If you're not already familiar with me, my name is Eric. I'm a young adult living in the US, and I've been living with a combination of chronic illnesses and chronic pain for a majority of my life. I've learned how to manage my pain and flare-ups, but my mobility aids are lacking, and my pain is getting much worse. I currently use a cane, but I'm working towards getting forearm crutches, and eventually a wheelchair, so I can have more options for mobility and reduce my pain.
