This isn’t a story about suffering. This is a story about fighting back.
For over five decades, chronic pain has been my reality—Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, and more dislocations than most doctors will see in a lifetime.
- 343,000 full dislocations.
- 2.92 million subluxations.
Every step, every movement, a gamble. Doctors handed me opiates at just seven years old, setting me on a path of dependency that nearly killed me. By 2019, opioid toxicity and withdrawal almost took my life.
But I didn’t surrender. I went to war.
This episode is about resilience, relentless pain management, transforming adversity into strength and Ultra-Endurance.
I’ll take you through the 256 days of hell it took to break free from opioids, the advanced pain management techniques that rebuilt me, and how I turned from a wheelchair user into an ultra-endurance cyclist.
🚀 From Snowdon climbs in my wheelchair to 100+ mile bike rides, this is how I defied every medical expectation.
🔥 Pain didn’t stop me. It became my training ground.
