Mighty Member since February 2017
I have Dystonia, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, M.E., Sleep Apnea, Interstitial Cystitis, OCD and anxiety. I always forget one or other of my diagnoses – it’s hard to keep track. I’m sure many of you will relate. I’m constantly engaged in that battle of body versus brain. My brain is still the ambitious professional (with high functioning anxiety) I’ve always been. My body on the other hand… well, it’s having none of it. My life has changed beyond recognition in the last few years and publications here on The Mighty have helped me enormously. When you’re isolated to the point at which you can’t face any social interaction, your friends withdraw and you can’t even step foot outside your own house, it is resources such as these which reassure you that you are not alone. On the contrary, you are supported by an army. You are one of The Mighty and you can and WILL live to fight another day.
