About Me
I am a child of God who has blessed me with a wonderful husband of 28 years and 3 fabulous children. All of my children have moved and started lives of their own which leaves me an empty nester. I LOVE to travel and play. It's been harder and harder to do these things because of all my "issues". The hardest thing I'm dealing with is trying to lose a lot of weight with all this pain. I'm looking for some sort of direction on how to do it. It seems I've tried everthing. I know that God will deliver me out of this. It's just a matter of when and how. Like a friend of mine said, "God's plan is great and majestic, but God's timing isn't human."

I was originally diagnosed with fibrmyalgia in 1990 when my kids were little. I started getting worse in 2000 and was rediagnosed. I thought I could "talk" myself out of the pain. But, this year I became an empty nester and my body just gave out. The pain, fatigue, and other issues became worse. I'm use to doing things and now I can't.
