Hi, I’m FAiZY, and I am ready to share that I’ve been dealing with a digestive disorder that limits what I can eat. Despite my condition, I’m determined to overcome it and get in great shape. #HirschsprungsDisease #DigestiveHealth #WaardenburgSyndrome #StomachProblems #ChronicIllness #GutHealthMatters #LivingWithHirschsprungs #RareDiseaseAwareness #DigestiveDisorders #FeedingTubeAwareness #EatingDisorderRecovery #GastroparesisJourney #GutMotility #GattexJourney #ChronicWarrior #InvisibleDisability #RareButStrong #DigestiveSupport #HealthAdvocacy #OvercomingChallenges
Move through… Move through sadness with laughter Move through anxiety with breath Move through worry with gratitude Move through anger with movement Move through fear with action …or you can choose to simply be. That’s OK too. The secret to making positive shifts to our health is learning to understand how we feel, then choosing to bring conscious awareness to our emotions.  Emotions are temporary biological states—memorized in the nervous system—that are caused by our thoughts & beliefs about our environment. Our thoughts & emotions have the power to: 🔸Influence gene expression—literally turning on or off genes that make us well, and those that make us sick (hello, epigenetics! …for those of you wanting more info on this topic). 🔸Affect our immune system—by turning on or off inflammation. 🔸Alter our microbiome— feel-good emotions support the balance of bacteria that keeps our gut flora in balance, while “negative” or suppressed emotions and experiences can produce an imbalance. By increasing our awareness of our thoughts and learning to gently shift them (when we want to), we can begin to experience emotional states that increase our sense of well-being, both physically & mentally. 🧠Did you know that each of us has 50,000 to 70,000 thoughts per day?! That’s a lot of thoughts to keep track of, but by becoming more aware of even a fraction of these thoughts, we can improve our lives and our health. When we learn to: →tune into our inner dialogue →catch the limiting beliefs + replace them with relevant ones →create a new reality through influencing our emotional experience …we can begin to shift the relationship we have with our thoughts to reduce stress, decrease inflammation, and improve immune regulation. If you’re brand new to brain retraining and don’t know the first place to start, Reset is still on sale for just $7.50 until Jan 8. This is the perfect introduction to brain retraining. 🔗 in my bio!   #NervousSystemRegulation  #ChronicIllnessWarrior  #AnxietyRelief  #MentalHealthMatters #MindBodyHealing #ChronicWarrior #StressManagement  #Neuroplasticity  #MentalWellbeing #HolisticHealth  #AnxietySupport  #StressRelief  #AnxietyWarrior  #mcas   #potssyndrome   #moldillness  #chronicinvisibleillness   #fightflightfreeze  #fightorflight

Breast cancer treatment, including chemo and 15 surgeries, left me with many chronic issues, including POTS, MCAS, and EDS.😐 For the first time in over five years, I have felt “relatively better“ more days than not! 🙌🏻 I say “relatively better,” because having more decent days than bad ones is a huge win! AND there are still tough days & much to figure out & adjust to.  ❤️‍🩹”Well” is all relative! 👉🏻I’m still trying to figure out what has made the difference, but these three things are at the top of the list.  I’ll be sharing more as I continue to figure this all out, as I continue to weed through what works and what doesn’t.  👇🏻But this much I can say:  If you have been dealing with cancer, chronic illness, mental illness, loss, grief, trauma, life,… It’s OK and even a great idea to try and take a break when you can!  It’s OK to not do all the appointments and therapies and treatments.  It’s OK to not think about it.  It’s OK to take a break from processing the emotions of it all.  👉🏻Even if it’s temporary, getting some kind of short break, can make all the difference in long-term healing.  At least that’s what I’m learning. ❤️‍🩹  ❓Questions? What’s made the difference for you? #breastcancerwarrior #chronicwarrior #lifeafterbreastcancer #potssyndrome #mastcellactivationsyndrome #ehlersdanlossyndrome #thisishowwegrow
👉🏻To anyone who’s still getting hammered by physical &/or mental health issues… It’s hard to fully HEAL when things just keep coming.❤️‍🩹 It’s ok to be frustrated, overwhelmed, down, angry or whatever you feel.  One year ago I was right there too.  And today? I’m healING. It’s in progress. And it’s huge to not have NEW challenges, illnesses, surgeries on the horizon.  I’m trying to soak it up while it’s here, because I know challenges will come again.  ❓What have you learned about healing? #breastcancerwarrior #lifeafterbreastcancer #potssyndrome #breastcancerjourney #mastcellactivationsyndrome #chronicwarrior #BreastCancerAwareness #breastcancersurvivor #ehlersdanlossyndrome #surgeries #surgeryrecovery #thisishowwegrow
💕For all struggling through cancer, chronic illness, mental health challenges, loss, trauma, and all things that try to break us… 🙏🏻Please hear me when I say:  Your WORTH does not lie in what you CAN or CANNOT DO.  Oh this has been such a tough lesson for me! Even though as a psychologist I’d long helped clients see this truth, I guess I thought it somehow didn’t apply to me.  I started sharing my journey here because it felt like all I could do to try and serve and contribute.  👉🏻I know now: Even if I didn’t share a thing, I’m still of value.  When I feel weak and UNable and need rest and healing and relief it’s ok to just do my best to survive day by day.  When I have a little more in my tank I can start to think more of others and I can make a difference just through tiny means like: Share my story  Send a love filled text  Call a loved one  Smile at a stranger  Empathize with another who I know is struggling too  Listen  Be there  Just like so many have done and continue to do for me.  We are worthy just because we ARE.  Even with limitations there’s so much good we can bring to this world by sharing our experiences, light, learning, and love… AND by letting others do the same for US.  For all feeling unseen and misunderstood I’m here and I want to know how I can serve you.  Sending love and a smile and prayers to all. ❤️ ❓Have you struggled with this? Tell us about it. What’s helped you? #breastcancerwarrior #lifeafterbreastcancer #chronicwarrior #selfworthjourney #breastcancerjourney #potssyndrome #mastcellactivationsyndrome #ehlersdanlossyndrome #ptsdwarrior #breastcancersurvivor #brcasisterhood #thisishowwegrow

