Peace Within

Peace Within: A Journey through Chronic Illness and Finding Peace within the Pain is a riveting story based on the author's personal experience with slowly having her life turned upside down by an onslaught of debilitating symptoms that started in 2010, which she was later to be diagnosed with having dysautonomia/postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, fibromyalgia, generalized hypermobility disorder, chronic back and hip pain, and migraines on a daily basis.As the months went by, Heather would go from feeling like a normal and healthy thirty-four-year-old woman to having to call out from work for being sick with her symptoms or going to doctor's appointments. She started feeling hopeless when doctor after doctor could not find the cause of all these symptoms. She was told this was only anxiety and depression. Throughout this battle, she was a full-time employee in the medical field, a mother to two young children, and a wife in a failing marriage.She tells her story of losing her job and finances/credit, and her health felt like it was slipping away. Her emotional, physical, and spiritual pain was put to the ultimate test. She is jolted back to the foundation of her strength, her healing, and peace within through her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, before it was too late...but right on time. Heather remembers that with God all things are possible! Her healing and her peace within were already there; all she had to do was ask for them and receive them.2
