    • About Me

      I was diagnosed with lupus anticoagulant 2 years ago. Housewife. I have been married 33 yrs and in 1999, my depression and ocd got worse and fibromyalgia, so I had to quit, now Iam on disability and it seems now high blood pressure and everything you could name has been thru me. I love people and to teach fitness which I did 21 yrs and worked at a credit union and ran races and marathons too. Very busy huh? Well it came to a stop now, im lost and the house seems to get smaller. I tried to walk but ended up brusing my ankles. Sounds like a medical book , right? lol. hey I have to laugh sometimes cause the good days are few. But Iam thankful for them. Iam thankful for this site and the people on it. It helps to know, that im not alone, believe me if I could I would take everyones pain away, but oh well, just one day at a time is all we have.
