I would get rid of the pain from the Osteoarthritis in my knees ,back,and spine. I would love one day without the chronic pain. I never get a day without it.

The pain in my ankles. I am unable to wear any shoes that don’t support me properly and that means nothing that looks feminine. I struggle with the pain on a daily basis. I find it makes me very emotional. However, I am much improved with the biological drug benepali.

Emotional Dysregulation, then Hypervigilance then complex PTSD and after that Military PTSD...Yet thank god I still function and understand we are all suffering just in different ways. Some are free choices and the real ones are not! 
Also a random post and never read a single comment so don't take it personal. :)
