    Matt is 45 at the time of this recording and had symptoms of one degree or another since he was around 10-12 years old. Symptoms were very bad when he was first diagnosed with AS at 27. He was working in a high-stress corporate sales job, drinking too much and taking lots of over-the-counter medication to soothe symptoms. Matt had a lot of difficulty sleeping and started having flares so bad he could barely walk to and from his car.

    Matt grew up in a small city of around 10,000 people in rural Minnesota in the US. He was raised in a religious fundamentalist Evangelical household with his four younger sisters. His parents worked working-class jobs and were very active in church. Although he went to college for a couple of years in Wyoming, he didn’t leave his hometown until he graduated from college at 25. He graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Business Management and moved to Minneapolis where he worked in several different corporate positions. He became very disillusioned with the business world so went back to school for Paralegal.

    He met his wife around that time and was married and had a son within a few years of dating.

    He currently lives in Tumwater Washington and works in the state government as a Public Records Officer.

    Craig is 37 years old and grew up on a farm in South Dakota. He always had big dreams and high anxiety. He was brought up in a stable family, his parents are still together and his mother and father both had anxiety and he now realizes how much that imprinted on him.

    He dropped out of law school to be a comedian at age 23 and did some shows, but by then he was 5 years into a pretty heavy alcohol addiction to cope with panic attacks. He worked odd jobs, until he was 28 years old, at which point he had a mental breakdown and quit alcohol.

    He always had aches and pains, injuries that lasted all summer, foot issues, etc. He never took care of the mental aspect after getting sober, and then the stress of 2020 spring at age 34, the pandemic kicked things into overdrive, suddenly his leg and S.I. joint were constantly inflamed to the point of not sleeping, not being able to walk. Went to dozens of doctors, orthopaedics, brain and spine doctors, and finally, he was the one who suggested an HLA-B27 test. Then finally after waiting..in Feb 2022 his rheumatologist told him biologics are the answer since he had tried NSAIDs for so long, and that he would have this for life. He didn't accept this, and that’s when he started searching (meat-only diet, CBD oil, and seed gut protocols, stretching, special hip apparatuses for relieving muscle tension, and massages.

    For his career, he does freelance drone photography, auctioneering, and cattle farming with his dad.

    Sonia Green. Overcoming Chronic Pain. Surviving and moving past people pleasing.

    Sonia is 40 years old. She grew up in the suburbs of Richmond Virginia with her older brother and parents until she was 12. Her father suffered from horrible depression for four years before her parents divorced. She went to live with her father after he recovered. She got pregnant and married at the age of 20. They have two kids. She was a stay-at-home mom and then went to work in her husband's family business. That's when the pain started. Once she learned the biopsychosocial model of pain, she became a personal trainer to help others get out of pain. After the pain left, she fell into a depression coupled with anxiety. That's when she joined Ralph's book discussion group. She decided to compete in kettlebell sport and embrace life on her terms.

    Ralph Ruiz. Second Conversation. Master Life Coach. AS diagnosed. Pain Free and has guided many to a pain free life.

    He is among the first to consciously break past chronic pain and the sticky identification with this so-called "incurable" diagnosis of AS. He is a pioneer in true healing from autoimmune conditions, chronic pain, and other physical, mental/emotional, and spiritual imbalances. It was an honor.

    Deena Cuda - Fibromyalgia, Cancer, Opiate Addiction, Integrating Unresolved Emotion, Off All Medication.

    Deena Cuda - Fibromyalgia, Cancer, Opiate Addiction, Integrating Unresolved Emotion, Off All Medication.

    Bio

    Deena grew up in Pennsylvania USA with her parents and sister. She doesn’t have a lot of childhood memories but remembers always being told she was too sensitive, especially by her mother. Her dad was an alcoholic and her parents fought terribly for the first 4 years of her life. She was bullied a lot  in school and found refuge in the art room. She went to college for two years but didn’t earn a degree. She worked in retail and has held jobs as a secretary, a volunteer at a domestic violence shelter and a dental assistant— She is now a sterile processing tech for a medical clinic. She was married and divorced twice. She has a son and two daughters, all grown. She now lives with her partner Larry in Ogden, UT.

    Pain and fatigue prevented her from enjoying most things. She quit crafting and watched a lot of tv instead. She was in bed often and I couldn’t be the energetic and fun mom that she used to be. She always worked part-time as a stay at home mom, but after being fired from a call center for too many sick days, she applied for and was awarded social security disability benefits. Fibromyalgia took everything that she once was. It took her vibrancy, her energy, her social life, her mental health, and her physical abilities. However, she is doing much much better now.

    Topics

    1. Crystal healing

    2. Reiki — She is a certified crystal reiki master practitioner, and reiki is wonderful for managing stress and calming the mind.

    3. Astrology— you’d be surprised how much she has learned about my emotions by studying her birth chart!)

    4. Rage writing

    5. Meditation practice

    Influences

    1. Heather Peterson at Pain Free For Good! She was her mind-body coach and really helped her understand TMS and the tools to heal it.

    2. Byron Katie’s book “Loving What Is”:

    This book changed her whole perspective on life!

Gives Me Hope

There isn’t much support for this disease. I was feeling hopeless until, I started listening. Thank you.

Rrakusin ,

Thank you!

Love this podcast! I’ve already started to change my perspective on AS. Do you know about June Stein? She healed herself of AS through yoga. I’d love to hear her story, too! There is a video on YouTube about her.
