I have Chronic Pain in many areas. I have a disease called Pseudotumour Cerebri, which causes spinal fluid to build up on my brain and my spinal pressure is 3X what it is supposed to be. I had a shunt put in which isn't working and is causing swelling in my stomach and back. I have fibromyalgia and have been bleeding through my bladder. I am 32 years old and in menopause because of hormones I was on for my endometriosis, when I was diagnosed with the PTC last year they made me go off anything that could cause headaches and this threw me into menopause (the good thing is I don't have any new growth of endometriosis). Anyway, I have 2 kids, aged 5 and 11 years old and I live on Tylenol #4, I am looking for a support group, I have read that support groups help with pain management. Could someone tell me of one? Preferable where I can chat with other mothers who are in pain all the time?
