About Felt That

If you live with a chronic illness, you already know what it's like to be told your pain isn't real. To have a doctor look at your labs and say “everything looks normal” while your body is screaming. To cancel plans because you can't explain to people that today is a 3 out of 10 and you don't know why.

We built Felt That because we were tired of not having answers. My wife Kelly has lived with fibromyalgia for years. She knew — in her body, every single day — that the weather affected how she felt. But no app, no website, no doctor could show her the data behind what she already knew. So we built the tool ourselves.

What started as a weather forecast for one person's pain is becoming something bigger — a place where people don't have to explain themselves. A research hub that translates academic jargon into words real people can use. A space built for the people who've been told “it's all in your head” one too many times.

Felt That isn't a medical app. We don't diagnose anything. We don't replace your doctor. What we do is give you data, give you community, and give you the two words nobody in your life has said enough: we believe you.

Felt That is a family project. I'm not a tech founder or a doctor — just a guy from a blue-collar background who watched his wife struggle and decided to do something about it. I saw Kelly spending hours searching for answers — scrolling through forums, reading medical articles, checking the weather every morning trying to predict how her body would feel that day. She was piecing it all together on her own, wishing there was something out there that just made it easier. There wasn't. So we built it.

Kelly is the heart of this project. She lives with fibromyalgia, and her perspective shapes everything we build. Kelly's Corner is her space — personal, unfiltered, whatever she wants it to be. She's not a prop. She's a co-creator.

We're not a startup. We're not backed by anyone. We built this because we needed it, and we shared it because other families are going through the same thing.
