| Hi. I'm Selena of Oh My Aches and Pains! |
I'm the ultimate ChronicBabe--a leukemia cancer survivor
who is living with late effects like Hepatitis C, type 2 diabetes and dysautonomia and developed chronic myofascial pain, fibromyalgia,and chronic fatigue after a trip-and-fall.
That's right--I’m a sick chick and have been for the last 23 years of my life.
I was diagnosed with the blood cancer leukemia at the age of 22. Eighteen years later, the doctors finally confirmed what I already knew: cancer treatment left me with late and long term health problems, including dysautonomia, chronic Hepatitis C infection and related type 2 diabetes, as well as infertility and early menopause.
Before becoming disabled in 2004 after a trip-and-fall accident that resulted in my current state of chronic, debilitating pain and fatigue, I used to say, "For a healthy person, I sure have a lot of health problems!"
Here at Oh My Aches and Pains! (OMA&P!) I write about my adventures learning to live my best life despite chronic illnesses. I share my journey with you, my readers, to pass along the lessons I learn to help you live your best lives with chronic illness too. My blogging goal is to make life more fibro-friendly one post at a time. Along the way, I am developing an expertise in successfully managing multiple chronic illnesses.
