Earlier this month I wrote and recorded an audio version of a blog post for #Breathworks as part of #PainAwarenessMonth about my journey with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and how I've worked with the many challenges faced since my big health crash around 15 years ago, leading to doing two ultramarathons.

Have a read, or have a listen (it's linked at the top of the page to Breathworks' Soundcloud).

This month is dedicated to raising awareness about chronic pain, its impact on individuals and families, and the need for better pain management resources.

Chronic pain affects millions of people worldwide, making it crucial to deepen our understanding and support those who live with it daily. By advocating for effective pain management strategies and supporting ongoing research, we can help improve the quality of life for many.

Organizations like the U.S. Pain Foundation, the International Pain Foundation, and the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) are working tirelessly to spread awareness and provide resources. Let’s join forces to raise our voices and make a difference!

Together, we can promote a better understanding of pain and encourage more compassionate care for those in need. 💪
