New on this platform and hoping to meet a buddy that shares the pain

I live alone in Cleveland Ohio with my dog, Never married and no kids, I was diagnosed in 2018 and it’s been really sad being alone with no one to comfort me or share my pain with, I often wonder if it’s best I’m alone so no one experiences how fatigued I get or how much pain I’m in when the pain co...

Symptoms?

I’m getting ready for a slew of tests. I know I have ddd in my lower back. I have so many symptoms that I now know are possible Ms. But, they could be also ddd. However, if I collectively think about all of the things I have happening currently and all the things I’ve had in the past… it’s hard to c...

It seems like I cannot find even an ounce of motivation to get me to eat better or exercise. I just don’t even understand. With everything else I have to deal with, kids, inj...

Who is your support network?

People often mention how important their support networks are. My partner is supportive but doesn't have anyone to add to the support. I have friends but only a couple of them live nearby, and they all have their own lives to deal with but they do help when they can. I have multiple conditions on to...
