I wish someone had told me these things when I was living with chronic pain. I learned the lessons the hard way and hope they make your journey a little easier.

If you’re living with chronic pain, follow me. I’ll share what I learned along the way 🫶

“If you can’t see the pain,” they told me, “it’s not real.”

Eight doctors. Eight times I described the same pain, in the same detail. Eight times I was dismissed, and every time I felt more lost.

Like I was invisible in the room.

What none of them understood: chronic pain leaves no mark. You can’t point to it and you can’t see it. But that doesn’t mean it’s not there.

Let’s take migraines, fibromyalgia, or complex regional pain syndrome. These conditions can cause severe, constant pain even when every test comes back “normal.”

Yet so many of us are told it’s all in our heads.

So don’t believe that your chronic pain doesn’t exist. There’s a lot of misinformation and a lot of doctors who aren’t trained in it.

But a doctor telling you nothing’s wrong isn’t the final word.

Living with chronic pain taught me how misunderstood and stigmatized it really is. It doesn’t follow predictable patterns. It can be invisible to everyone else and still be completely real to the person living with it.

If you’re living with chronic pain and feel isolated and misunderstood, follow me. I’m here to make pain easier to understand.

For years, I built my life around the belief I would never be pain free. Every decision was made around my flare ups:

I said no to meeting with friends. I turned down weekend trips. I skipped birthdays and family dinners.

I learned how to influence the pain with breathing exercises, mindfulness, meditation, gentle exercises, and art therapy.

But nutrition?

Never came up. Not once.

We talked about medication. We talked about ways to manage the pain. We never talked about what I was eating.

So I started doing my own research and changed what’s on my plate:

🔹 More colourful veggies and fruit for vitamins
🔹 More nuts, seeds, and avocados for healthy fats
🔹 More whole grains and legumes for fiber
🔹 More cruciferous veggies for phytonutrients
🔹 More herbs and spices for antioxidants
🔹 More leafy green veggies for anti-inflammatory benefits

I wasn’t looking for another way to manage the pain. I wanted to heal 💪

19 years ago I was told forever. Today I’m eight years into proving that wrong.

Supporting my body, lowering inflammation and making recovery possible.

That’s what building a lifestyle to heal from chronic pain can look like.

If you’re ready to build habits that support your body and your healing, DM me THRIVE to learn more.

1. Movement was a big part of my healing journey

I started small and built from there. It was important to let my body set the pace.

2. My gut was out of balance

The gut isn’t just about digestion but directly linked to inflammation, and inflammation is a major driver of chronic pain -> I focused on healing my gut.

3. I realised it was better to rest before the pain took over

Resting helped me reduce overload and flare-ups. Long-term it helped my recovery from chronic pain.

4. Poor sleep made dealing with my pain even harder

Because the pain disrupted my sleep and poor sleep intensified the pain, I started winding down before bed.

5. I paid attention to how stress affected my pain

Managing stress became another way of calming my nervous system and reducing my sensitivity to pain.

6. The people around me became an important part of my recovery

Having a medical team I could rely on and building strong connections gave me support, brought me joy and distracted me from the pain.

7. Giving up was never an option for me

Being in constant pain was draining so I had to shift my focus regularly to not give up. It was all about trying, adapting and taking the next step even when I did not feel like it.

If you’re ready to build habits that support your body and your healing, DM me THRIVE to learn more.

At 28, I was a personal assistant leading my own team. I was successful, independent, and had just gotten my motorbike license.

Then, in November 2006, the accident happened. From one second to the next, I was in so much pain I couldn’t walk anymore.

Despite everything I tried, it didn’t get better. I went from doctor to doctor without being taken seriously.

Slowly, my foot became more swollen, red, and shiny, and the pain spread from my foot and ankle up my leg until I found myself in a wheelchair.

Then in April 2007, I was finally diagnosed and treatment started soon afterwards. My pain improved, but I was told I would never fully heal and never be pain-free.

At 39, I began digging deep into chronic pain management and healing. That changed everything.

Pain wasn’t the enemy and medication wasn’t the answer. I was wrong about that for so long.

What had kept me from healing for 11 years, I overcame in just 10 months.

Today, I’m 47, going on long walks with my dog, working out every day, doing my grocery shopping, or walking barefoot in nature. Just living a normal life, free from the overwhelming fear of pain putting me in a wheelchair again.

If you’re living with chronic pain, stick around. I’m sharing what helped me go from 12 years of pain to living pain-free.

In 2012, I was in a pain clinic when they asked our group to walk barefoot in the forest. It was a grounding exercise but I said no.

Today, I don’t hesitate walking barefoot in nature.

Healing isn’t linear but it’s possible.

If you have CRPS or chronic pain, save this for the day you doubt healing is possible.
