EP9 - Working Through the Pain — Finding Purpose in the Uncertainty
<p>In Episode 9 of Pain. Full. Truth., I talk about what it really means to start working again while living with <strong>Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)</strong>.</p><p>The <strong>DRG trial has been postponed</strong> until the end of October, but life didn’t wait. A new job brought purpose and pride — and a whole new kind of pressure. I share what it’s like trying to balance meetings around medication, smiling through flare-ups, and dealing with the quiet guilt of looking “better” while still fighting the same invisible battle every day.</p><p>This episode also opens up about the <strong>financial realities</strong> of returning to work, the way people’s perceptions change, and how stepping back from streaming has left a quiet gap that I’m still learning how to fill.</p><p>It’s honest, raw, and real — because sometimes progress doesn’t look like healing… it just looks like <strong>showing up</strong>.</p><p>💙 Support the show: <a href="https://ko-fi.com/painfulltruthpod" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://ko-fi.com/painfulltruthpod</a></p><p></p>

EP8 - When the Pain Doesn’t End — Holding It Together
<p>In Episode 8 of Pain. Full. Truth., I open up about the reality of living with <strong>Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)</strong> when every day feels like a test of endurance.</p><p>This episode is about the quiet moments most people never see — the exhaustion, the frustration, the pressure to keep things normal for my family, and the guilt that creeps in when I can’t. I talk about the balance between wanting to do more and knowing that doing more will cost me days of recovery afterwards.</p><p>I also share how I’m trying to hold everything together while waiting for the next stage of treatment, managing medication, and finding small moments of control in a life that feels anything but predictable.</p><p>This isn’t just about pain — it’s about persistence, family, and finding strength when you’ve got nothing left in the tank.</p><p>💙 Support the show: <a href="https://ko-fi.com/painfulltruthpod" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://ko-fi.com/painfulltruthpod</a></p><p></p>

EP7 - Proving Pain & Surviving the Benefits System
<p>In Episode 7 of Pain. Full. Truth., I open up about the other trial I face — not in a hospital, but in front of the benefits system. Living with <strong>Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)</strong> means constant pain, but it also means constantly proving that pain to strangers.</p><p>I talk about the endless paperwork, the tick-box questions that never capture reality, and the assessments that make you feel like you’re on trial for your own life. I share how this process chips away at your pride, affects your mental health, and ripples through your family.</p><p>This episode also looks ahead to what comes next — my two-week Pain Management course at Guy’s & St Thomas’, the build-up to the <strong>DRG stimulation trial</strong>, and the uncertainty of knowing my future depends on a 50% pain reduction target.</p><p>If you’ve ever battled the benefits system, doubted yourself while filling in forms, or felt invisible in your own pain — this one’s for you.</p><p>💙 Support the show: <a href="https://ko-fi.com/painfulltruthpod" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://ko-fi.com/painfulltruthpod</a></p><p></p>
