I miss the simple things about not having chronic pain. I miss cute shoes. I miss being able to stub my toe, say ouch, and get on with my day. I miss standing up straight after sitting down. I miss going to theme parks and walking the whole day. I ...

I am SO livid. For a few weeks I've been having horrific facial flushing like ON FIRE feeling. I've been struggling with sleep. My angina came back for the first time since I was 18. My nerve pain is 40-60% worse than ever. And I found out today...

Little victory: to-day I made a homemade barbecue sauce despite awful back pain. It entailed over an hour of standing at a stove in arch support shoes and a back brace, but I did it!
