Living with Chronic Illness as a Single Mom

Hello! My name is Sam. I have had multiple chronic conditions since the year 2000. I am a single mom to a 3 year old and find my health getting in the way of my parenting and work frequently. I just want to find similar people that experience health problems as much as I do so that maybe I won’t feel so alone 💔

You're definitely not alone! Are you looking for advice on possible relief or just support?

Sammmie

Hi Sammie. I get migraines at least 1X a week, usually 2X on top of my other chronic health conditions. I don't have children, so I can only imagine how hard it must be for you. Please be assured you are NOT alone!!!

Thank you so much! How long have you had migraines?

Hi Sammie! I also get migraines 3-4 times a week. They were getting better when I was doing botox as a preventative but my new insurance doesn't cover that. You're definitely not alone!

I’m on Botox, nurtec, and tramadol and still get migraines about 4-5 days a week. It’s exhausting. I’m having a neck surgery in 2 weeks that might help prevent further migraines but we shall see. Thank you for the support!
