My Journey with Chronic Illness started as I was working as a Nurse in a Elderly Retirement Facility. I worked the graveyard shift. Which isn’t the healthiest way to work and I was working long hours on top of it “Double Whammy”. I was feeling kinda weak going to work this day but of course I went anyway. As I was doing my rounds I fought through it hoping it’ll go away but just I was coming out of a residents room “boom” fainted on the floor SMH!!

This was the start to my Journey. It took mouths to find out what was wrong with me. One doctor even had the Audacity to say it was all in my mind. I never been so upset and insulted in my life. After many local doctors my husband just as fed up as I was took me to Emory Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia. A two an a half hour drive from where I live. But it’s was what we where look for. The trips are hard on my body but the doctors are AMAZING and I was blessed to be paired with doctors who understand my illnesses and how to treat the accordingly. This is the story of how I starting this up and down Journey with Fibromyalgia.
