I talk with Corrie Broughton, of corriebroughton.com, who shares her “saga” of a lifetime of health struggles that became progressively worse, and involved a cluster of symptoms, including unexplainable pain in her arms and legs, severe ringing in the ears, bloating, pain in her veins, panic attacks, sores on her arms and legs, and even losing her ability to read! Corrie went through the gamut of specialists seeking answers to her mystery ailments, including her primary care doctor, a rheumatologist, cardiologist, dermatologist, otolaryngologist (ear-nose-throat), and gastroenterologist. At some points along the way she was made to feel that she was creating these symptoms in her head, and one doctor even suggested that what she really needed was to be taking anti-depressants! Eventually, Corrie received diagnoses of FIVE different autoimmune conditions, including Hashimoto’s, interstitial cystitis, vasculitis, Sjogren’s Syndrome, and gluten sensitivity. She was offered the standard treatment from all of the specialists she saw, “There’s nothing you can do to reverse this condition. You’ll just have to treat the symptoms with this medication for the rest of your life.” Corrie was determined that her life didn’t have to be filled with such misery and became hell-bent on finding solutions. After doing some functional lab testing, she discovered some hidden causes of dysfunction at the root of her conditions, including food she was eating every day. Corrie also altered her way of being to include more self-love and self-care and has been able to find a beautiful life on the other side of all the suffering. If you are interested in learning more about Corrie, and the work she does with women to help them find their own identity with her life coaching.
