Began struggling with a debilitating chronic illness that left me disabled for over a year. I had severe fatigue, depression, carpal tunnel, hot flashes, chills, tendonitis, systemic joint pain, crippling neck and back pain. I couldn’t train and couldn’t work. I hit rock bottom and lost everything. My condo, my girlfriend, and my business all evaporated before my eyes.
I saw over a dozen doctors and specialists. 3 different neurologists, 2 hand surgeons that wanted to operate, orthopedics, multiple visits to the endocrinologist with biopsies of my thyroid, physical therapy, cortisone shots, and my primary. They all told me things like, “everything was normal”, “its all in my head”, and did nothing but offer me drugs like pain killers and muscle relaxers. Some of them even laughed at me. I felt broken and disrespected, with no hope of a future.
