Hope In The Face Of (Chronic) Pain My name is Trish. I'm a wife to the most supportive husband in the world and a mom to three growing boys!

I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 2019 after almost ten years of searching for answers. In the beginning my diagnosis felt very much like a life sentence until I was taught more about how chronic pain works and regained a sense of control in my life. Through support from my rheumatologist and the Chronic Pain Self Management Program at Constance Lethbridge; learning how to better manage my stress, learning to manage my emotions and slowly integrating exercise, I've started a lifelong journey of learning and growth. This is not a follow this diet and you'll cure yourself approach. No, the things I learned are all either based in science or are little tips and tricks I've picked up along the way. I'm here to share my knowledge and experiences. I really hope that you find value in this because it was literally a life changing experience for me!
