74 - Vicky Henderson - How getting fibromyalgia led me to self development which then led to a full recovery from my chronic pain, depression and subsequently a new career path.

Vicky Henderson was living in the French Alps, doing a lot of outdoor activities such as skiing and getting out and about enjoying the countryside despite having been medicated for depression her whole adult life.

One day she was in what she describes as a very minor car accident. About 3 weeks later she woke up one morning and realised she couldn’t stand up.

Luckily her parents were close by to take her to the doctor. Thankfully the doctor recognised that Vicky probably had Fibromyalgia and was able to prescribe suitable medication sooner than later.  

She was bedridden for a month, all her limb hurt, her ears and eyes even hurt, it was an absolutely horrific situation as she couldn’t sleep. Determined not to give up after a period of trying to rest she tried to go back to work. Thankfully her employers let her go part time, she would work in the morning then sleep all afternoon, sometimes being so exhausted that she even had to sleep in her car in the town centre after work before driving home.  She had to earn money so she had no choice.

When she moved back to the UK she managed to secure a job in the hotel industry but the pressure of dealing with her condition and everything else resulted in a nervous breakdown. Another blow and set back.

A consultant in Bath explained to Vicky that the only way she was going to feel any better was to lose weight, change her diet and sort her head out.  No small challenge. Vicky thought it would be easiest to start with her diet and so began her journey to recovery, her diet endeavours leading her into the world of self development. Watch to hear how Vicky turned things around and how unexpectedly when she embarked on a three day course to try and sort there was a chain reaction of events which also led her to rid herself of the crippling pain of her fibromyalgia.  Vicky now coaches others to do the same.
