Learning to adapt to life after being diagnosed with chronic pain and illness is extremely difficult.

Life as you knew it, along with your hopes and dreams for your life, literally gets turned upside down in an instant. This comes with a lot of deep complicated emotions from grief, sadness, anger, frustration to living in a constant state of uncertainty and stress.

Most people assume that if you get sick, a medical professional like Dr. House will work endlessly until they have answers and a cure so you can go back to living the life you used to know. Unfortunately, most people living with chronic pain don't get answers to what the root of the problem is, let alone get a clear line of treatment. And getting a cure is as likely as winning the lottery!

In addition, she lives with a number of autoimmune conditions including Inflammatory Bowel Disease, in which she underwent life-saving ileostomy surgery to remove her entire colon.
