About Me
Hello, I suffer with severe fibromyalgia, degenerative disc disease, major depressive disorder, bi-polar and herniated discs, in my neck and back. Basically, I live in "chronic pain", 24/7 for the past 9 yrs. It has truely changed me from who I once was, to who I am today. I'm physically messed up for the rest of my life, unfortunately. Even though its so bad, I try real hard to see the good from all this, which is real hard to find, at times.
