Living Better & Loving Life

My passion is to teach people living with chronic conditions how to "Live Better & Love Life".
  
Living with a chronic condition can create fatigue and a diminished quality of life.  When that chronic condition involves constant pain, the fatigue and diminished quality of life are accelerated and intensified - depression not far behind.

I lost my home, my family, my business, and even my friends due to my inability to control the symptoms that come with Fibromyalgia and Myofascial Pain Syndrome...

Living with a chronic condition can create fatigue and a diminished quality of life.  When that chronic condition involves constant pain, the fatigue and diminished quality of life are accelerated and intensified - depression not far behind.

I lost my home, my family, my business, and even my friends due to my inability to control the symptoms that come with Fibromyalgia and Myofascial Pain Syndrome.  I did pretty well the first 5 or 6 years but one year my holistic health treatments, physical therapy, and prescription medications just stopped working.  No matter what I tried, I seemed to be getting worse.  The depression consumed me after living in constant pain for an entire year.  I was finally admitted to the hospital where I stayed for about a week - My quality of life was so bad, my preference was to end it.

While in the hospital, I was introduced to a pain management clinic that treat their patients as real human beings with emotions, feelings, families, friends, jobs, and lives.  I visited this clinic two and three times a week to learn how to better manage the chronic conditions and within two months, for the first time in years, I was feeling somewhat normal.  

It is a lifelong process of creating balance within my daily life but I am living it every single day and loving life once again!

My passion is to teach people living with chronic conditions how to "Live Better & Love Life" no matter what challenges they face.  

You don't have to just live with it.  You don't have to experience pain every day.  And you don't have to accept the quality of life you are living if you don't want to.  Reach out for help and let me help you help yourself.  

Namaste'
