...but not to pain.

I was originally dx with TOS and had bilateral surgeries in 1992-93 (at age 24, although I had symptoms from childhood). In 2002, I was in an accident that caused severe damage to my neck, lower back, and irritated the pain in my shoulders/arms/hands. In 2004, I was dx with chronic migraine.

I've felt alone for all these years, dealing with pain that is constant. It's been a rough road. Right now, I am battling depression (from the chronic pain) and anxiety (from the accident) in addition to the physical pain.

I'm looking forward to getting to know y'all, and to finding solace in sharing our experiences.

Thanks for being here!
