She knew she was sick.
Her doctors knew she was sick.
But the one person meant to protect her never believed the treatment.
When her mum chooses a new life over listening to medical advice, she's sent to live with her step-brother - the boy she grew up with, the one person who couldn't say no. At his flat, recovery comes slowly, measured in salt packets, careful steps, and days where standing still feels like success.
When circumstances force him back to work, help comes from an unexpected place: a friend who asks questions, learns the condition, and stays - not because he has to, but because he wants to.
Measured in Salt is a slow-burn chronic illness story about PoTS, medical neglect, learning to trust treatment, and the quiet kind of love that grows through care, patience, and choice.
