    • About Me

      I was diagnosed with hep c in December of 2007 & my 11yr old daughter was diagnosed w/ type 1 Diabetes on August 2nd 2008. I did 6 months of tx for Hep C and so far so good. I have been very tired and it has been a bit tough adjusting to the diabetes. With that being said, we are a very blessed family and I have a great deal to be thankful for. UPDATE: I was dx'd with fibromyalgia in early November=(
