This week we are joined by fellow aeromedical reform advocate, Courtney Anderson. Courtney is a student pilot at Embry Riddle, Daytona Beach. During freshman year she became sick and had no clue why. After multiple appointments, unanswered questions, and not being taken seriously by doctors for almost an entire year… Courtney was eventually diagnosed with Hashimoto disease. She describes her experience while undiagnosed and her recovery; as well as her journey back to flight training. Like so many women across the country, doctors failed to take her seriously. If Courtney had not taken the time to advocate for herself she might still be suffering undiagnosed. Her story is inspiring and we hope it gives you the courage to weather the storm of your own health struggles. SOCIAL LINKS-
