Namaste,
For me, my fibromyalgia started with childhood and teenage trauma. That trauma shaped how my brain developed and kept my body stuck in a constant state of "fight or flight" as I grew up.

Years later, a head-on car crash brought it all to the surface.

My body was already overloaded, and that physical crash triggered 24/7 pain that has never stopped. Because I didn't realize how much unaddressed emotional trauma affects physical health, it brought on my fibro and other health conditions much earlier in life than expected. It really shows how connected the brain and body are! 💡🩵
