Welcome to SarahSynapses

Hi, my name is Sarah
I am a writer, an artist, and a scientist.
As someone who suffers from chronic pain, I try to use my own experience to help others who are in similar situations. Society frequently dismisses pain as “all in your head.” Experiencing the frustrations brought on by pain’s isolating nature inspires my desire to raise awareness about chronic pain as an advocate not only for myself but also for other pain patients who may lack the resources to do it on their own.
