After yet another round of dead ends—including a visit to Mayo Clinic—I hit my lowest point. But just when I was ready to give up, something unexpected gave me hope. 🌱
This chapter of my 15-year health journey is raw, real, and a turning point I didn’t see coming.
In Part 6 of my healing journey, I share the winding road that led to a surprising diagnosis—Pelvic Venous Insufficiency—a condition that had silently wreaked havoc on my body for years. What followed was a deep dive into misdiagnosed symptoms, overlooked medical records, and ultimately, a surgery that dramatically improved my energy, circulation, and daily life.
More leg pain, more anxiety, more shingles. Doctors. X-rays. Physical therapy. Meds. More doctors.
Each one promised help. Each one came up short.
Everyone said I was “fine.” But I was falling apart.
If you’ve ever been dismissed, misdiagnosed, or made to feel like your suffering was in your head—you are not alone.
After continued infertility, worsening pain, stomach issues and more, I seek help from holistic and conventional providers, with disheartening results.
I thought childbirth would be the hardest part. I was wrong. I started to experience unexplained and seemingly unconnected health issues: from pelvic pain, to crippling anxiety, to infertility. I was exhausted and confused, but thought this normal for a new mom.
Fifteen years of fatigue that no amount of sleep could fix, pain that no doctor could explain, crippling anxiety, and a slew of other symptoms that seemed unrelated yet kept stacking up like a puzzle with missing pieces. Fifteen years searching until I finally found the causes and regained my health. This is my story.
