Founder of "Calming Waters" support group for anyone and everyone/Disabled, retired at 36 due to a serious fall that happened at a church while I was volunteering my gift of music. Music is my main passion as I sing, write and play a Korg Trition LE...I love to create new sounds. I have been isolated from normal activities due to yet another surgery to remove 3 lipoma tumors from my lower back. Two of them were as large as baseballs. I went paralyzed last December/2007 and then found out while recovering that I had yet 2 more that had to be removed, Wow! What an experience. I now understand what its like for others. I'm better now though and have been able to come off ALL narcotic meds for 13 long agonizing years of PAIN, so I DO understand what it's like. I'm in physical therapy and having good results rather quickly although it's challenging due to muscle atrophy/bedriddeness, but I WILL break through this. It's a bummer to have scars all over me but I'll take the scars any day over what I went through. I will wear them with LOVE for what I, my kids and now others are going through!

I am a caring person by nature and enjoy reading, being in serene settings, exercising in water, bird watching, photography and backyard barbecues with family and friends. I'm pretty much up for anything, as I have always had a very adventurous personality. Music is my number one passion and talent. I love to sing and play my keyboard. I enjoy creating new sounds, ideas, songs I've written...yet to be heard. I've always been an aspiring recording artist. I'm not far, I can feel it. As I am updating my profile I want to share that to let you know just how close I was feeling this dream come true, I now have an agent out of Nashville who is going to work with me and my 2 very talented kids, after the holidays are over, so it's looking like 2009 is going to be an amazing year for us as a family! I enjoy reading inspiring stories and books about people who overcame adversity simply by their will, perseverance and determination. I'm interested in writing a couple of my own books one day so that's somewhere on the horizon as well. I am determined to heal as much as is possible from ALL the traumas I've been through. The worst is behind me now. I am moving forward. I felt stuck for sooo long. I wish everyone here love and healing and I thank God for DAILY STRENGTH and the creator of it, for it is THE most powerful website I have come across to date!

oh God I wish I had the strength right now but at the end of the day my body freezes up on me and I'm done..fell on a stage at a church in 96 breaking my left pelvis, surgery to fuse it in 98 and FM and Myofascial Pain both came out fullblown afterwards and I've been very ill ever since. I try to have courage every day, but it's hard, because my husband left me for another woman, two of my three grown children have mistreated me and have nothing to do with me. I am left with empty dreams.
I'm a survivor of multi traumas. I survived my ex leaving me for another woman after i got sick. Raped and hit by a drunk driver both within 3 wks of one another in 2001. Got into an abusive relationship and it took 3 yrs to get away from him. I don't know how to go out of the house now and make any friends. I've been wracked with severe injuries so I've been bedridden and alone.
I've had several serious accidents so at 38 they retired after the worst one, where I fell on a stage (singer) seperating my left pelvis at the sacral joint so had to have a fusion 2 yrs after being bedridden and addicted to narcotics. Surgery brought out the FMS/CFIDS/PTSD and other traumas too much to mention here! Thanks for consideration!
Until recently I have suffered "abuse" at the hands of my entire family. I lived in fear and denial for many years of course just using what survival mechanisms I could to cope but there came a day when I couldn't take the abuse anymore! I am now "abuse" free after 50 years.
Drug dependent on MS Contin due to multi traumas to my body...wondering if after going through physical therapy and getting back into the water and the pain subsides could I possibly get off narcotics after 12 long years? Can someone really kick Morhpine AND Oxycontin? Because if it's possible I want to do it! I know I can't do it alone though.
I have been dealing with frequent bouts of "paralysis" due to multi-traumas (1 auto accident) where I was rear ended by a drunk driver...(2) assaults but am comfortable sharing only 1 of them at this time...I am in serious condition with frightening symptoms and need to seek answers..I deal with pain and spasms in my mid -back that travels down my lumbar into my legs on down into my feet. They feel heavy, they burn and don't want to move properly...I feel like I need a wheelchair, I live alone.
need research and links and support as to the news today that I have a disc proclusion at T5 6 and it's pressing in toward the spine,,,
Raped twice,,,once as a young teenager,,,a young virgin and then again after my ex left me in 2001, which left me with internal injuries that took forever to heal from...
I got a phone call back in 97 from our public health department that I tested positive for both Hep B and C. My Dr sent me to an internist who did some blood work on me and he said my viral load showed nothing. He said sometimes there are people who test false/positive. I need more info. Thanks.
Recently hospitalized and diagnosed with major depression.
I live in pain 24/7 from multiple traumas to my body...the worst being a sexual assault and sacral ileac joint fusion. I wish I could cut off my left leg at the joint and just have one leg because then I would be out of pain. I need support.
I think I have the worst case of RLS and need support!
various symptoms all pointing towards MS..the worst one being the facial pain and tingling and painful to the touch flare ups are getting worse...Have a Dr app next Monday to start investigating these eymptoms..
