I was previously a high school teacher in California for at-risk youth. I don't know what or who I am anymore, only that I suffer from unbearable chronic pain. In my old life I enjoyed rockclimbing, skiing, traveling, hiking, fishing and cooking. Now I read, drink, take numerous medications and pray that I will be able to get up and go to work the next day so I will have the money to pay for my meds. In 1997 I was in a motorcycle accident and in 1998 I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and depression. Over the last 13 years I have lost my career, friends, my car, my personality, my home, my independence, and my zest for life. I am also in such debt I may never be able to dig myself out. Since moving to Indiana a few months ago my new pain doctor insisted I get a MRI where he discovered several bulging discs in my neck and that the curve of my spine is introverted. Hence, no fibromyalgia and no insurance to fix it appropriately. My treatment consists of what inexpensive drugs my doctor decides to put me on until the day will come, if ever, I get health insurance. My goal is to hopefully learn from other Wikipedians know about this injury and/or medications that may be helpful. If there is anything I could offer to others I would be happy to oblige. Thank you, my pity party is over.
