What was meant to be a light 1-mile walk to see a waterfall during a recent business trip turned into a 4-mile uphill trek on uneven ground—and my body felt every bit of it.
For most, that sounds like “great exercise with a beautiful view.” For me, living with Chiari Malformation & CCI, it flipped my body upside down: Inside vibrating, vision distorted, balance tilted, vertigo looming
Grateful beyond words that my husband was there to guide me back safely. As soon as we returned, I got on the one tool I never travel without…my BEMER. A special 20-minute program helped shift me out of fight-or-flight and into parasympathetic calm. By the time I stood up, I felt like I was standing on solid ground again.
This is life with an unseen condition: the ordinary can quickly become extraordinary in ways most don’t see. With awareness, tools, and support, we can find our way back to center.
