“She’s So Strong”

Well,Continue reading “The Impossible Calculation”

I Didn’t Get Invited To Life

“Please help me. Why won’t you look at me? HELP ME”. These are the words I scream to family members in my nightmare. Spoiler alert. They don’t help me and they stand there and laugh. I used to have this dream all the time a few months ago. After I came back from Baltimore, theContinue reading “I Didn’t Get Invited To Life”

Please, Don’t Give Up on Me.

When you have a rare pain condition, you tend to get passed on between medical professionals. If they can’t fix you or have an exact treatment plan, they assume you are the “broken” one. Not that they just lack knowledge. Since I’ve had CRPS for so long, I have been passed around quite a bit.Continue reading “Please, Don’t Give Up on Me.”

Things May Not Go As Planned

If you personally know me, you know that ever since I could talk I’ve wanted to be a part of the best security agency in the world: the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

We all have friends-right? I mean no matter what you say, there is always some kind of support person. Chronic Illness has a bad habit of making its victim long for a strong support system and people who care no matter what. It is usually difficult to find the support necessary when your pain/illness isContinue reading “Invisibly Visible”

I Am Perfectly Imperfect

Most of us go through our lives with some type of self confidence issues. That is just the reality of the world we live in. We are used to seeing women on the front of magazines and on shows perfectly designed and without a flaw or blemish. We see men who have 6-pack abs andContinue reading “I Am Perfectly Imperfect”

Hi- I’m Alexis

Who are you? That’s a question that gets asked of us our whole life. We go to a new place- the first time we talk is to tell about ourselves. This happens in every block of life: school, college, work, extracurriculars, etc. Typically it is a very easy and simple question- as humans we loveContinue reading “Hi- I’m Alexis”

“You Shouldn’t Date Me”

People who have chronic pain get asked a lot of questions from day-to-day. Apparently we are very interesting to the general public. I mean other than being badasses, I’m not sure what’s so special. It is hard to find someone who is in the thick of early adulthood and willing to speak out about whatContinue reading ““You Shouldn’t Date Me””
