Jump Backwards - I am a 30 year old woman. I have chronic pain. I have a documented history of scans (MRI’s, CAT’s and ultrasounds) no showing what is going on. Doctors depend on the scans to make a diagnosis. So far we are sure that I have a herniated disk and arthritis in my left hip. I had surgery done on my hip to repair a labral tear. I do not believe the surgery was successful because the pain has not changed. But seeing they could never get a scan to show the tear how can we see if it’s fixed? I have been told by many doctors that I need to wait 20 years to have a hip replacement. I have found a job that I can work from home part time. I am successful in that job. I still need help. Where can I turn? The State of Michigan does not have medicaid at this time. At least they aren’t accepting applicants. That leaves me using every penny I earn to provide the medications I need. This is the place for my rant. The American health system doesn’t work. People fall through the cracks every day. I am one of them. // I also have PTSD, anxiety and have been diagnosed with a list of other mental illnesses. Most of those diagnoses are by psychologists who want to diagnose you with something instead of just realizing that you are broken. They don’t need a fancy name to say that people are scary to me. I used to cut. I haven’t in 2 years. Each day is a struggle.

Risa Chrysalis - Just a woman who (pretty literally) woke up one day wondering if this was life or a dress rehearsal. Guess what? It's life meant for living. So I'm now living my life instead of waiting for an elusive "something" no one seems to know. ... I tried like the dickens to avoid spinal surgery but finally gave up and had the bloody surgery (although I still occasionally walk like a drunk woman, sometimes, more often than not (but I can wear my heels again).

Nikki Marie Hauser - My son and daughter are the light of my life. Never did I think I would be so willing to give my life for that of another, until they graced mine. // Mother, wife, student,doula, lover, geek, bitch, and so much more...

Christina Carpenter - What is there to say about me that probably has not already been said, said in judgement, or in a jealous anger rage. // There is no other like me, just ask my husband. He will tell you that I am the only one like me, thats why he married me, thats why he loves me, and thats why he picked me. Because to him, I am special. // And lets face it, Im pretty much a big deal in my world.

Tiffany Gonzalez - I'm fighting for my life right now. I have Lyme Disease but I'm trying to beat it. I've had this for over 7 years but have only been in treatment since Oct 2009. I will be ok, because I've come this far, it's keeping up the momentum that difficult. I keep distracted by trying to help others learn about Lyme Disease & the dibilitating Co-Infections which make us very sick. Having help & understanding during the process of Lyme is so important. // You may read about my journey here: www.SusanaManzana.com/tiffanys-story.html or on Facebook:www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=378778059365

Erin Boxley - Erin is now gainfully employed at a reputable Orange County hospital. // I am a nursing school graduate and mother. I live with my family and a mother that's beaten cancer 3 times and has MS. I recently received my RN and am gainfully employed as a neuroscience nurse. This occupies most of my brain power these days, but I am now starting to relax a little into my more permanent roles of mother, caretaker and nurse. // I am already considering my BSN and MSN. Clearly, nursing school left me permanently damaged. // Now I can indulge in my previous hobbies like karaoke, gaming and getting an adequate amount of sleep. // Life is awesome.

Laura F McCloskey - My insomnia kicks in.... I'm afraid to sleep because I'm afraid of my dreams! LIFE IS HARD; LIVING IS HARDER! To Judge another is to judge God. Was a stay at home Mom throughout my children's lives. Volunteered all the time and even had to go out and work for a living when things got really hard. Just wish I had continued to work so I would not have the dilemma that I am in right now! Have been married for 35 years, we raised three children, we have no grandchildren. We are not held back by the love we didn't receive in the past, but by the love we're not extending in the present****
