So I've obviously given a bit of an introduction, but it'd be really helpful to share a little bit more about your story, how you've ended up where you are today.

Ann LivingstoneGUEST
I can't remember really a life when I didn't feel some sort of ache or pain or discomfort.

Ann LivingstoneGUEST
It was put down to the fact I had poor eyesight, so I was constantly... quite accident prone as a toddler.

Ann LivingstoneGUEST
Then after that I was quite sporty and competitively did athletics and swimming and rode horses.

Ann LivingstoneGUEST
So I was constantly having pulled muscles, torn ligaments and also what comes from being thrown from a horse, particularly over a jump and a melee of poles and whatever being put on you.

And more people are going to like something on the internet that says all you need to do is drink mushroom tea than a post about how actually pain is really complex and you need to really work on a lot of different factors to see some improvements.
