I wanted to take a moment to thank all the people who have read and written to me regarding my post on Fibromyalgia, written a few years back now (original post here). It seems there are a lot of people searching and seeking answers about Fibromyalgia and chronic pain relief, and in my experience, this search is exactly what we need to do to move forward through any challenging situation.
I also wanted to give an update on my own health and healing journey, as a certified homeopath offering online homeopathy consultations across Canada and the US. While we can draw upon each other’s experiences, no two people walk exactly the same path. What worked and works for me may not be the perfect fit for you. That said, I feel a need to share a bit of my own story. As a wise friend of mine once told me, “People love stories of transformation.” I think this is true—stories, irrespective of how directly applicable the details may be to our own lives, can inspire and draw out larger universal truths and patterns, from which we can learn, benefit, and take heart.
So, with all of this introductory preamble, here is an update on my own experience with Fibromyalgia and how homeopathic remedies, mindfulness, and lifestyle changes have transformed my life.
Rediscovering Life Through Healing
Two years ago, on the 1st of April, one of the best days of my life as I look back, I felt in a good enough place physically, at the age of 40, to start playing tennis. Stepping out onto the tennis court after living through 12 years of physical pain overtaking my life in every way was a moment of pure joy.
Growing up, I had always been athletic, strong, and physically free. At age 30, during my illness, I fell in love with tennis but was relegated to being just a fan. It was a tough sport to imagine playing, as my primary struggle with Fibromyalgia was recovering after physical exertion. Even small tasks left me inflamed, sore, and incapacitated for days.
The first few months of playing tennis again, I braced myself for the familiar post-exertion misery. But it never came. Yes, there was soreness—a normal kind of recovery pain—but nothing debilitating. Epsom salt baths, homeopathic remedies like Arnica and Rhus Tox, and the newfound joy of movement helped me ease through the process. For those suffering with Fibromyalgia, I know you understand how monumental this shift was.
Homeopathy and Chronic Pain
As a homeopath, I see Fibromyalgia as a condition deeply connected to the nervous system, stress, and emotional trauma. Over the years, I’ve worked with individuals across Canada and the US, offering personalized online consultations to help manage symptoms and support healing. Remedies like Rhus Tox are tailored to address specific pain patterns, while others like Symphytum can support recovery from injuries.
These remedies, combined with mindfulness, yoga, and consistent self-care, can help rebalance the body and mind. My practice, Homeopathy Online, specializes in offering compassionate and effective support for conditions like Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and other chronic illnesses.
Moving Beyond Pain
Learning tennis, becoming active again, and even lifting barbells at the YMCA has been part of my continued healing. For someone who couldn’t walk comfortably for years, squatting and deadlifting is a testament to how much things can change. But it’s not just about the physical. The joy of movement and play, the opportunity to connect with others, and the chance to reclaim my passions have all been essential.
Healing isn’t linear, and setbacks like breaking my wrist last year reminded me how important resilience and support are. The discomfort during recovery brought back echoes of my worst days with Fibromyalgia, but it also reminded me of how far I’ve come.
If there’s one takeaway from my journey, it’s this: healing is possible. It may not be quick or easy, but with the right support—be it homeopathy, mindfulness, or a trusted community—you can find your path forward.
