From the Vault: Special Guest Star - The amazing and talented RICKI LAKE!
Ricki Lake describes developing sudden, severe low-back and sciatic leg pain roughly fifteen months after her husband's death, an episode that left her barely able to walk and lasted about five or six weeks. After journaling and emotional work with the host, the pain switched off and she reports being completely pain-free since, with her grief also feeling lighter. Her account illustrates how overwhelming loss can coincide with physical symptoms and how addressing emotions coincided with her recovery.
