About Me
I am afraid to write anything here because a friend of mine who is in Human Resources told me that these sites are being used to check the personal lives of members when they apply for jobs or ban loans, etc...

Open Addison's Disease
I get really run down after a long period of hustle and then it is as if I am steamrolled...falttened and need to sleep non-stop and need prednisone to counteract the exhaustion, skin problems, and migraines.
