left the contact of this doctor who had the herbal cure to Narcolepsy Disorder. I never imagined Narcolepsy Disorder has a cure not until i contacted him and he assured me my husband will be fine. I got the herbal medication he recommended and my husband used it and in one month he was fully okay even up till this moment he is so full of life. Narcolepsy Disorder has a cure and it is a herbal cure contact the doctor for more info on drwilliams098675@gmail.com on how to get the medication. Thanks for reading my testimony
