    About Me

    At only 41 years old, I am dignosed with and am being treated for Asthma, Anxiety, Arthritis, chronic back pain, COPD, degenerataive disc disease, degenerative joint disease, depression, Insomnia, Migraines, Panic Attacks, Partial Paralysis, post traumatic stress disorder, Neuropathy, Reflex Sypathic Dystrophy. I am a single mother of 2 kids who are both special needs. Their father is gone and I get no support. My parents are deceased and I have no family. Despite my illnesses, I work a full time plus (60 hours) job to pay 2 mortgages on my home. Going in for VERY experimental and risky spinal surgery on August 19th and i'm terrified. I have to do this - every other treatment has failed. I may lose my job, my house, my everything.... but I have to do this - the pain is taking everything from me at this point.

    Interests

    I've lost them all. Too much pain to enjoy life.
