What's wrong with me:
-Bipolar disorder
-PTSD
-Migraines
-Herniated cervical disc
-Cervical radiculopathy and at times, paralysis of my arm(s)
-Endometriosis, fibroid tumors, and continuous cysts
-Sjorgen's syndrome including severe arthritis
-Raynaud's disease
-Hypertension
-IBS
-Rape and assault survivor
-Caregiver for parents: one-stroke recovering and the other-early onset dementia
-Really hard and very stressful to find trustworthy, caring individuals to help with parents, not to mention affordable
-I do have a paying job with benefits that I am grateful for but do not enjoy in the least because it is such a struggle daily to do.
-I need to replace my car as I worry about getting places safely but am barely making ends meet.
-I am stuck in a climate that I hate, (hate is not a word I use typically but in this case is appropriate), because it is not conducive for my symptoms. As i write this I see that it is 15 below without the wind chill and starting to snow. ** Sigh **
