About Me
I am a mother of 1, I am a Corrections Officer (fighting everyday for fair treatment in my workplace). I started having seizures about 5 years ago. They do not know why. I have had injuries to my back that seem to aggrevate my epilepsy, the Dr's say they can't see any evidence to that effect. But I know that when my back starts, the seizure activety will soon start. My passion is helping people. I would love to talk to others who understand my daily struggles.

I was in an accident in 2003 and told later that I had chronic pain after lots of back and forth visits with the DR. I had rehab (pain management) but started going down hill after returning to work.
