Turning Pain to POWER!

Over the past 10+ years, Barby was confronted with the unimaginable diagnosis of Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy she was put through many challenges. Undergoing a battery of tests and being seen by over 100 different healthcare providers, undergoing seven unnecessary major surgeries and over 40 medical procedures requiring twilight sedation, Ms. Ingle learned to take a proactive approach to her medical care, an empowering step that helped in her health journey. But while the journey was far from perfect – she lost her lifetime profession, ending up on welfare for a time, upset at the lack of understanding from healthcare professionals and insurance companies – Ms. Ingle quickly learned there is a lot of good that comes from this type of challenging experience. She began sharing tips on how to lend helpful support to someone you know or even yourself as a patient who’s fighting a chronic pain condition or illness. Barby demonstrates how to enjoy life to the fullest, expressing appreciation to those who helped her along the way.
