Hi. I'm Cat and I suffer from Intercostal Neuralgia. It has turned my life upside down! I underwent a 'routine' operation 3.5 years ago to remove a benign breast lump, and for some reason I got left with this debilitating condition. It has NOT been easy. Daily life is hard! I try and keep my pecker (chin) up, as much as I can and have had to develop coping strategies. Over two years ago I started up an Intercostal Neuralgia Facebook page so that I could connect with other sufferers like me. I have never met another #IN warrior face-to-face, but I speak with the 400+ followers on Facebook. I try to share my words of wisdom (ahem), my advice, my trials and my support. This is where I had the opportunity of meeting Stacey and Ever. Hopefully, together, we can help spread Awareness of IN and its symptoms and effects.
Do not worry, you are NOT alone! We are here and #Neuropathy is very real.
I would like to take a moment to send out a GET WELL SOON to Stacey, as she has been in hospital recovering from fluid around her Pain Pump. We are thinking of you both (yes, you Chris ;) ) and hope to hear good news soon!
Please pop on over to the Intercostal Neuralgia Facebook page any time and all the very best! IN on Facebook
Over and out,
~Cat
