Hi, my name is Kimberly.
I am seventeen years old, and was born with something called CIPA.
CIPA means, congenital insensitivity to pain with androsis. In human terms it means i cant feel anything physical or sweat. Alot of people dont understan it, cause its so rare only 100 casses are in the US.
I cant even participate in gym class, and if i fall down and get a little scrape on my knee i have to go to the doctor cause it might be something more serious. Im called the vest girl cause i wear a vest to regulate my temperature.
Ok, so this isnt really a rant right now. but i thought id introduce myself. feel free to ask questions about CIPA, im willing to answer.
