It all started when Kari was put on sick leave after many years of intense activity and commitment. She worked full-time at a folk high school, conducted two choirs, sang in a third, participated in revues, took care of an elderly mother, and much more. Gradually, she began to suffer from chronic headaches, muscle and joint pain, gradual deformation of finger joints, and constant fatigue. The doctor prescribed antidepressants, but for a month she felt nauseous and even more tired. Sitting in a chair every day with a headache and feeling unwell was not an option, so this was the start of a new chapter in her life. Masking symptoms with medication was not a long-term solution. A regimen of high doses of vitamins, minerals, Omega-3 capsules, and a daily half-hour of walking was necessary to rebuild her health. Gradually, her health, mood, and energy returned.
