About Charzie

 I’m not quite sure where to start. The journey I have been on has taken up at least a good 30 years of my life but the worst has been the past 10-12.

I am a normal person no different then yourself, who was tired of being told that there was nothing I could do, that my Chronic Vestibular Headaches would take me to a Mental Institution eventually… and to accept my fate.

Oh right, sorry, I should have started off with I am a Chronic Headache Patient (who is not very patient waiting to find a better quality of life..so I took matters into my own hands).

I am the type of person who knows there must be another way, there is always some sort of solution or at least a better quality of life available. I enjoy many activities, such as  sports, outdoor activities, house repairs, building anything, crafts, household activities such as baking…(eating lol), watching movies and spending time with my family. I love hobbies such as knitting, sewing, search a words, and ohh yes I LOVE TO READ!! I hope I haven’t lost you yet. I am truly a chronic reader who loves to research… read, read, read!

So when my Headaches grew to Migraines which grew to Vascular Migraines from HELL, and I couldn’t do what I loved anymore, I knew my life had to change in the fastest way and IMMEDIATELY!

I have always had headaches. I have always chased the Advil and Tylenol bottle around my house. They probably should have been my bridesmaids at my wedding that’s how close my relationship was with Ibuprofen,  Acetaminophen and lastly Codeine.

                                                There is a better way!

 A life that frees you from those dang childproof hellish caps when you are puking your guts up on the bathroom floor looking for relief…(I understand why there are child proof caps and completely support them but ask me that question again when I’m in the middle of the above episode and I may say something different).

I am in the process of finding a new life away from the pain and misery, illness and nausea… and my findings… I want to pass on, because I know there are hundreds, thousands, millions who suffer from headaches and I can help you no matter your pain scale, if you are ready to try.

This is coming from a sufferer who literally used to feel like my brain was being used as turkey roll, being shaved through the meat slicer onto a little piece of parchment paper, or that the crown of my head had been peeled off and the top of my brain was being lit on fire or used as a cooler for beer with melting ice trickling through the membranes of my brain and out my nose. There where many episodes of feeling that there must be some hellion from outerspace who was shooting massive steel spears through the right upper quadrant of my head out my nasal passages… (I’m sure not all life forms from outerspace are cruel) and that was a good day. Never mind constantly throwing up or nausea attacking me from the corners of my house as I was just trying to walk down the hallway, or fold up a load of laundry. The car sick feeling 24/7 was a feeling you had to learn to live with, day in and day out, just like an emotion, no different then anger or fear or happiness etc.

Being sick was a good day…suffering so intensely from pain in your head that you could not listen to your child speak well that was definitely a bad day, a painful day and a day I wish never to see again. And believe me you don’t have to… I promise you there is hope, there is relief, there is family and friends again returning into your life, there is life beyond that dark, cold, scary bedroom door.

                                                    Let me help you get there!

 So in conclusion I guess you could say I am a person who just wanted to live again and these blogs are about how I did it and I want to share them and all my information that has abled me to look at this computer screen again…with you.

Please follow me on my new journey, which is not about suffering anymore, its about helping others live life again too. I hope it is informative and helpful and I hope I can help you live, love and laugh again. For after all…laughter is the best medicine.

UPDATE:
For all of these reasons above, I chose to pursue more education into alternative, science based medicines and fell in love with homeopathy.  I have become a certified holistic nutritionist, holistic health and wellness coach, Homeopath, and Reiki Master/Teacher.  I am proud to say I have been able to come off all my medications from 15 years ago, implementing natural remedies.  I am now able to live a pain-free life and help others to achieve their health goals and be a partner on their healing journeys. Guiding and educating my patients now, has become a rewarding part of my day.
