Tennis as Therapy for Autoimmune Warrior | Montreal News
Description
Tiffany Thompson, battling three autoimmune diseases and living with just 42% lung capacity, turned her pain into power—by picking up a tennis racket. Diagnosed with Lupus, Scleroderma, and Myositis, she’s faced misdiagnoses, kidney failure, and daily exhaustion—but instead of hiding, she’s using sport to connect, heal, and inspire. She speaks candidly about how systemic racism in medicine left her symptoms ignored—and why chronic illness isn’t just physical, but emotional, social, and deeply personal. Her message? Stop putting others first. Prioritize your body. Your silence doesn’t make you invisible—it makes your struggle harder. You’re not broken. You’re brave. And you’re not alone.