💕Lately I’ve been trying to make some sense of all that’s happened to my body, mind, heart, relationships & spirit these past 5.5 years thanks to breast cancer, 15 surgeries, and all the lasting chronic issues I deal with daily.  I’ve had 2 months of feeling “better” than I had been, relatively speaking, and I needed a BREAK from all the Drs, treatments, therapies, from talking or thinking or dealing with it all. 🤯 So I’ve been away from social media for the past couple months, in addition to cutting out many things I know can trigger my chronic issues & avoiding anything health related as much as I could. 😌 Of course I couldn’t keep it up forever, and this week I’m back to Dr appointments, blood work, new meds, and having to think and feel and deal with it all. 😑 👉🏻It has me wondering “What just HAPPENED these past years?” And who and how am I NOW? Trying to make sense of cancer or mental or chronic illness is tough, because so much is nonsensical. 😵‍💫 👉🏻All I know for sure right now is: I have more good days than I have had in years.  I still have many rough hours or days or even weeks.  I’m not “all better” & I probably won’t ever be.  I am doing all I can to be as healthy as possible.  I needed a break and I’m so glad I’ve had it! My symptoms are telling me I’m still not where I’d like to be, & I know it’s time to dive in and deal with it all again.  I keep moving forward an inch at a time, a snail, day by day, learning a new way to be me. 🐌  It’s a lifelong process I’m only just beginning.  I need and welcome understanding, empathy and support.  I walk this road with so many of you & hope you know you’re not alone. 🫂 That’s what I’m working on. ❤️ ❓How about you?  #breastcancerwarrior #lifeafterbreastcancer #potssyndrome #mastcellactivationsyndrome #chronicwarrior #ehlersdanlossyndrome #breastcancerjourney #breastcancerjourney #BreastCancerAwareness #brca1 #breastcancermentalhealth #chronicillnessmentalhealth #thisishowwegrow

I feel so grateful to have had such a lovely time with all my kids, my parents, brother, and our neighbor & sister missionaries we invited to join us. 🎁🙏🏻🎄 Amazingly, the pain I had in my abdomen last weekend is completely gone!😀👏🏻 And I felt well!🤗🙏🏻 Today is 1 year since my last, my 15th, surgery, and I have come such a long way! 💕 It amazes me how the body can recover, compensate, grow in completely new ways, be strengthened, and heal. ❤️‍🩹 I have a long way to go still, & my chronic illnesses are still a daily challenge.  But I’m so grateful for where I am now. 🙏🏻 And for the fact that no new surgeries are on the horizon, and I’m no evidence of breast cancer too! 🤩😅 I may be down today after all the fun & festivities, and man I can barely move! 😅 But it’s all so worth it.  Christmas is truly a season of hope, peace, and LOVE. 🎄 I hope you have been able to feel some of these too. 💕 And that we keep it going into 2025!😍 (pics with my hubs OJ, kids Braxton, Tre & Nadja, Colton & Rae’lynn, Brody, Kennedy & Sydney, mom and dad, brother Carter, & Sister Roberts & Sister Price) ❓What are you feeling today? How has your body amazed you? What are you hoping for into the new year?  #christmasmiracles #breastcancerwarrior #chronicwarrior #thisishowwegrow
