Introduction



Hi! I am Jane and welcome to my life! I decided to create this blog after I started to experience complications from being born with Lipomeningocele Spina Bifida (S.B). When I was younger, I never wanted people to know about my "disability". Most people with S.B. are paralyzed and have to use a wheelchair or another device to ambulate. I have never had to use a device until I started suffering from complications; therefore, it was easy to hide my illness. I went from running 5Ks and waiting tables to frequent hospitalizations and chronic pain. Now that I am suffering from complications, I can no longer keep my secret. For 28 years most people didn't know of my diagnosis. This blog will describe my journey of living with S.B. and my decision to stop being ashamed and start living my life the way I deserve because I have finally realized there is more to ME than S.B.
