Hello, I am twenty-five years old and I have been in treatment since I was fifteen, with little improvement on the pathology I have. I feel like it is tearing my head open. Sometimes I get headaches, and I believe it is because of this illness.
I used to feel better, but as time goes by my illness shows more and more. If anyone has found the cure for this, I would appreciate if you would tell me about it. Thank you.
