How I Beat: Fibromyalgia

About this episode

Lisa shares her journey of overcoming fibromyalgia after years of suffering.

Ten years ago, teacher and artist Lisa was depressed, housebound, in constant pain and could only get up the stairs by crawling. She'd just been given a diagnosis of fibromyalgia—after suffering on-and-off with aches and pains, severe fatigue and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) for nearly two decades—and was told by her doctor that she'd only get worse.
