Self Advocacy Powers Activate! - If I Could Do Anything As A Health Activist (HAWMC Day 5)

What would I do and how far would I go for raising awareness if I wasn't limited by my physical conditions or money?  Well, probably a lot and get pretty far doing it.  I have many great ideas in my head and a wonderful purpose to achieve them all.  My most recent idea would be to start a non-profit organization here in my state of Virginia that would focus on women and families that live a life affected by chronic migraine, migraine disease, mental illness and other chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia, CFS, and myofacial pain syndrome.  I would want to bring attention to the lack of affordable and attainable health care, resources, and access to complementary, holistic, and alternative medicines.  It's extremely important to treat the whole body and not having the right to see specialists in all areas of health care is a huge part as to why so many of us suffer so much.  There's only so much you can achieve when given so little to choose from.  I want to be able to change that for everyone who suffers from chronic pain.  No one should have to endure the stress of not being allowed to see a specialist who can present treatment options that can actually help them.  Nutrition should be an automatic part of healing any disease, illness or condition.  Mental health support that is geared toward chronic pain patients and their families should be openly available on a non-judgemental basis to help provide the tools needed to cope with this new life.  It would be a blessing if I can get this dream realized and eventually make it so that everyone in this country has these benefits.
