For years, I lived with pain that no doctor could explain. Every morning I woke up with a pounding headache and body aches that made even simple tasks feel impossible. My back ached, my neck was stiff, and sometimes my joints felt like they were on fire. I tried everything painkillers, massages, even expensive supplements but nothing worked for long.
At the hospital, doctors ran every test imaginable. They told me my results were “normal,” yet I was far from okay. I began to think maybe the pain was in my mind. My family grew worried because I could barely work or sleep. Friends stopped visiting because I was always sick and moody. I was tired of suffering in silence and tired of pretending I was fine when I wasn’t.
