About Me
Hi, thank you for checking out my profile. I am a 47 year old female. I was a medical secretary/phlebotomist, until July, 2007. I got let go from my job due to pain, weakness, brain fog, and fatigue. I was dx with Fibromyalgia April, 2008. I am happily married, mostly. lol We have no children. I had a full hysterectomy in 2000. I think I have had Fibromyalgia since I was a child.

Interests
The only think I really like to do, and I haven�t even done much of this lately. I love making tags or avatars, I don't claim to be an artist in the way. I do not make most of the art I use. I have ether bought it or it was made for me. lol I do have a strange sense of humor and really would never what to offend any one. I love people and being helpful. I am just so happy to have found this group and all the support here. I think this group is a very kind and caring bunch of individuals and I am happy to be part of it.

Open Arthritis
Treatments
- Tylenol Working / Worked

So I try not to take this very often. But so fare the only thing I can take. Well as long as I don't take it regular, then I will get a rash, but if I use it just when really needed, I am ok.
- Sleep Working / Worked
- I tend to sleep a lot when I am in really bad pain well the Tylenol 3 helps with that too.Sad I have to sleep my life away to be pain free. Well I can dream of being young and running like a wild child. lol
