Help in dealing with chronic illnesses and pain.

We are here for you, We know how you feel.  




Hi it's me Heather:
Here is my story:  It all started when I was 5 .   ( No just kidding)

I am a Mom of a 13 and 14 yr old boys. My husband and I have been together for 17 yrs now. I am 40 yrs old. We love motor bikes, camping, skiing, Boats, all water sports, Hiking and gardening. We are also very involved with our church.

I had trouble with my lower back as a teen. I wiped out water skiing and tore many muscles , ended up laying around for 3 weeks.  This same kind of thing kept happening through out my life where I would go to Physio or the Chiro for a month or so and then be ok for a while again.

 Soon enough the visits to get help were more often and the being hurt lasted longer and was more painful.

 Finally Dec 2006 I hurt my self and just couldn't get better.
I was working at a Lumber Mill and the constant abuse finally caught up.

So I have not worked since then I have been to Dr.&  Specialists & had CAT scans, MRI's . The works and no one can find out exactly why I hurt so bad.

Now I live on Morphine and anti depressants, and just try to keep up with a few house hold chores and be there with my family.
I hurt all the time and I get tired all the time, sometimes I sleep for days.  I have taken up reading to try and keep my mind busy and lots of self help books.
 
This is me and I want to know about you !
