Up at Three: My Life with EoE

Society EN ↓ 12 episodes

Up at Three, named after the many nights of lost sleep due to symptoms of her illness, paints a picture of life with Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE). While learning to cope with her illness, Carley McClain found there to be a significant lack in what she needed most: an idea of how other people actually go about living with EoE. In an effort both to fill that empty space and cope with her own illness, Carley shares about her struggle with EoE and managing it along with everyday stressors. Fellow patients, caregivers, and the simply curious are all welcome.
