2024-03-27

In 2018, Valerie Anne achieved complete recovery from a range of mental illnesses that had affected her for over 40 years, including schizoaffective disorder, anorexia (with a critically low BMI of 11), depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), self-harming behavior, and trichotillomania. Her path to wellness didn't stop with her mental health; Valerie also overcame numerous physical ailments that included osteoporosis, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, hypothyroidism, irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), vaginal atrophy, vulvodynia, interstitial cystitis (IC), overactive bladder (OAB), oxalate toxicity, five fractures accompanied by chronic bone pain, dangerously low cholesterol levels (below 90), hypotension with blood pressure readings as low as 70/50, hormone deficiency, anemia, dermatitis, and sarcopenia. Impressively, after her mental health recovery in the second year, she achieved a permanent muscle gain of 45 pounds, highlighting her incredible resilience and determination to reclaim her health and vitality.
