Personal Information

Hello and Welcome to JoeyLee.com!
My name is Joey Lee*! I'm 43, disabled, and gay.
The main purpse(s) for creating this website is to offer support and resources for those that, like myself, live with Chronic Pain. Second, as I happen to also be gay, there are still so many people out there that are gay, or wondering if they are gay; scared, being beaten, being abused, wondering if ''being gay'' is 'wrong'; I will gladly offer support to any one looking to seek someone they can simply ''chat with''. For whatever reason you may wish to contact me, please know that I will keep ANY conversation, via email or other with the utmost discretion.

a little about JoeyLee*

On February 18th, 1992, my life as I knew it changed drastically. While working as a Counselor for abused children and teens, sexually/physically, I injured my right knee. From that day on; one ''botched'' surgery after another; about 9 - 11 surgeries in three years, I ended up physically disabled.

I was first diagnosed with; Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (also referred to as RSD or CRPS), and then, Avascular Necrosis (also known as AVN).
RSD and AVN are both very serious ''Chronic Pain Syndromes/Diseases'', with RSD being one of ''the most painful known to the AMA''; yet one of the most untreated diseases known.
As my ''conditions'' worsened, I came to realize I had a choice to make; I could give in to the excruciating pain, give in to the limitations these diseases caused; or, not, I could find a way to live each and every day as it comes. This is certainly not the way I had envisioned my life would turn out, however it IS the way it has turned out.. I decided that I wanted to do something where I could continue to ''counsel'' others. Since I am unable to work in any official capacity due to the physical limitations as well as the pain, I wanted to find a way to help others that may be dealing with similar situations; being disabled, living with chronic pain, and even dealing with being gay or as they call it, ''gay curious''. These ideas were what lead to my creating this website, and keeping this website for the last 13+ years.

''I am Blessed in So many ways'' How is that possible?

Despite all I have to deal with on a daily basis, I still consider myself to be extremely blessed.
Why? Because I AM ABLE to share my life with my ''life-partner'', David*. David* and I have been together for 17 1/2 incredible years!

Believe me, I whole-heartedly believe I would not be here today if it were not for David* along with a select few others.
More reasons to be blessed

within the past 10 months or so, I have reunited with one of my many Nephews, Ryan*; a Niece, Candra*, her son Bryce*, (a complee Angel*!) and many Wonderful Cousins, an Aunt and Uncle I hadn't seen nor spoken to in over 9 years..
