About Me
24 year old RN who loves babies and caring for others. I used to be so outgoing and fun and married my soul mate 2 years ago. I struggle to get through each day with pain and am at high risk of not being able to work with Fibromyalgia taking over my life. I want to reach out for support from others who understand my suffering. I just had my first pregnancy and then miscarried at 11 weeks and grieving daily. I would like to try again but my body isn't healing well so it is on hold for a while, which makes me sad.
Interests
Nursing in general, caring for sick babies that have hope to get better. I love to visit family, read and used to love playing soccer and basketball before I became ill with pain.

Close Fibromyalgia
I am 24 and have been dealing with pain disorders and accident related pain for at least 10 years. I officially have fibromyalgia. I suffer day and night with muscle pain. I quit my job, stopped caring for babies (my only vice) and live on going to MD appointments and lying on the couch. I have a husband of 2 years.

Open Miscarriage
I lost my baby at 11 weeks, no heart beat. I was alone because it should have been a normal check up. That was early July. I had 2 D&Cs, first one wasn't fully successful, second this past week and now I have a severe uterine infection. I'm heartbroken, ill, and very fat in the belly area from 4 months of pregnancy and loss. I don't know what to do.
