Thank you Ashanti for sharing your story and for sacrificing the energy I know it must have taken to provide this video taping.❤

I completely understand. It's like the chair you're sitting in gets yanked out from underneath you one day and you can't get back up. Thank you for advocacy Ashanti!

A common story, from peak health to chronic illness. Impressed that Ashanti has access to plasmapheresis.
