Hi.
My name is Erick. I have been living with chronic pain for whatever
reason for about 5 years of my life now. I am 25 now. The pain I have
has no direct explanation. I also have chronic sinus problems and
stomach problems. I had spent a lot of money and time in trying to
help myself get along with this.  Probably as many of you we are often
misunderstood since most of these sickness and pains are very
difficult to prove and to explain to people including doctors.

This last year my condition has been getting better and I have faith
that there would be a day when all this will be part of my past.
Although this experience has been sometimes very painful, I am happy
God gave me the strength to go through this with dignity and a strong
living will.

Oh, wow. I had been seen by many doctors and there are many possible
explanations for what I have, as well as many possible names. I don't
want to name them now and go further on medical details. I am not a
doctor.

Instead of saying for what I come here for. I would say for what I am
not here. I am not here to show you my success story while I know
people keeps suffering. I am not here you to convert you into my
beliefs. People are free.  I am not here to try to sell you a specific
product, treatment or drug as I am one of you and I wouldn't like been
played with something as serious as health. And I am not here to feed
my egocentric side with what I humbly know from experience, research
and yeah pain.

I AM HERE TO HELP YOU AND BEING HELPED BY. This desire is deep printed
on my heart. I am here to bring the love, peace and hope you need as
much as I need it too specially when the pain comes. This comes from
God in me to you, and to everyone. I am one of you, that is not going
to change even if my sickness disappear.

SO ENOUGH FROM TALKING ABOUT ME
I HOPE YOU ACCEPT ME AND TALK TO ME
AND I HOPE YOU READ MY POSTINGS
WE DON'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS ALONE
WE ARE ALL BROTHERS AND SISTERS

AND YES WE DON'T HAVE THE ANSWERS FOR ALL THE QUESTIONS

God bless you very much
