CENTRAL SENSITIVITY SYNDROME

I have suffered with multiple, progressive, and debilitating central sensitivity syndromes all of my life, but I have also survived them. I was born disabled in 1981, was totally and permanently disabled by age 15, housebound disabled by 19, but not properly diagnosed until I was 21, and did not begin living a life within my limitations until I was nearly 23 years old... My CSS did not appear later in life, but from the start. My CSS has presented as counter-intuitive in regard to typical treatments in many cases. My treatment was something that when handed over entirely to the medical community it left me looking at spending the rest of my life inpatient with a very short life expectancy never capable of walking, using the toilet by myself, or even bathing myself alone ever again. That's when I took the reins and took over my own care and devised my own treatments on my own with a little guidance from the chronic pain management community... The result? Living entirely..
