Briana has championed the TSW community in many ways over the years, often while experiencing her own personal health challenges and healing milestones.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We honor Briana Banos <\/strong>for her courage and determination to hold a light to the real impact of TSW Syndrome. Preventable, released in March 2019 has drawn close to 80k views. That is remarkable when you consider that Briana was still recovering from TSW Syndrome while producing, writing, editing and directing the film.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis project filled my heart and home for two years and I am so grateful for this experience.

TSW long haulers first met Briana through YouTube videos she shared in 2015. Suddenly the stigma of a full body flare and losing hair was lessened as sufferers and caregivers felt seen. Through humor and lived experience, Briana led the way by highlighting invisible hurdles including the challenge of when a doctor dismisses your condition. She also explained ways for loved ones to help TSW sufferers. \u201cEven just coming over and sitting there, there doesn\u2019t have to be a conversation, just the comfort of your company beside us means the world.

Loneliness from wanting to do so much, but being benched because of our illness and not having much if any support from the medical community when we need it most. TSW can feel like a prison sentence\u2026now I didn\u2019t come here to depress you, TSW has pretty much got that covered. I wanted to leave you with four things, four ways to keep that train of hope moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>First, you are not alone. If you ever find yourself needing companionship or support there are so many TSW Facebook groups that are private, just for us, even for caregivers and mothers that are expecting. There is even ITSAN, our very own nonprofit that fights for us every single day.
