to raise awareness of Rare Diseases.

and the ellipticals I use to get me through my day.

We need more awareness of chronic pain and the negative impact it has on our lives.

But what's the point when life is so amazing...

2003 - before the pain really took over my life.

I write my stories in hopes for understanding.

Migraines and Triggers.

Well, thankfully, it didn't turn out as badly as the phone message had made it out to be...phew...

My head hurts! Another day, another headache...this time with a weirdly timed phone call?...coincidence?...urgent?

My head hurts ... "but just from the teeth up" ... then I giggle ...

Trigeminal Neuralgia; daily fluctuating pain levels.

I just don't feel good!!!

Will discuss my physical health diagnoses, break down what they are, how they affect me, and how they are affected by my mental health.
