I have fibromyalgia, spinal stenosis, in need of new knees but as im in my early 40s i will have to wait all caused via a hiking accident.
I also have a compressed spinal cord... and getting over spinal cord surgery. Learnt i was born with it.
I use a wheelchair mainly which is kinda frustrating after being an active woman.
Still smiling .... staying positive...
