Girl I'm telling you asthma will do that too you! Don't fight it, your body is trying to tell you some thing.

Wow, so maybe I was misdiagnosed with Chronic Fatique. I get so tired that I can barely focus on anything and I can barely function at all.

Agree - I fell at work ealier this year (slipped on a wet floor; a friend suggested that I should get compensation but I had stupidly walked straight between two wet floor cones...), landed awkwardly and hurt my back. Still not right, but for several days after I ached all over.

Don't brand me, don't classify me, don't tell me what to wear. I'll be who I want to be, and I'm proud to be me.

Believe me. She is telling you the truth, I have been in medical debt so many times, and so far not one bad thing has happened to me so far. Didn't mess my credit up at all.
