Why I Created This Blog

After years of navigating invisible chronic pain, countless misdiagnoses, and the overwhelming feeling of being unheard by both doctors and the people around me, I realized I needed a space to be completely honest. A space where I could not only process my own journey but offer something meaningful to others walking a similar path. Notes from the Body was born from that need — a place to make sense of the pain that doesn’t always show on the outside but affects every part of your life.

Here, I write openly about what I’ve learned through living with central sensitization and nervous system dysregulation, and how these often-overlooked conditions impact both body and mind. I explore the emotional toll of chronic pain — the fear, the grief, the shame — and also the moments of insight and progress that gave me hope again.

This blog is both a personal diary and a supportive resource. You’ll find honest stories, gentle tools that have helped me calm my nervous system, and small, hard-earned victories that remind me — and hopefully you — that healing is possible. Most of all, I hope this space helps you feel seen, understood, and a little less alone.
