Living With An Invisible Illness

"It's a non-fatal disease that can actually wreck your life." Trey sits down with the Director of the Vestibular Program in the Department of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery at the Medical University of South Carolina, Dr. Habib Rizk, to uncover the power of the vestibular system - the tiny network inside your head that helps you balance, move, and navigate the world. They discuss what happens when the vestibular system malfunctions, leading to debilitating, and often misunderstood vestibular disorders. Trey and Dr. Rizk also dissect the challenges of diagnosing these invisible illnesses and why awareness, empathy, and patient advocacy matter more than ever. Learn more about your ad choices.
