- About Me
  
  I BELIEVE IN RESPECT! ex-L.P.N.(NURSE)Crohn's colitis since 2004 mostly in remission with meds, herbal supplements, and vitamins and diet controlled. I live day by day and try to keep my stress level on an even keel. I like my computer and doing research on it to keep up to date on the medical part of my life that 2 back surgeries and a diagnosis of Fibromyalgia Syndrome and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ME stopped me from working. HAD FM/ME FOR 30 YEARS BUT ONLY DIAGNOSE 20 YEARS AGO! I also like swimming, and listening to books on tape. I also have Post Traumatic Rape Stress Syndrome, Anxiety and Panic Attacks from PTRSS; Depression, Asthma, and Allergies and Hiatus Hernia
