This isn’t a story about suffering. This is a story about fighting back.

For over five decades, chronic pain has been my reality—Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, and more dislocations than most doctors will see in a lifetime.

• 343,000 full dislocations.
• 2.92 million subluxations.

Every step, every movement, a gamble. Doctors handed me opiates at just seven years old, setting me on a path of dependency that nearly killed me. By 2019, opioid toxicity and withdrawal almost took my life.

But I didn’t surrender. I went to war.

This episode is about resilience, relentless pain management, transforming adversity into strength and Ultra-Endurance.

I’ll take you through the 256 days of hell it took to break free from opioids, the advanced pain management techniques that rebuilt me, and how I turned from a wheelchair user into an ultra-endurance cyclist.

🚀 From Snowdon climbs in my wheelchair to 100+ mile bike rides, this is how I defied every medical expectation.

🔥 Pain didn’t stop me. It became my training ground.
