Ok, here is my second attempt at writing an entry.  My very first entry at that.  Kind of discouraging.  Ah well...life goes on. 

I ran across this site while doing some research on natural approaches to Fibromyalgia.  After searching around the site for awhile I figured it looked like a place I could gain a lot of info and support as well as give it.  

My life thus far has been anything but simple.  Kind of ironic since I choose to live my life the simple way.  Hmmm...  never realized how odd that sounds.  Some of the things that have effected my life are:

Trauma and Abuse

Medical Issues

Multiple Marriages (and Divorces)

Weight Struggles

Domestic Violence

You can kind of tell what trials and tribulations I have had to deal with (or am dealing with) by looking at what support groups I am in.  I have spent the better part of today signing up for various support groups I thought I could benefit from and where I can meet others that have gone through (or are going through) the same things.  After spending MANY years on meds and seeing various docs for various reasons...I decided to quite all the prescription meds I was on (the side effects were killing me...literally) and try a more natural approach.  So far...so good.  Please know I do not judge anyone on how they chose to approach or treat whatever they are going through.  To each his own and I respect that.   

My fingers are tired and I need to hop in the shower to get ready for a meeting tonight with T (fiance).  I'm sure I'll be back tomorrow to start reading more on the groups and posting and hopefully meeting some new friends!  :)

Off for now.....
