I really need to feel less alone about my conditions. About me: I am currently 21 almost 22 years old Female I have history of severe mental health and trauma since I was a child. In 2019 my active trauma ended. In 2021, I started getting debilitating back pain, joint pain, and leg pain. I went through so much testing and procedures. In 2022 and 2023, I was diagnosed with seronegative rheumatoid disease, sacroiliitis, fibromyalgia, Intervertebral Disc Degeneration, a bulging disc with annular tears, a slight curve in my spine, Sensory Peripheral Neuropathy, lumbar Radiculopathy, genu valgum deformity, Claudication and sciatica in my legs, and HS. Not to mention that while all of this is going on, I start having delusional psychosis and severe major depression. Ive tried physical therapy, many different medications, SI joint injections, Epidural steroid Injections, nerve blocks, and I will soon start Butrans patches for pain and Humia for my RA. I have to sleep with a pregnancy pillow in order to have adequate support to sleep through the night, otherwise Im woken up by pain. I haven't been able to work for over a year now, Im working on getting disability. I cant stand or do chores much or walk more than a quarter mile or sit for more than a half hour or lay for an hour in one position. I have a really hard time taking care of any kind of hygiene and cleaning up after I go to the bathroom. I feel so alone and I haven't met anyone with near as many of the conditions I have and doctors dont look at it like a whole, they just look at parts they specialize in. Im still a very young adult and the rest of my life is shortened and taken away from me because of these. I am grateful for my husband though, he is a trooper
