Beating Fibromyalgia and Healing Yourself before Moving Forward with Fran Garton

Kintsugi Heroes: Uncovering our Hidden Value

Fran Garton’s story is about how she overcame severe fibromyalgia which was undiagnosed for many years. She describes the long pain-filled path through the medical system while she tried to maintain her work and family life until she finally found someone who knew what was wrong.

She was told ‘You are a plant with no soil. You're literally just pouring the water in and it's just coming out the bottom of the pot, because there's no soil in there, nothing is being absorbed and you have so much inflammation throughout your body, that your body can't do anything with what you're giving it, even if you give it good food.’

After learning how to heal her body, her emotional and trauma issues and manage the occasional fibromyalgia flare-ups she now helps others. ‘I say to everybody, it takes time.’

‘You have to heal yourself. Until you heal yourself and deal with all of that you can't move forward, you're holding on to something in the past. You can't change the past, why don't you deal with the effects that it had on you so that you can move forward in your life?’
