CIRS, or Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome, is a complicated illness, so we understand you probably have lots of questions! This week, we had a LIVE AMA (ask us anything!) all about CIRS. We got some great questions, spanning everything from binders to remediation, from trigeminal neuralgia to spondyloarthropathy (say those illnesses three times fast). We hope you get a lot out of this one, and we look forward to the next! For more information, support, and resources in your own CIRS healing journey, visit TheCIRSGroup.com
