Hi Trish, Sorry to hear you live with daily pain. I do also. Along with my TBI, I also had a stroke from a genetic blood clotting disorder. It left me with full body pain and extreme body fatigue.
It matters and makes a difference having others to relate to. Please know that I am out here in the USA and thinking of you. I get it.
