I chose nutrition and wellness due to a mentally abusive marriage, and I saw firsthand how it affected my health. My nervous system began to decline. Every day, I struggled to hold objects in my hands. I broke countless drinking glasses. The pain in my right arm was so intense that I spent hundreds of dollars on therapy sessions, which provided some relief. My hand also throbbed constantly. I received cortisone shots twice and was misdiagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome. While the injections eased the pain temporarily, it eventually returned. When my menstrual cycle stopped permanently due to menopause, I suddenly began bleeding again. I was terrified, thinking it could be cancer. Thankfully, the pelvic exam results were negative. But the experience shook me.
