Are you struggling with chronic pain, anxiety, or age-related health challenges?

Meet Kristo—he suffered from pains in his body, fibromyalgia, three heart attacks, and one stroke, and has been using a sleep apnea device since 2012.

After 25 years of diligently following the medications and surgeries prescribed to him, his long-term doctors informed him in mid-May 2019 that they could no longer do anything for him. By this point, his body had deteriorated significantly.

He could no longer walk well. His vision was only 30% after two failed eye operations. Using two crutches, he could move a maximum of 100 meters before losing balance and falling over due to the pain. He had been suffering from chronic fatigue for at least 30 years, dragging himself through each day.

His wife, his caregiver for many years, juggled her job in childcare with an unpaid "job" as a nurse, driver, cook, cleaning lady, gardener, and chef, leaving her little time in her busy, hectic life.

Kristo was told to get comfortable in a scooter for disabled people and a wheelchair because that was going to be his life going forward. Their world fell apart - until a friend introduced him to our program.

See the new man! Kristo’s journey from chronic fatigue and debilitating pain to renewed vitality is just one example of how our program is helping many people get their lives back holistically, without medications and surgeries.

We are looking to talk to 60 men and women, especially those over 50, who have health problems and are serious about finding a proper solution.

Your insights will help us build a program tailored to your needs. Participants will be rewarded with a 10% discount when the program launches. It provides transformative results, by the way.

Interested? YES or NO?

Disability is Headed to the International Stage!

Hi all! I have been a part of this community for a while and you guys have given me so much strength so I want to include you amazing humans in this achievement.

Today I was crowned Miss North America Revolutionary and I will be headed to the international competition in February.

I’m really excited for this year because I get to tell everyone about my platform which I’m calling Breaking the Glass Ceiling.

I’m focusing in on the idea that as a community those of us with disabilities often struggle to find gainful employment and so we can have a lower quality of life when compared to others.

My goal is to help educate employers and government officials on how to create meaningful accommodations in the workplace.

I would really appreciate your help sharing my message! So, could each of you share my story with your friends and family? Let’s make an impact!

What people don’t realize

You know what sucks? People don’t realize that having celiac doesn’t mean if I avoid gluten I’m fine. I still just sometimes feel sick, for no good reason. Todays one of those days. #CeliacDisease #BadDay

Hey y'all!

I'm new, my name is Labradored. I am here because of multiple medical and mental health issues. My oldest daughter was born with Rett Syndrome (a pervasive developmental disability with serious health issues) and died from a seizure in my arms at 12 years old in 1993. My youngest daughter died in a car accident at 17 in 2000. They were my only children. I was so very blessed to be their momma.
My medical issues include long term insulin dependent diabetes II, exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, Celiac disease, asthma, osteoarthritis, severe food, drug and environmental allergies, dysphasia, Barrett's esophagus, eosinophilic esophagitis, GERD, chronic stomach issues, and IBS.
My mental health concerns include Major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety, OCD and ADHD, and complicated grief related PTSD.
The memes on this site are helping me get through this current gastro flare, I've been nauseous all day today with vomiting and diarrhea for the last 12 hours . This happens about twice per month. My food menu is quite limited due to allergies to gluten, soy, most non citrus fruit, lactose intolerance and tree nut and peanuts. I feel like I develop a new food allergy every year.
My medical issues began shortly after my youngest girl died. Don't let anyone tell you that grief is just an emotional response, grief has wrecked serious havoc on my body.
I have a wonderful husband, supportive and loving friends, a great career as a behavioral health counselor and three fur babies who provide unconditional love and entertainment.
Most of the time I manage pretty well, but when my health conditions flare, it tanks my mental health as well.
Looking forward to sharing and receiving. 🩵🩷 Blessings upon you all.

Dating with chronic illnesses.

Hey all. I'm currently going through a divorce, after almost 21 years of marriage. Considering I've already been grieving that relationship for a few years, I'd like to get back out there (while taking things slow). It's definitely a bit overwhelming though. I married when I was 19 and my ex is the only person I've had sex with (tmi, sorry). I never dated much. On top of that, I have Fibromyalgia, Dysautonomia, Celiac Disease (so no restaraunt dates for me), and Chronic Fatigue Sydrome. I have some mobility issues, can't be very active, don't have a car, etc etc.

Does anyone have any tips on how to handle these concerns? I don't want to blurt out all of my health issues and symptoms right away. But I also want to give some sort of heads up so they're not shocked when I show up with a cane or have my mom drop me off. Argh. Life.

Airbourne gluten ingestion

I am new to this group. I am searching for answers. I feel so defeated. I was diagnosed around 2 years ago. I am a teacher and a mom. Between my students, my children, and the public in general, I seem to be ingesting gluten through others. It's in the air and I get ill. Really ill. It is debilitating. #CeliacDisease

I'm new here!

Hi! I'm here because I want to learn more about recent diagnosis for chronic Lyme & dysautonomia (still figuring out what) & treatment options. I do have other co/chronic illness as well.
