For years, Phoebe Tesoriere was told her deteriorating physical health was in her head. Despite suffering from severe seizures, frequent falls, and a progressive loss of mobility, doctors repeatedly dismissed her symptoms as anxiety, depression, or epilepsy. At one point, after returning from the emergency room in Cardiff, Wales, she was even warned in writing that if she kept coming back, she would be treated strictly as a mental health patient.

Tesoriere’s health struggles began early in life, with walking difficulties initially attributed to being born without a left hip socket. While she underwent bone grafts to address the hip issue, her abnormal gait and balance problems persisted. By 2022, she was diagnosed with epilepsy after collapsing at work, but the treatments did little to stop her physical decline.

Things took a terrifying........
