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
