“Believe You”

A young mother, Mai, has been struggling with her health ever  since the birth of her daughter, Dira. She’s exhausted, gaining weight, experiencing shooting pain through her legs, and wakes up with numbness spreading across her entire body. She  is in constant agony. But the doctors don’t think anything is wrong with her – she’s stressed, she’s a hypochondriac, it’s just fatigue – and despite everything Mai does to make herself better, she still feels alone. Until she finally finds a way to advocate for her health, and finds an ally who does more than prescribe…they listen.
