    • About Me

      I had been in a coma for 3 months with Encephalopathy & Epstein Barr Virus. It has left me with Fibromyalgia & Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. My doctors had to put me on many prescriptions to regulate some body functions and this caused me to put on quite a bit of weight. I am now beginning to come off the meds because I am getting better (slowly), but I am excited about this! I have to lose 100lbs. & could use all the support I can get. My husband, son, mother & sister are all very supportive, but more help doesn't hurt anything & that is why I am looking here.

      I truly love reading, working through my e-mail, posting on forums, running a support group for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, spending quality time with my husband & son, playing games with my son...that's about it because I sleep 12-16 hours per day so I can only fit so much in.

      I had been in a coma for 3 months from Encephalopathy & Epstein Barr Virus. I ended up with Fibromyalgia & Chronic Fatigue Syndrome from it. My doctors put me on many meds to straighten out body functions I was having trouble with & I put on alot of weight. I want to lose 100lbs & feel better about myself & get healthy again. I could use all the support I can get.
