    • About Me

      I have Fibromyalgia and a host of other medical issues that have forced me to retire. I've been married for the past 35 years to a wonderful man who is my best friend. We have 1 son and 3 grandkids who live in another state - too far away to visit. :( We have 3 Dogs - Schipperke's They are our other kids :)

      God picked a flower and dipped it in dew then lovingly touched it which turned into you. Then he gifted to me and said, "This friend is for you".

      I am in a contest for how many hugs I can GIVE away this week. I'm going to win over Olive86 but she is going to win over boredom. So if you get a weird hug from me or her..you will understand.

    • Close Fibromyalgia

      I was finally diagnosed with Fibromyalgia last year. This was after several specialists and every test they could think of to rule out something more solid. My Dr. thought I was just a complainer! Anyway I have all of the following: Fibromyalgia, Cronic Pain, Depression, Cronic Fatigue, Sleep Apnea (they found during a sleep study, as well as the fact that I do not get any REM sleep), Migraines, Compressed disks-both upper & lower back, Asthma, Allergies, Osteoporosis, Hashimoto's Disease, +++
