About Me
I am on Soc.Sec.I., I have a hard time calling it "Security". Disabled since 1994 by fibromyalgia, irritable air-ways disease = chemical sensitivity and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I also have tag-along; Renaud's, metabolic syndrome, had both wrists carpal tunnel, hiatal hernia, duodenal ulcer, hypoglycemia, sever headaches, I.B.S., lactose intolerant, insomnia, depression, fatty liver, planar fasciitis, foot pain, like between bones ?, hip pain, sciatica, 2 ruptured disk, L4&5, .....Then....Dec.04' I fell and fractured T 12. Because of the severity of the irritable air ways disease and fibromyalgia I was unable to be in a work place so I filed for SSI/D. It took 7 years from 1994 and a State Supreme Court order before I was eligible for S.S.D.. I am mother of 1 grown daughter, grandmother of three and step mom to my partners son. I have lived with my partner for the last ten years. When his son turned 13 we got custody, now he's 19. He is my son now. He had a Steven King life before we were able to get him here with us. He still deals with attachment disorder to an extent. I write some music. I create art in many mediums. I love to cook, from scratch now so I control what goes into my food. I have the companionship of a six yr.old golden(red)retriever, two cockatiel and three cats. The two younger cats are talkers. They are also recycled pets, turned loose, found their way to my door. One of the birds I bought as a baby though. I delight in the PBS English comedies like Red Dwarf, Waiting for God, Vicar of Dibley, comedies and mysteries. Now a lot of things I love doing I am not able to do or I do in a modified way. With Fibro I hurt all the time in many areas of my body. I have suffered headaches for years.Oh, I love fishing and camping. Anything I can do out doors helps me feel better. Since I've been writing on D.S. I've loved spell check.

Interests
History of religions and church groups. I am not a member of any of the churches. The irritable air-aways Disease/chem sensitivity limits where I go, to a great extent. I love Bible Study and I do watch a televised study from Gravitz, (spelling?) Arkansas each a.m. When I can, physically and seasonally, I am out in the yard, organic gardening(which I'm reading and learning about every chance I get) including yard work, at my pace and modifications. I feel better when I can be out doors. I also have many plants inside, maybe 20 ish. I have mostly the ones that are forgiving, when I notice they start to look like their dying, I can throw some water on them and a promise not to wait that long again and * poof * they are green and you can't tell how close they came to compost.

Support Groups
Close Environmental Allergies
Type of allergy: Multiple Chemical SensitivityIn 1983 I was exposed to a bug killer that was taken off market 3 months later.Same summer I was caught in a mosquitoes foggier.I now react to everything from household cleaners:personal hygene.Paints,removers,glues,formaldahyd,herbacides,gas fumes. I live out side of town with very few friends, it's hard to get people to understand what affects me, and not use certian things for a little while,before being around me.My family likes my visits,no house cleaning for several days before ;)
Treatments
- Nasal Irrigation Working / Worked
- using a Nettie pot, I saw Dr. Oz on Oprah show doing a demo about it. It has really worked for me. I had tried flonase, Nasonex, nasacort in years past. I had tremendous headachs,nose bleeds and when they started to wear off the symptoms were worse than before. Benadryl dye free was the last thing I tried. Benadryl and avoidance when possible, makes things more barable
Close Fibromyalgia
I made a mistake on meds and can't seem to edit it. should read...baclofen 10mg tab. Tramadol 50mg tab 2-3 x dy. Tramadol HIC 50 or hydromorphone on bad days as needed.
Treatments
- Aqua Therapy Working / Worked
- summer of 07, we bought a 16'round-4'deep(I'm 5')easy up pool, we use it June-early Oct, big investment for us even on sale, took us until Dec. to get back in budget. We were still tweaking the chemicals to a level they can do their job and I could use the pool. That all aside I love it. I worked out almost every day, on good days several times. So much easier on me. I lost 15 lbs, found them over the winter, blah. Floating is heaven. I also took long walks around and around, beautiful scenery.
- Heat Working / Worked
- damp micro heated towls feel so good
Open Foster Care
I grew up in the L.A. county foster care, carried matching luggage=hefty's. I changed homes twice a school year for years and I felt like I never belonged anywhere. I recognized I missed quite a few important building blocks of socialization so I've taken many yrs and many mistakes to become who I am now. I try to help kids every chance I get.
