Myriam, 50

Céline, 52

November 10, 2022, around 5:20 p.m., marked a turning point in my life. Since then, there has been a before and an after. That day, during a routine boxing workout, a sharp pain shot up between my shoulder blades, gradually spreading to my neck and then to my jaw. I wasn’t worried, thinking I’d [...]

Marine, 36

“It’s January 2024. A month after giving birth, I wake up with a start. My heart is racing—it’s beating at over 180 beats per minute. This isn’t just a simple flutter; I feel like I’m about to pass out… I’m short of breath, exhausted, and have a persistent cough. But, like many new [...]
