About this user

Hi, I'm Rachel and though just recently diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, have suffered it's symptoms for 7+ years now. I have suffered with severe Narcolepsy (all the major symptoms) for 5yrs now. Fibro leaves me in severe pain most every day, my calves just won't stop. The fatigue, dizziness, and brain fog really bother me. I have nearly every symptom of FMS. Combined with the Narcolepsy, my life has been swept from beneath me. I can't work or drive anymore, and it's hard to to fight thoughts of suicide, because all I want is to escape my prision; my body.
