The Spencer Family

  I’ve been dissociating almost every day over the last few months. The stress has been hard on my brain trying to figure out resources for my end of rent, bills and essentials like food for my emotional support animal Mr. Bruce Lee.    Our car is not able to be used as my mom has lost the only key to start it. It may be better this way, as I feared if she would make it back whenever she left home. The car had become so loud that I could hear her from blocks away. Without getting the cracked manifold fixed and many other unknown issues I’m sure it has it is only a matter of time.    I went to the Mayo Clinic and got diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. The doctor I saw was incredibly kind to me. He explained how this is a real condition and that it’s got scientific evidence showing brain scans of pain receptors in people with and without Fibromyalgia as the brain was much more lit up with the people who have it vs the ones who didn’t.    I have many more appointments to go to and I need to figure out these headaches/migraines I’ve had daily for over 18 years. I know that pain in your head can cause your short term memory to not work properly from when I was diagnosed with severe whiplash from a car accident in 2007 I was in had the airbag deploy snapping my head back like a bobble head. I went to the hospital and they said I was fine but about a year later my chiropractor I’d been seeing had suggested I see a friend of hers who is Neurologist as she saw my memory severely decline over that year. I’ll write more soon. Sending love and laughter to all. 💞🦋😆
