I am more than my pain.  My name is Mitizigirl a.k.a.(Viv) and I have lived in severe,excrutiating,debilitating pain many years now. It started small, very small a tiny little spider bite. It didn't look like much but overtime it grew into the Chronic Pain I have today.

I have been to numerous doctors over the years and found many do not seem to understand when your not screaming and crying that you are actually in severe pain.  I also have been misdiagnosised many times and came away with no answers at all. I have had numerous procedures many not pleasent and sometimes down right painful like having to cut on me with no numbing medicines. Then there are the doctors who really and truly care but still can't fix me no matter how hard they try.

Even on the worse days I am still Vivian the person who still likes to joke around and cut up and laugh and smile. There are days when the pain overtakes me and I may spend all day crying and upset and then being quite angry...but even so Vivian is still here. I try to keep a positivie attitude and remember that tomorow may even get better. Through it all no matter how good or bad it gets I still try to function to the best of my ability and do what I am capable of even if it is just something small.

I know that everyone trys to do the best they can. I do my best and take it one moment at a time. Through it all, with the help of God my Family and my Friends on here I am still carrying on to the best of my ability.

When my time is up I don't want to only be remembered as the woman in Chronic Pain. I want to be known as Vivian the woman who gave her all. Laughed,smiled,lived,loved and tried to help others who suffer as much or mor than me.
