My name is Shelley and I live in Texas with my husband and two children. I turned to blogging when I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 2011 after years of trying to find the answers to my health problems and being ignored by doctors. Frustrated with being treated like I was crazy and not being able to find a doctor willing to help me, I turned to blogging as an outlet.
Eventually, I was also diagnosed with Lyme Disease, CFS, and Ebstein Barr. Unfortunately, the Lyme went untreated for so long it destroyed my immune system and left me with Fibromyalgia permanently. Now I live with the consequences of all those bad doctors. My Lyme could have been cured at the beginning with one bottle of doxycycline, but now I’m left with being in pain for the rest of my life. I will have fibromyalgia forever because there is no place in the medical system for people like me.
Some of my favorite posts from my blog are:
