First, thanks for the link KMCM I'm Greenfrog78 at Snopes and IRL I'm Tad or Susanna, depending on who's addressing me. I prefer Tad.
About me, I'm about to turn 33 and I'm happily married to a great guy named Joey. We live with our two cats, Bubba and Squeaky. I don't work because of all my issues. Well, I do some babysitting(for my two littlest nephews) but that's only a couple days a week and it totally and completely kicks my ass.
And my issues, I have fibromyalgia for starters. I seriously suspect I have MS as well, but I haven't started the process of trying to get it diagnosed yet. But my aunt has it and I've had symptoms for years. I also have anxiety issues and the anxiety issues and the pain play off of each other something terrible. I have BPD as well. It's mostly in check but it certainly gives me more issues then what I'd like. I have endometriosis as well, and it's INSANELY painful a lot of times. I can't remember the last day I had without pain. It's just part of my daily experience now.... I have sort of almost made a kind of peace with that, but it still kicks the shit out of me regularly and I go through depressive funks about the never-endingness of it all.
And then there's the balance between telling my hubby about my pain so he knows and feeling like all I do is talk about my pain. I don't want to seem like I'm "milking" it or making a "big deal" out of it, but I tend towards silently soldiering on and that doesn't work well either for a variety of reasons.
Anyway that enough about me for now. It's nice to be here and I hope to post more soon.
