Greeting Tam. I'm tomcat, I'm one of the assistants around here. And I'm also one of those that suffer chronic pain. I'm glad you decided to post your bio and join our group. From reading your bio, you have alot of things going on in your life. First off, congratulations on your impending birth. Do you know yet if it is a boy or a girl? Or do you want to be surprised? I was surprized when my son was born, and boy was I ever! I was so sure he was going to be a she! I know that you just want a healthy, happy baby, that's all.
You have so many different physical things going on with you and at such a young age. Sweetie, I so hate it for you. You have a lot on your plate. I wasn't familiar with Elhers Danlos Syndrome, so I looked it up. I see that it's a connective tissue disease that makes your joints move out of place. Am I correct? I worked in the medical field previously and was familiar with most of the other medical conditions from which you suffer from. Do you take pain medications? Do you have chronic pain to need constant pain meds? I know that the pregnancy has modified your medication routine at least temporarily.
You are not whining or complaining one bit in this group EVER when you post anything. That is exactly what this group is for. Know that. That is exactly what we are here for. We are like a family. Many of the members have been around several years and we have really gotten to know alot about each other and become friends. We'd like to get to know you as well. We even have some resident Canadians too! Our regular message board is over on the "general messages" so come on over there and join us and start posting. The bios section is a "get to know you" sort of thing and our regular messaging is the "general" board. Not everyone checks the bios section regularly.
Be sure to check out the left light blue panel. We have tons of great info there. Anytime you need anything from one of the managers just click on our links in the blue. I'm glad you found us and I look forward to getting to know you better.
