“In 2016, everything went a bit sideways for me. I was out with friends, trampolining, and suddenly, I felt off and even fainted. Everyone thought I was just joking around at first. But after that, my health just started to go downhill. I was dealing with these intense headaches, like sharp shooting pains, and I was fainting pretty much every day. I kept going back and forth to the doctors, but nobody could figure out what was wrong.
After some time, the dizziness began to ease off a bit, but I was still getting these horrible headaches and feeling rubbish overall. Then, my legs started to feel really weak, and I couldn’t even walk around the shops without holding onto my mum. It got to a point where I couldn’t even stand up properly or feel my right foot.
When I started working with The Fibro Guy, they did this full assessment, looking at where I was at and what I needed to work on. The idea was to build a solid foundation before getting into more intense stuff. They had me doing these specific exercises at home, which were all about getting my stability and coordination in a better place.
The sessions were challenging, not gonna lie. Especially this one exercise that was just too tough for me at first. But we tweaked it, made it a bit easier, and I started to see some improvements. My stability was getting better, and I could feel my left foot again, which was a big deal for me.
Fast forward a bit, and things really started to click. It wasn’t just about the physical stuff; it was also about getting my head around it all. The guidance from The Fibro Guy was a massive part of that. It’s been a journey, for sure, but I’ve come a long way. I’ve gone from hardly being able to move around to getting back some independence, and that feels awesome. It just goes to show, with the right support and a bit of hard work, you can make some serious changes in your life.”
