I guess burned out is the best way to put it not sure how else to. I have had chronic pain for 18 years since a knee injury when I was 15. I was lucky to be diagnosed just 6 months after the injury. I was away at boarding school and didn't really realize how much it would change my life. I had...

I had an absolutely terrible night last night.
I went to bed the normal time, as I have a set bedtime routine, which sometimes help with the sleeplessness. I just couldn't fall asleep. Everytime I started drifting off my 22 month old son would wake up with a scream resulting in process sleep...
I've gravitated to the recent backlash against bullying in school. I guess it's dear to my heart because at some point or another, I was bullied, and probably a lot of us can relate.
I came across the following video put together by an obviously incredibly talented modern artist. I thought it...
Have apparently had FMS since childhood. Diagnosed myself @ age 39; had confirmation by several docs, beginning w/ neurologist. 56 now. Returned to school in 2000, but "Katrina" forced a relocation (and separation from my family) - a few months shy of graduation.
