![]() ![]() I was determined to figure out how to feel better, Fibromyalgia/CFS definitely knocked me down but I was not going to stay down.Īnd it all started to help, little by little, I was starting to feel better, not great, but better. I started to try different supplements and changed my diet, eliminating processed and fast foods as much as possible. I was determined to heal, I would get down when I had bad flare ups but I kept researching. I intuitively knew that if I could create a life that was not all work, I would feel more content and that would have repercussions in all aspects of my life, including my physical body pain and exhaustion. I began to fill my evenings with activities that brought joy into my life anything from pottery to tennis, even if I was exhausted or feeling pain after work, I made myself go. I changed jobs and stopped traveling for work. After a few months of doing both yoga and acupuncture regularly, I decided to completely change my life. I went up to the instructor and told her how grateful I was for the class. I attended a yoga class at the gym and by the end of my first class I felt more at peace and calmer than I had in ages. She recommended I try yoga which I had done in college a but had totally forgotten about over the years. Her touch was gentle and supportive, I sometimes think her hands were as healing as the actual acupuncture. She was warm and nurturing and almost like a therapist while she was doing the acupuncture. She was quite unbelievable, a true healer who made me feel that there was hope for me and started me on healing journey. I was in my late twenties and I started to fear that I was going to have to live the rest of my life with this discomfort and pain all the time.Īfter I realized that I was not having much luck with Western doctors solutions, I went to an acupuncturist who had been recommended to me by a friend. ![]() I went to every kind of doctor I could think of and tried all different types of medicines but nothing seemed to help. Sadly the diagnosis came without any quick fix, no pill or procedure to eliminate the pain and exhaustion. I was lucky to have a very smart doctor identify my symptoms quickly as something in the ‘Fibromyalgia/Chronic Fatigue’ classification. It came on suddenly but then it is was a constant in my life, it was like I had the flu but it just would not go away. I began to have weird unexplained body aches, terrible headaches and felt fatigued a lot of the time. Needless to say, there was very little time for relaxation or self-care. We renovated three of the four houses we lived in together so that means that on the weekends when we were not traveling for work, we were working on our house (we lived in them while working on them) so we were living in construction zones. My ex-husband and I were both very driven which has its pluses and minuses. I was doing very little that made me happy or that would resemble a healthy work-life balance. I was in my late twenties, traveling a lot for work in a high stress consulting job, living in Atlanta but spending most of my time flying to other cities for work. I began my journey into yoga and healing modalities from a place of pain and desperation.
