I try to keep the serious stuff off this page unless it's in my one book about my life but it's hard to keep such a big part of my life private. I have unknown hypermobility issues that cause me to be in chronic pain. My knees, hip, back, and shoulders can all be in pain and there really isnt anything i can do about it other than work to keep my pain at a minimum. I have crutches to keep pressure off my knees and hip, and braces to keep everything from moving too far or even subluxing like my hip. I have gloves to keep my hands from pain do to my (what is thought to be) Reynauds. Long story short, I am in chronic pain and it's part of who I am at this point and theres no reason I should hide it.
