Hey everybody! My name is Alejandra Montante and I developed fibromyalgia 5 years ago. I was not diagnosed till 2 years ago. It has been a rollercoaster of a ride, but I want to show those who struggle with a chronic illness and mental illnesses that they can live a happy life! I have been through it all and I know we are on different parts of our journey. I want to remind you that you are loved for all of you, one day, you'll see that too!
