S3 Ep33: The Neuroscience of Chronic Pain: POTS, Interstitial Cystitis, Fibro, CFS and more with Gigi

<div>Gigi is a brilliant TMS mind who lived through 10 years of chronic illness with no idea what was wrong with her. Diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome at the age of 14, it never made sense to Gigi that her myriad symptoms were always being blamed on this one genetic anomaly. As she grew, so did her symptoms. She was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, POTS, and others. Her worst symptoms of all were bladder pain and urgency, leading to a diagnosis of Interstitial Cystitis and eventually leaving her bedridden at the age of 21. Luckily, Gigi's mother and best advocate found my podcast in a late night desperate search, and that's where the magic begins! Gigi has her Master's in Biology from Oxford, and we do a wonderful deep dive into what it means to struggle against new ideas when we are so imbued in the Western Medical Model and what it means to heal incredibly once those new ideas are embraced. SO MUCH GOOD STUFF HERE! Join us.
