Chronic Pain Chronicles

If I was perfectly healthy and you rattled of this list, I might have a hard time believing you. I can only imagine why anyone would choose this.
Having a life plauged with health problems is not only physically draining, it's emotional AND financial.
Before chronic pain came into my life, I had just learned to manage the symptoms of bipolar II and anxiety. I was stupid and got addicted to WORK. nothing that ends with "aholic" is a healthy addiction. Multiple jobs, one my own business, volunteering, multipule BOD while being doting wife, fun friend and super mom. I came down with the flu on a Saturday I was scheduled to teach CPR Thinking I was a super trooper, I taught anyway (I did tell my students). I never felt the same, like part of it never went away. Working on an event I was volunteering, I fell from a top a 9 foot ladder. My lower back landed on the A-frame and the cascade began.  and then...and then the pain. And THEN the pregnancy.
