- For years, Bella was told she was lying. Doctors, strangers, friends: each of them dismissed her chronic pain as imagined and manufactured. After a slew of failed remedies and social isolation, Bella found answers in a long-awaited diagnosis: Amplified Pain Syndrome. Following her diagnosis, Bella faced the challenge of an intensive rehabilitation program. As the story of her weeks in therapy unfolds, Bella takes us along her journey of reconstruction and encourages us to face our own challenges. In each of our battles, she asks us to remember that in order to heal, you must accept where you are, give yourself a chance, and find support in your people. And bet on yourself, always. Bella is a senior at Austin College, majoring in Latin American Studies and double minoring in International Relations and History. Struggling with countless auto-immune diagnoses, Bella was diagnosed with Amplified Pain Syndrome at the age of eighteen. In the summer of 2019, Bella had the opportunity to go to the Rehabilitation of Amplified Pain Syndrome, a six-week intensive program that allowed Bella to live a normal life without the daily disturbances of pain. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
This is so wonderful. Thank you for bringing light to an extremely unseen illness. Thank you.
This was such a beautiful and VERY HARD talk to hear. YOU ARE AMAZING. I will be watching this TED talk again and again... ACCEPT WHERE YOU ARE....GIVE YOURSELF A CHANCE. I will repeat over and over again in my head JUST DO YOUR BEST AND TAKE THE CHANCE. Thank you so much LOVE AND LIGHT 💕🕯️💗
I am undiagnosed but I’m pretty sure I have AMPS. I got no progress for years, until I decided to overload my body with pain without any breaks, or as little of a “break” as I could. I realized those breaks were actually points of failure. I just started working myself to failure every day, in every way. It’s getter better and easier and faster to get through pain.
It sounds like you're on the journey to healing, I encourage you to keep going. It'll be difficult, but worth it

NHI MOM SLAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
There’s no feeling like finishing a book, and I’m proud of this one. I’ve spent the last few years reflecting on my presidency, and in A Promised Land I’ve tried to provide an honest accounting of my presidential campaign and my time in office: the key events and people who shaped it, my take on what I got right and the mistakes I made, and the political, economic, and cultural forces that my team and I had to confront then--and that as a nation we are grappling with still. In the book, I’ve also tried to give readers a sense of the personal journey that Michelle and I went through during those years, with all the incredible highs and lows. ─BARACK OBAMA
Finally, at a time when America is going through such enormous upheaval, the book offers some of my broader thoughts on how we can heal the divisions in our country going forward and make our democracy work for everybody--a task that won’t depend on any single president, but on all of us as engaged citizens.─ -
does anybody have a contact information for the hospital?
Where does one find a doctor who can diagnose this?
a smart one. go to children hospital 17:57
Along with being a fun and informative read, I hope more than anything that the book inspires young people across the country--and around the globe--to take up the baton, lift up their voices, and play their part in remaking the world for the better.─ *Barack Obama*
Journey 🤔
So I guess pain medicine doesn’t help you at all huh?
This program, whether you improved or not, was structured very dangerously-no actual medical professional should ever push the body in that way. Pacing is extremely important, and so is pain medicine.
Listening to someone talk about how special they are for drinking the “not trying hard enough theory of disability” koolaid is not inspiring.
As someone who went through the same program, it was very structured and we were checked by doctors daily.
@@ajp7567hi my daughter has amps do you have contact info pls for the hospital?
