Karmay was diagnosed with Scoliosis at age 28. She felt discouraged that her condition had been unknown for too long.
After so many life changes as a result of her condition, Karmay realized that being transparent about the condition with the individuals that she spent her time with helped her to share the weight, both physically and mentally.
Karmay found it important to empathize on the importance of daily exercising routines and yearly check-ups, especially during her development stage.
Scoliosis affected her life in a major way, and changed the way she saw herself. It was terrifying for her to wake up every morning, knowing that once she moved, the pain would arise. Over coming that mindset for her wasn’t easy. And as a result, she tried connecting with herself and her purpose, and when the pain was overbearing, she focused on gratitude. Counting her blessings, she remained positive that her daily routines would help over time.
Today, Karmay stays present and is not overtaken by fear. Mental development is very important to her, so she utilizes her time and listens to audiobooks, to gain new insight.
Karmay hopes that her story inspires others to live an amazing life and to utilize their intuition as their best guide. She believes in community forums, where individuals can share their stories.
One of Karmay’s many goals as a Scoliosis advocate is see changes in the treatment of spine deformity. She would like for there to be a universal, direct explanation on the varying treatment methods and preferences. She advocates for Insurance options on all kinds of treatments, from holistic fluid transfusions to traditional methods.
