Manage episode 520352787 series 3600691
“As patients, especially with illnesses like fibromyalgia where your doctor really doesn't know what to do with you, it's our responsibility to educate ourselves as much as possible.” —Tami Stackelhouse
Some days your body sends signals you can’t quite explain and no one seems to have answers. It can feel like you’re carrying a weight that doesn’t show on the outside. There’s a better way to understand what your body is trying to tell you.
Tami Stackelhouse walks through the long road from years of pain and confusion to becoming a leading fibromyalgia coach and educator. Her story shows how science, self-advocacy, and the right support can completely change the path forward.
Topics we cover:
• Early symptoms people overlook
• How chronic stress can flip the fibromyalgia switch
• What doctors typically miss and why
• Why individualized care beats a one-size-fits-all approach
• Sleep, supplements, and daily habits that make a real difference
• How to find the right coach or provider
• Encouragement for anyone who thinks they’ve “tried everything”
