Hi.
My name is Delta.
I am 55.
I have DDD in my entire spine.
I have osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia plus I am sure other things that my Dr. just laughs at.
Yes I need a new Dr. but since I have been off of work and waiting for my disability since 2006, I have to go to a free clinic so I don't have much choice as to my medical Dr.
I do however go to an awesome mental health clinic since 1999.
They diagnosed me in 1999 for major depression, panic disorder, anxiety, social phobia and ocd.
I had been searching my whole life to find out what was wrong with me but no Dr. seemed to understand me or listen to me until I was 46.
I was on several anti-depressants but they started doing more harm than good so I only take anxiety medicine plus all the medicine for my physical problems that have been getting so much worse the past few years.
I would say what hurts the most is having to give up my full time animal rescue to give in to my increasing physical ailments as well as having to take care of my husband who had a bad accident that made him have several back surgeries so he is disabled too.
I continue to rescue animals when I can though.
My story would take forever so if you have any questions just ask :)
