“Autoimmune diseases are so hard to diagnose…I was constantly pumped full of different drugs in hopes that one would help me. People do not realize that it can take years to get relief from your symptoms and get a proper diagnosis.” https://buff.ly/GTRMRwU #ChronicIllness #Autoimmune #MS #Lyme #CRPS

I smile through the pain…nausea…exhaustion…I have really bad days and those far outnumber the good. They can be absolutely awful… I’d give anything for a cure but since that’s not reality now—I play the hand I was dealt.”

Double Anniversary
It's 8 years ago today (17/9/2018) that I got my CRPS diagnosis. At the time it just felt like 'a name has been given to it, now how do we fix it?'

Honestly, I'm relieved to see this Bill defeated. This is not what a compassionate society looks like.
