    About Me

    I was diagnosed with Crohns disease in early Nov.. I have been in lots of pain since my symptoms started in July 2007. I have a 3 yr old daughter and she keeps me going thru all the pain.. I want her to have a mom who is happy and healthy this has been a big challenge for me I am a stay at home mom.I love animals and enjoy beautiful spring days and dream of being on the beach! acupuncture food/allergy sensitivity treatments seem to be doing the trick for me, although currently might be going into a flare, i am scared..

    Interests

    gardening, outdoor fun, animals and having fun with friends.. I love springtime.. it is my favorite time of the year!
