My name is Heather nd I suffer from type 1 diabetes, neuropathy/nerve dmage all over my body, and a very rare disease called erythromelalgia. My diabetes is very brittle and hard to control. Erythromelalgia, E.M. for short, is very hard to live with. It makes my legs feel as if they are on fire, burn, tingle, sharp pains. I live everyday in severe pain. Any amount of warmth makes my legs hurt even worse. Simple things like taking a shower, going out to eat or shopping, etc. cause me a huge amount of pain. I am uninsured so getting the proper care I need is pretty much impossible. There is a surgery that could possibly help with my pain but the hospital will not do it until I can pay half down which is over 10,000 dollars. So I am left to live each day in pain. Any questions about my situation you can contact me at shiningheart02@yahoo.com
