I've suffered from many chronic illnesses for over 23 years. In researching my various conditions, I've improved the quality of my life. It's not perfect due to things like Fibromyalgia, but I'm thankful to still be able to do some things. My approach is very out-of-the-box as many doctors have been unable to help me and only provided me with symptom treatment, if that. Finding our triggers and root cause is essential to getting our lives back. We can't fix it by popping Ibuprofen. Chronic illness requires a multi-pronged approach to improve the quality of our lives.
I am not a medical professional and am merely sharing my opinions and experiences, please find a good G.P. or Functional Medicine Doctor.
