    • About Me

      I'm a divorced mother of 3 adult sons. I'm doing ok these days, but I've had my moments. After returning to work for 12 months I became redundant due to the closure of the business, so have been looking at building up my own business as there aren't a lot of jobs locally. I'm in the process of renovating my home with help from my sons and friends. Updated 5 June 2009

      Reading, internet, reality tv - but there is lots more. I like helping people; though I can't help physically, as much as I used to anymore.

    • Close Fibromyalgia

      I developed FM after a work injury. It has completely turned my life around. I went from married, working full-time, exercise classes 5-6 times a week and regular walking, to divorced, out of work, hardly being able to get out of bed within 5 years. I am really trying to hang on and get some fitness back. I am working on a casual basis, so that's a good thing.

      Treatments

      Duragesic Patch Not Working
      Effexor Working / Worked
      Trying to wean off with horrible side effects.
      Heat Working / Worked
      Lyrica Not Working
      Started off feeling great for a week or so, then crashed big time. Horrid side effects.
      Tegretol Working / Worked
      Helped mood swings and pain levels but side effects arent great though for me a lot better than some others Ive tried.
      Valium Somewhat Helpful
      When muscles are really tight from pain
    • Close Families & Friends of Gays & Lesbians

      My 23yo son is gay. I love him and I'm very proud of him. I am just sorry that society is not very accepting of gay and lesbians, and that they cannont get the same rights as "straight" people.

    • Open Pancreatic Cancer

      I lost my best friend to pancreatic cancer recently - and I miss her every day.
