Today we have the wonderful James on this weeks episode of The Real Life Show: Living with a Chronic Illness. James’ chronic pain and chronic illness journey began about four years ago when he injured his back and herniated two discs in his spine. As a result, he developed sciatica and shortly after saw a spine surgeon who did some scans that showed that one of the herniated discs was completely cutting off one of his nerves. James dives into the unforeseen stress that came after the success of the surgery. James had no idea what a chronic illness was, or that his life was going in that direction at all. James describes his worsening symptoms and the many tests he did and specialists he saw to get the answers and relief he so desperately needed. Eventually James found out he had Fibromyalgia. He explains in great detail all that he learned about the disorder and what he’s doing now on social media to advocate for himself and others. This was a wild ride of an episode with lots of real life moments like earthquakes, dogs, and other fun tangents!
