    • About Me

      I have been living with p for many years and I have accepted both the good and bad. I always search for new ways to deal with it. Im married with adult children and a grandson (my passion) I also have a form of md-and and autoimmune problem. My md problem is mysthenia gravis and I really dont like it--I have been treated for it for 4 years and I now take methotrexate and it helps but the side affects are lousy. My hair is falling out and I loose 1-1/2 days out of the week. But, I try to keep my droopy smile
