If you could send a message to your younger self, what would it say?

Imagine if you could turn back the clock and offer guidance to your younger self, the person who first embarked on this journey with AxSpa.

We invite you to share your wisdom, insights, and heartfelt messages to your younger selves. What advice would you give? What encouragement would you offer? Whether it's about managing symptoms, coping strategies, or simply words of comfort, your message could resonate deeply with someone else facing similar struggles today.

  1. I would echo the people saying “you are not a hypochondriac, you just haven’t been diagnosed correctly yet”. I literally had a couple of people ask others if I was a hypochondriac, and you start to doubt yourself. “Is my brain making this crap up”?

    1. - Self-doubt can be heavy to carry. Sounds like you were able to turn the self-doubt into self-love and move forward toward diagnosis and treatment. Warmly - Rebecca (team member)

  2. Don't put your money into the stock market, put it into muscle cars of the 60's, and 70's.

  3. I would said buckle up buttercup cause you are going for a ride. Then I would tell her she’s not a hypochondriac like everyone says. Then tell her to get to doctors until u find out what’s wrong. And take care of ur body in the mean time.

      Good advice, we appreciate you sharing.
      It sounds like it been a challenging "ride".

  4. I would tell myself, enjoy the body you have now, because in 10 years, you wont recognise the person you are. Play all the sport, recover well, eat well and dont have a regret that you could have achieved something had it ot been for this horrible thing that will change your life forever

    1. - Great advice to your younger self - enjoy and cherish life and appreciate every moment in the present. Thanks for sharing. Rebecca (team member)
