Over the past 14+ years, Barby has been living 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 60 medical procedures requiring twilight sedation or stronger, 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.
