Welcome
Hey there. My name is Kelly. I am a twenty-two year old graduate student that moved to North Carolina this past fall in order to get my Master's in Public Health degree. I've been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and a undifferentiated connective tissue disease. My health is something that I constantly have to deal with. Grad school is made more difficult than it already is because of the pain and exhaustion I experience regularly. I’ve missed more days of work in the past 4 months than I have since I started my first job. I can’t sleep through the night, but even if I did sleep for 10 hours, I’ll still feel the need to take a nap 2 hours after waking up. Sometimes, I physically do not feel like my neck can hold my head up, especially without tremendous pain. Most days I have a migraine that’s so severe, I’m dizzy and nauseous. There’s not a day lately that my body does not ache, but those are the good days compared to the severe pain days. Living in North Carolina but being from
