I am almost 37. When I was BARELY 36 (two or three months) I was diagnosed with DDD, herniated discs blah blah blah...I am still getting new dx's pretty much every month.

 

Now all of a sudden, I am a different person. Not the same being I was even 2 and a half years ago.  I used to work.  I used to go out and do new things.  I used to "experience" life. Now I don't.  Jobs see the way I walk, hear of the limitations I have, and then no job after a decent interview. 

I am trying to build up a new life, working from home, around my health. 

 

Now, everything is based on what I feel like that day.  I disappoint my kids regularly because I just can't do what we talked about the day before.  Things are not the same with my husband or my friends. 

Even with research about my illnesses and groups like this one, I feel that I am alone more often than not.
