Skin diseases are ranked the fourth most common cause of human illness worldwide, resulting in an enormous global health burden. Some believe the problem may be even more widespread, because many affected people do not consult a healthcare provider for treatment and their cases are therefore unreported and not included in statistics.

About three years ago, I developed severe fatigue and joint pain. I wasn't sure what was going on - I thought maybe I'd just been working too much, working out too hard, and was too stressed out.

It was a sunny day, and I looked out of the classroom window and suddenly, a strange visual disturbance began. It was as is if someone had taken my picture with a flash camera – you know those squiggly, flashing lines you sometimes see after someone takes your photo? It was like that, and it lasted about 30 minutes. After it disappeared, I was slammed with round two: the worst headache of my life. I thought I had a brain tumor or some other devastating disease. I called my doctor, and he was able to see…

Suffering from chronic pain, inflammation, and fatigue is no way to live. It can make even the most simple day-to-day tasks become an agonizing experience. The pain-free life you once knew feels like a distant memory. You wonder if you will ever feel normal again. I know, because I experienced it first hand. I'm sharing my personal story in the hopes that my experience may help those of you (or your loved ones) who are suffering find a solution. *** Prior to 2012, the only ailment I had was occasional migraines.
