      WELCOME ABOARD, I have been dianose with "Bipol" over 10 years ago; I still don't understand it---it seems like everyone around me can see it but me!!! So I just accept it and move on---I don't hurt anyone when I go from one extreme to the other. As a matter of FACT I'm more melloer---go figure!!!! I leave it in GOD's hands and when the time comes my BIPOL and all my other issues will all go away!!!! Have a great day, GOD BLESS!!!! Friends, WW P.S. Here's a little "sunshine" for you!!!!

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

    • Open Back Pain

      Was in a very bad car accident 4 years ago. I have had multiple spinal injections, steroids, epidurals, never blocks, and back surgery. I have tried exercise and physical therapy. Nothing seems to help. All my orthopedist recommends is back strengthening surgeries. Now I am in a pain management program looking for something to help. I'm at my wits end.
