Hi everyone! I'm Shanna - 29 y/o pain-in-the-butt (who is also severely depressed because of the pain I live with daily).
I have fibromyalgia that never seems to let up.
I suffer from migraines. I had my first severe seizure the last game of the Stanley Cup when the Blackhawks took the series. Imagine my excitement -- as I laid in bed, frozen in terror and unable to move or call for help.
I'm anemic, which goes hand-in-hand with my leukemia (in remission). I bruise so loverly.
I have degenerative discs, bulging discs, arthritis in my spine, bone spurs, and stenosis of the spine.
Because of all the meds I'm on, I'm constantly sick. I try to eat, but thanks to a retarded esophagus, food never goes down well unless it's baby food.
Everyone thinks I'm so strong. I'm kind of sick of hearing that from my friends. I don't feel strong when I have to have blood transfusions, iron transfusions, or fall prey to my addiction to pain killers to cope with my life.
Nothing seems hopeful. I'm tired of the pain. I've tried all sorts of therapies. I just want to live free of the life I've come to know, where waking up means downing 5000 pills just to function.
I'm very shy and tend to look down upon myself. I bend over backwards to make people laugh at me. I just usually try to fit in, but never really do. I'm just different and not everyone understands or can appreciate me for it, but those who do, I cherish very much.
I'm a drummer and have been since I was 7 years old.
I love my family and friends. I would do anything for them. I hold the friends I have very close to my heart because the ones I do have are few and far in between. I blame my shyness and my brute honesty. Either way, I love everyone I have had in my life or have in my life currently. They have helped me become who I am by learning from everything they have taught me.
I live with no regrets.
