About Me
I am now on disabilty. I am also now divorced and have one adult child and a grand child. I have also got a NEW COMPANION "FOR THOSE MEN WHO DON'T GET IT" who understands my health problems. I have learned since being dianosed with FMS several years ago the best way to help myself is to learn as much as I can and then discuss it all with my Doctor and in turn I have found myself helping others who are having so much trouble accepting their FMS. This has become my passion to be able to help. I also have TBI that has been a struggle.

Close Fibromyalgia
I've had Fibro for what I have just recently found out over 30 years and after going through hell and back am finally getting the proper help for me. It has taken it's toll on me I don't believe in giving up accepting reality and making the most out of life. looking for the possitive things life has to offer, things that make me laugh. My life has not been easy but I've put the bad behind me and just living the best I can. Part of that is having other people I can chat with who also have Fibro.
