Stacey's Recovery Journey

Stacey told us that her main (hardest and longest) symptoms were CFS, FMS for 17+ years, plus severe back/sitting pain which was next to impossible for years. She says, “I also had irritable bowel syndrome, pelvic pain (Pelvic Floor Dysfunction), migraines, numbness, tingling, sinus congestion, insomnia, neck pain, constipation, foot pain, depression, ear pain, shoulder pain, elbow pain, and more. I went from working full time and being active to being practically housebound overnight in 2003. My life turned upside down. I couldn’t work, I lived in fear and spent all my time seeing doctors and looking for a solution. Spent thousands of dollars, easily saw over 100 specialists and even moved away from my husband and dogs to another state for 7 months for treatment only to return in the same condition.

The wheelchair pic is me at Mayo Clinic in spring of 2019. My mom had to wheel me around because I had such intense burning on the bottoms of my feet that I could barely walk except in the house. I had to use a motorized wheelchair if I wanted to go to the grocery store or Dr’s. I received diagnoses of Centralized Sensitization Disorder, FMS, Pelvic Floor Disorder from Mayo and they wanted me to spend $50K on their chronic pain management program. I knew deeply inside that there was more to the symptoms and that my life wasn’t something to accept the way it was!

Thank God I found Curable around the same time and you can imagine how the story improved from there. :) I’m now doing extremely well. I continue to see emotional and physical improvements even now, 3.5 years into my journey. There’s no physical activity I can’t do!! (HUGE win after being in so much pain I could barely twist or bend even though I was a personal trainer!) I still use my tools when I need for symptoms that are stubborn, but I have my life back 100%, truly a dream come true.”

Stacey lived with debilitating CFS, FMS, and widespread chronic pain for more than 17 years, becoming almost housebound and reliant on wheelchairs despite seeing over 100 specialists and trying countless treatments. After discovering tools that helped her address the root causes, she experienced a profound turnaround and now reports full recovery, returning to all physical activities and reclaiming her life completely.
