When Monique Gibson first entered her twenties, she had big plans, adventures to go on, things to do, careers to build. The world had a very different plan. It all started very slowly, a weird symptom here and there, dizzy spells, exhaustion, belly aches. Over a course of 6 months, her body started to deteriorate so quickly she was concerned it was a degenerative condition like MS or MND, she even wondered if she might actually be dying.  Things worsened and her symptoms included: muscle paralysis, muscle spasms, body freezes, extreme fatigue, muscle weakness, speech difficulties, severe fragrance and chemical sensitivity, severe digestive issues, blackouts/fainting spells She couldn't work for 12 months, couldn't eat, was losing weight, and her muscles were spasming 24/7. All the doctors would tell her it was stress, and there was nothing they could do for me. That I just was not trying hard enough to get better. This was a very lonely journey, in many ways it was heartbreaking. Join us to find out how Monique began her journey of recovery, and actual diagnosis, and the discovery of some major locked away trauma!!
