I've decided that I'm ready to write my story.  I need to group together my posts on here and knit them together with a sensible timeline, and reflect on how these experiences have helped me to grow and become the person I am.  I need to share all of the medical interventions I've had, the hopes that I've lost, the frustrations and pains I've had in finding what works, or doesn't, to heal my physical and emotional pain.  I am not pain free, yet.  I have not found the best treatments, yet.  I have found a huge, looming pile of treatments and therapies that DON'T work.  And a smaller yet significant pile of treatments that have, and some that still are, working.  I want to chronicle my journey to wellness here, because I hope dearly that something I write will be of help to someone else who suffers from physical pain, or PTSD, or just suffers.  I wish peace and freedom from suffering for everyone.  If I can help to lessen someone else's suffering through my story, then all of this pain will be worth it.  I'm asking every reader of my blog to pass it forward to everyone they know, so that my story is heard, and that people everywhere can benefit from the treatments that are out there.
