Abaningi bethu bake babhekana nokulimala okubuhlungu noma ukugula ngesinye isikhathi ezimpilweni zabo - abanye babi kakhulu kunabanye. Kepha kuChristine Spencer, oneminyaka engama-30 waseCollingswood, NJ, obhekene nobuhlungu obunzima yinto ekhona njalo yokuphila.

U-Spencer watholakala eneminyaka engu-13 ene-Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), isifo esiwohlozayo sezicubu ezixhumeneyo esihlobene ne-fibromyalgia. Kubangela ukuhamba kwe-hyper, ukungezwani kwemisipha, ubuhlungu obungapheli, futhi kwezinye izimo, ukufa.

Lapho izimpawu zakhe ziba zimbi kakhulu futhi zimenza ahoxe ekolishi, odokotela bambhalela incwadi kadokotela ukuze athole icocktail yemithi, kuhlanganise namaphilisi ezinhlungu. "Le bekungukuphela kwendlela imithi yasentshonalanga eyazi ngayo ukubhekana nezifo," kusho uSpencer. "Ngenze ukwelashwa ngokomzimba, kodwa akekho owanginikeza uhlelo lwesikhathi eside ukungisiza ngilaphe." Kwaphela izinyanga, elele embhedeni ngokuphelele, futhi engakwazi ukuqhubeka nokufana nempilo ejwayelekile.

Eminyakeni engama-20, uSpencer wakhuthazwa ukuthi azame i-yoga ngumuntu owazi kangcono: umama wakhe. Uthathe iDVD, wathenga umata we-yoga, waqala ukuzijwayeza ekhaya. Nakuba kwakubonakala kumsiza, wayengazilolongi ngokuqhubekayo. Eqinisweni, ngemuva kokuba abanye odokotela bakhe beyekile, wayeka umkhuba wakhe omusha. "Inkinga nge-EDS ukuthi abantu bakholelwa ukuthi akukho lutho oluzosiza - yilokho engikukholwe cishe iminyaka eyisishiyagalombili," kusho uSpencer.

Kodwa ngo-January 2012, waqala ukucabanga ngendlela ehlukile. "Ngavuka ngelinye ilanga ngabona ukuthi ukusebenzisa amaphilisi ezinhlungu ngaso sonke isikhathi kwakungikhathaza, kungivimbe empilweni," uyakhumbula. "Kungaleso sikhathi lapho nganquma khona ukuzama i-yoga futhi-kodwa kulokhu, ngangazi ukuthi kufanele ngenze izinto ngendlela ehlukile. Kwakudingeka ngiyenze. nsuku zonke. "Ngakho-ke waqala ukuzijwayeza namavidiyo ku-YouTube, wagcina ethole iGrokker, indawo yamavidiyo yokubhalisa enezinhlobo eziningi zokugeleza kwe-yoga futhi enikeza ukufinyelela kubaqeqeshi bomuntu siqu abanikeza ukuholwa.

Cishe ngemva kwezinyanga ezine enza umkhuba ofanayo wobumnene, ngokungazelelwe uSpencer wezwa ukushintsha kokwazi. “Konke kwashintsha kusukela ngaleso sikhathi kuqhubeke,” usho kanje. "I-Yoga iyiguqule ngokuphelele indlela engicabanga ngayo nengizizwa ngayo ngobuhlungu bami. Manje, sengikwazi ukumane ngibone ubuhlungu bami, kunokuba nginamathele kubo."

"Uma ngizikhipha embhedeni ukuze ngenze i-yoga, ishintsha ngempela indlela yami yokucabanga yosuku," usho kanje. Nakuba ngaphambili, wayegxila emicabangweni engemihle mayelana nokungazizwa kahle, manje, ngokusebenzisa ingqondo ethile nezindlela zokuphefumula, uSpencer uyakwazi ukuthwala amavayibhu amahle asuka ekuzijwayeza kwakhe ekuseni usuku lonke. (Nawe ungakwenza lokhu. Funda kabanzi mayelana nezinzuzo zokuphefumula nge-yogic lapha.)

Ngenkathi esahlangabezana nezimpawu ze-EDS, i-yoga isizile ekunciphiseni ubuhlungu bakhe, izinkinga zokujikeleza, kanye nokuqina kwemisipha. Ngisho nasezinsukwini lapho ekwazi khona ukukhama emaminithini we-15, akaphuthelwa ukuzijwayeza.

Futhi i-yoga ayikashintshi nje indlela uSpencer anyakaza ngayo—iphinde yashintsha nendlela adla ngayo. Uthi: “Ngiqaphela kakhulu indlela ukudla okungithinta ngayo. "Ngaqala ukugwema i-gluten nobisi, zombili lezi zinto ezihlotshaniswa nokuphazamiseka kwezicubu ezinjenge-EDS, okusize kakhulu ekunciphiseni ubuhlungu bami." Uzizwa enothando ngale ndlela yokudla kangangokuba uSpencer blogs ngokudla kwakhe okungenalo i-gluten e-The Gluten Free Yogi. (Uma ucabangela ukushintshwa okungenayo i-gluten, hlola lezi zinganekwane ezi-6 ezivamile ezingenayo i-gluten.)

Uphishekela nezindlela zokusiza abanye abantu abanalesi sifo. Njengamanje, ukuqeqeshwe ngothisha-enethemba lokuletha amandla okuphulukisa e-yoga kwabanye. "Anginaso isiqiniseko sokuthi ngizofundisa estudiyo noma mhlawumbe ngisize abantu abane-EDS ngeSkype, kodwa ngivulekele kakhulu ukuthi ngingabasebenzela kanjani kangcono abanye." Ubuye wasungula ikhasi le-Facebook elisebenza njengeqembu lokusekela labanye abane-EDS, i-fibromyalgia, nezifo ezihlobene. “Abantu abafika ekhasini lami bathi kuyabasiza ukuthi babhekane nokuba nomphakathi, ngisho noma bengekho kwi-yoga,” kuchaza yena.

Umlayezo oyinhloko uSpencer afuna ukuwusabalalisa: "Vuka nje wenze. Uzozibonga ngokuhamba kwesikhathi." Njenganoma yimuphi umgomo wokuba seqophelweni eliphezulu noma empilweni, ukuvuka embhedeni nangaphezu kwalesihibe sokuqala kuyisinyathelo sokuqala empumelelweni.
