My first bout with chronic pain came from being hit with both a series of repetitive strain injuries (carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, epicondilitis) and a series of urinary tract infections that led to interstitial cystitis (the pain from which lasted for 5 years, 1995-2000) and the beginnings of pudendal nerve neuralgia, which was worsened during pregnancy and delivery, causing a second wave of chronic pain, which began in 2006 and has yet to conclude.
As a professional writer and blogger, I work with a lot of high profile clients, so I had a difficult time deciding whether to share my health problems with the world, but finally when I hit another setback and was ready to begin more serious treatments, I decided it was time that my friends needed to know why they hadn’t heard from me as much over the past few years. Thus this blog. I had written here and there about my experiences but those spaces didn’t seem to be the exact fit, so starting my own was the only thing that really made sense.
