I wanted to apologize for coming on here and just vomiting my frustration without taking the time to really introduce myself properly. So I guess doing this now is better than never doing it...so here goes it.

Hello everyone, my name is Jenn and I am from a tiny town on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. I am married ( our anniversary is tomorrow) and we have 3 children, my oldest boy is 20, our middle boy is 10 and our little girl is 2 1/2 but she thinks she's grown and bosses everyone around 🙄 Lol!

Like I said in my earlier post, I have been diagnosed with CRPS of the entire left extremities for the past 7 almost 8 years. Previous to being diagnosed I was in pain searching for answers for 3 years. I also have anxiety and depression. I hate being touched and it has affected my marriage tremendously. I'm sure I got hormonal issues as well but that's a whole 'bother situation. Anyway, I've done many injections I'm on tons of meds and I'm just over it all.

I work full time as a Med Tech for the gov't. And although I like what I do, it's not really what I LOVE to do. I'm still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up! Lol! I'm really thinking of quitting because it's just too much stress for me and I keep calling in sick due to my flares. But then I realize I need the money and it's not really a bad place to be.


This past year has been the most trying for me as my 70 year old mother has had issues with her health and I'm the only child who really cares for her. We live next to each other so that's a good and a bad at the same time. She has Lupus and had a stroke in March and now needs knee surgery so I've been really caught up in her medical needs and neglecting mine. If that wasn't enough, my marriage has taken a downward spiral with all kinds of issues. My husband has a business that I help with and its a lot of work for me. Not to mention taking care of the house and the littles.

I just think I need people in my life who truly understands my daily struggle because the people around me are confused at what to do and sometimes cause me more pain because they don't "get it". I'm grateful that there is a place for me to go where y'all know or understand what I'm going thru. So I thank you all for being here!

That's pretty much it for me....I think. My brain hurts right now so if y'all wanna know more you can just ask! 😊

Thank you again everyone and I'm sorry for not saying all of this before I vented in my first post. Hope y'all have a great night.

Aloha,

Jenn
