Check out the inspiring Life as a Zebra Foundation webpage and meet the powerhouse foundation founder, who turned her medical challenges and frustrations into an organization to provide support and validation for all people whose symptoms are unique or not visible to others. In her words,
“Why “Life As A Zebra? In medical school, students are taught to diagnose patients based on the condition that’s most likely. This idea goes along with the saying, “When you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras.” The horses are the likely explanation, while the zebras are less likely. A medical zebra, then, is a person with a difficult to diagnose, often invisible medical condition.”
