Brain/Spinal Surgery

I have a disorder where my body thinks I have a tumor. I really don’t though. I have many symptoms of a tumor including headaches and nausea. I also almost went blind. I have had to have 48 surgeries on my brain and spinal cord. It had been really stressful for me. I know that I have to stay patient so the doctors can figure things out and fix it. I mean obviously I had to stay patient, I had 48 surgeries! Patience helped me overcome my problems and now I am more comfortable with myself. Patience is definitely the key to success!
