Judy's Story
| My symptoms are listed. My life has been changed dramatically. Previously a very active person I can now hardly walk. What was a robust & satisfying sex life is now severely compromised due to the pain. The pain keeps me from sleeping & wakes me up when I manage to fall asleep. My husband tells me I scream out in my sleep. I'm practically homebound. Can't peruse my vocation as licensed psychotherapist. Can't travel. Walk like an old lady. Depressed. Angry. Doc. discharged me from her service. Fearful this will never go away. |
