Hi. Just started yesterday. (At level 7) I'm a married mom with two grown sons, 18 & 23, and have four fur babies, 3 dogs & a cat. I suffer from multiple chronic medical conditions including a rare brain condition called Intracranial Hypertension, which causes my body to produce too much spinal fluid to build up on my brain. This causes severe pain & blindness, just to name a few.
Looking for some friends to play the game with. Would love to chat with everyone, but especially other disabled/chronically ill people like myself. Also other animal lovers...lol. My nic is MamabearPam.
Looking forward to chatting with you all, as well as playing with you.

Have a great day! :)

Now that's a classy add me thread! I'm a single 32 year old. Well 32 in about 10 days. I know what it's like to have a medical condition like that. I was born with cerebral palsy. Thankfully it was a very minor form of it but I had my challenges as a child. I had speech and physical therapy and even through college I had to have additional help with my classes as I had a learning disability along with this. I sometimes find myself suddenly shaking or blacking out but this lasts for just a few seconds at most and thankfully hasn't happened while driving or any other dangerous moment.

I also have scoliosis. I had to see a chiropractor about 7 years ago that straightened me out but I think it's time to head back. I broke my back falling 2 stories when I was 18 and that didn't help.

So um yea I can relate. Welcome to the community

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. I actually have scoliosis too! Mine thankfully is only minor, but it's caused me grief. I also have Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue syndrome, severe Arthritis, & other conditions, as well as the IH. I also just found out I may have Lupus as well. But I'm alive & have a wonderful life & family, so I consider myself blessed. I'm sure you understand exactly what I mean. I'm very pleased to meet you. I always find inspiration & strength in others like myself. Thank you again.
