In this episode 'Quieting The Pain', Amanda shares her personal journey with fibromyalgia, a chronic neurological pain condition. She describes the long and often frustrating process of getting diagnosed, the impact of the illness on her career as a care assistant, and the emotional toll of having to let go of her previous life plans.
Amanda discusses the unpredictable nature of fibromyalgia, the wide range of symptoms, and the challenges of living with an invisible illness that is often misunderstood by others. The conversation highlights Amanda’s transition from relying solely on medication to embracing holistic approaches, such as mindfulness and cognitive behavioural therapy, to better manage her symptoms. She emphasises the importance of self-care, learning to prioritise her own needs, and the value of supportive communities and peer groups. Amanda also talks about her book, "How I Became a Butterfly," which combines her story with practical self-help tools for others facing similar challenges.
Throughout the episode, Amanda’s resilience and honesty shine through as she encourages listeners to practice self-care, seek support, and remember that while chronic illness can be life-altering, it is possible to find new purpose and fulfilment.
