about me

In 2005 I started jasmine's cove to record my experiences living with chronic migraine, fibromyalgia, multiple chemical sensitivity, and more. Today, I'm choosing to focus on health instead of illness.

I no longer consider myself as having Vertigo, FM/CFS or MCS - even PMS symptoms have calmed down. But I know if I were to repeat old patterns (eating poorly, sedentary lifestyle, negative thinking, and focusing on my pain and what I can’t do), that those symptoms can and will creep back into my life.

Following an Ayurvedic diet of organic, whole foods, meditating, juicing and detoxing seasonally, exercising through yoga and P90X, using Gupta's Amygdala Retraining Program (learning how to stop negative thoughts, lessen anxiety and stop resisting pain), finding the right doctors who understand drugs are not the answer for me (special thanks to Dr. Debby at the Vision Specialists of Michigan for correcting the vision issues others missed), and continuing to decipher why my health spiraled so out of control in the hopes of helping others…all of these things bring me so much more joy and purpose. I’ve never been more confident either.

I hope my persistence will inspire others to change, to not give up, to not rely on what their doctors tell them (especially those who have given up on you), and to live the life they were meant to live. The experiences I share should never be taken as medical advice.

If you have a comment or question, please write me @ jasminescove(at)gmail.com.
