My Headache Story

I am Dianna Stephaine Alvarez. I was born in 1996. I live with my parents and I’m an only – not lonely – child. I have not told my story yet. Why? Depression, anxiety, hopelessness, frustration, and not seeing that treatments were helping me. It pains me to tell my story because it doesn’t have a happy ending. My doctor told me, “Your story might not have a happy ending, but it doesn’t define who you are.”  Whoever takes the time to read this, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
