    • About Me

      I am an easy going person who loves to laugh. I am married with three boys who all have various medical issues. My husband has AS and ADD so everyday is an adventure at our house. I am currently a stay at home mom because of my varied medical issues. I am in the process of getting SSDI. Please feel free to contact me if you need help or advice - I have been there and done that when it comes to all our medical issues as a family! As a family we recently started distributing Shaklee products to get away from toxic chemicals and offer a healthy alternative to our household. Please check out our site.

    • Close Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

      I always figured being tired all the time was because I was a working mother of three. Little did I know that the mono (EB) the cute boy in high school gave me would cause CFS later in life. I have always been in pain, as long as I can remember back, always figuring it was because I did too much. Now I am realizing my body is not my own and other people do not live in constant pain. I can not get out of bed most days...
