Season 2 & The Webby Awards

A note to our listeners: As we prepare for Season 2 of Symptomatic, we remain dedicated to connecting with more listeners by shining a light on diseases and conditions that are difficult to diagnose - and we can use your help getting the word out: Recently, Symptomatic was honored with a nomination for this year’s Webby Awards - which is an annual showcase spotlighting some of the biggest and best content from across the internet.  Symptomatic is nominated in the Best Series category for podcasts, which we could not have accomplished without the support of our listeners. The more recognition we can receive, the better our opportunity to raise awareness for those battling unknown illnesses. Which helps us to continue spotlighting the incredibly courageous and inspiring people we feature each week on Symptomatic. We’ll be back with more stories on Season 2 soon. In the meantime, please visit vote.webbyawards.com to cast your vote. We’d very much appreciate it!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How terrifying would it be to fight an unknown enemy? One you don’t recognize and didn’t see coming? What if that enemy was coming from within; a disease that even doctors couldn’t identify? Nearly half of all Americans suffer from some chronic illness and many struggle for an accurate diagnosis. Every other week on Symptomatic, host Lauren Bright Pacheco unravels the medical mystery of a patient’s baffling symptoms and explores how their lives were turned upside down in search of answers.  From the first signs of trouble, through a swirl of misdirection and failed treatment attempts, to the final relief at a confirmed diagnosis - these are their stories. This is Symptomatic. We want to hear from you! Tell us what you think of the show or share your own medical mystery by emailing us at Symptomatic@iHeartMedia.com.
