Podcasts about dry eyes

Agnes' first symptom was years of back pain after a horseback riding incident. It was then that she stumbled upon this podcast, but she was not yet ready to embrace the paradigm of MindBody medicine. Then came the most unsettling diagnosis - Dry Eye. It may sounds innocuous, but Agnes was in 24 hour pain and discomfort. She could no longer wear the contact lenses she had used without incident for eighteen years, and she was advised that makeup was also forbidden. Agnes' doctor went as far as to tell her that she would most certainly be suffering for a lifetime, and things would only get worse. It wasn't until he advised her to stop breastfeeding to allow for daily use of steroid eye drops that Agnes put her foot down. As I say in my story: "Mess with me, but don't mess with my kids!" This led Agnes back to my work and pod, and wait until you hear how it went. Join us for a conversation that will give you confidence, hope, and the will to do this work for yourself. With love, n.
