My Coworker Struggles With PTSD Too
It’s hard to find people who understand you when you struggle with something like PTSD…My coworker shared she struggles with PTSD too. It’s nice to meet someone that understands, but also very sad to know they go through tough situations too.
I also share what’s been going on -
C-PTSD

Feelings of Loneliness
In this episode, I discuss how those of us with chronic pain conditions experience feelings of loneliness. Most specifically how I experience feelings of loneliness while struggling with fibromyalgia and childhood trauma. It’s important to acknowledge that this is a normal and common feeling amongst those of us who have chronic pain conditions.

The First 3 Days After ADR Surgery
In this episode, I discuss my experience after being discharged from anterior artificial disc replacement surgery. You’ll hear about the way fibromyalgia might have had a huge influence on pain control after surgery. I also give a short update about how I feel now that I’m 5 weeks post-op!
By the way, I would like to note that if you listen to my “Intro” episode (maybe other episodes too), things have changed over time and I’m not sure my Bipolar type 2 diagnosis is accurate. Not that labels really matter, but I’m just not sure about this one.

Customer Reviews
This is me
Thank you for sharing your life with us. After years of knowing something isn’t right... labs coming back normal thinking I’m going crazy... it makes sense it’s may be fibromyalgia. I couldn’t remember how to dial a phone! Finally calling a rheumatologist tomorrow.
Glad you are back.
Honey realize you are not alone. I have been dealing with Fibromyalgia for years. It is always a struggle with the symptoms and dealing with doctors. I have been listening to your podcast and I think it does help each one of us. Our Fibromyalgia affects us differently. So sending my support to you.
