About Me
I am a wife and a mother, a sister and a daughter. I am more than the Fibromyalgia. I was diagnosed about a year ago. The pain is still not under control so we keep trying different things. I recently got a pup so I have company while my husband is at work. She has really helped me in more ways than I can say.

Hug
Cchipman,
I don't know of anyone who has not been impacted by the terrible mess that is the economy, and the war that we are in. When you add unrelenting pain and disability to the mix it sometimes feels so overwhelming. Thank you so much for the gentle hug. God knows, we all could use those.
Ciao & Shalom, hurtin'
