    About Me

    I'm a huge believer of Karma. What goes around comes around. I love to laugh and make others laugh. I'm only 27 but have suffered from chronic pain and Fibromyalgia for years. I try to enjoy my "good days" to the fullest. They are what keeps me going. I'm very easygoing and love to meet new people. If you have Yahoo and want to talk, my SN is PurpleFrog1019. Or my page is (www.myspace.com/purplefroggie)

    Interests

    I love helping other people who are in pain like I am. I love spending time with the my amazing guy. I love animals, especially cats and frogs. Go figure. LOL I love curling up on the couch with my honey (and kitty) and watching a movie. Nothing is better then that!

    • Close Chronic Pain

      I'm 27 years old, but have had chronic pain for about 5 years now. Most of the pain is in my back. I have DDD, herniated discs, annular tears, and arthritis. I also have Fibromyalgia. I'm currently seeing a great pain doctor who is willing to help me have a better quality of life. It took me 2 years to finally find someone willing to help someone so young and without insurance. I've been through hell and back with chronic pain. I'm hoping to help others in my situation.

      Treatments
