@bumper123 Hello and welcome. I'm Rachel, it's nice to meet you. I like your identifying flower photo!

Thanks for joining the conversation and sharing your health journey. It's fair to say you felt a bit crazy...me too, and many others who strive for a diagnosis, let alone the correct diagnosis.

I did feel sad when you said "you feel deflated at times" because I know that feeling and empathize. On the flip side, I commend you for your positive approach and encouragement of others despite your struggles.

What would you say is the main reason you came to Connect? After having failed treatments, it appears you're at the stage of trying to find acceptance while searching for a pain management plan. Am I close?
