    • About Me

      I have Fibromyalgia, Bipolar, Nueropathy and Rhuematoid Arthritis. My wife of 30 years left me on November 18 2006 two days before our anniversery. I used to love hiking, camping, rafting anything outdoors and I love the ocean. I have been housebound for 5 years except for short trips to Drs groceries etc. I hurt all the time I have had pain blocks use a morphine 3 day patch and vicoden and soma. I also use Celebrex. but I only seem to get worse instead of better.
