About this Blog
~Hi, my name is Courtney. I was a full time college student, starting to be a dancer, and used to work with kids part time, living on my own until my illness disabled me.
~I became sick in 2005. I created this blog in the summer of 2006 to record my "headache" diary and to see if anyone finds it interesting.
~12/2006 I lost my job then after, failed a year of college.
~2/2007 Dx Lyme Disease with Bartonella: prescribed 8 months of oral antibiotics. I'm not even sure if I ever had the Lyme Disease.
~11/2007 The doctor took me off medicines while I was still improving but not fully recovered.
~6/2008 Dx Chiari I Malformation by a neurosurgeon in Beverly Hills.
~8/2008 Decompression and Lamenectomy helped 80% of my problems.
~2/2009 Dx Hypermobility by an Orthopedic Surgeon/School Doc: Started PT, dancing, going to school and working.
~6/2009 Started working full time as an Infant-Toddler teacher, which requires lifting. Dancing part time, maybe I'll finish school eventually...lol

~2/2010 Sinus Surgery & complication: Severe Epistaxis: Became severely anemic.

walking my doggie and collapsing!
I walked i think about 2 miles to a burger place (i was trying to find a wig shop which wasnt there!) and 2 miles back. my dog isnt trained well enough yet and i was getting realy pissed that he was pulling alot on the leash. it was hurting me. i was in so much pain. my neck and spine and really all my joints, everything was hurting but the most was my neck and back. i finally got home and met my husband. we were locked out of the apartment and i fell to the ground and closed my eyes. didnt move for about 10 minutes. When will this all end???????????????

I'm so sorry to hear what your going thru! This all happened to me when I was 19. That's 20 years ago now. Hopefully they've caught your case in time that you can be treated and it will go away.
Hang in there. You're not crazy. Although this disease makes you feel that way.
