About Me
I am 63 yrs. old and I enjoy the simple life. I live in southern Michigan and hate the winter months! We are planning a move to Georgia in about a year. My husband is in remission from non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and is doing great. I have three grown kids who are my life, but the best job I have at the moment is that of "grandmother". There is nothing more rewarding than seeing my grandchildren grow and learn. The book that I have written is now available. If you want any information on it, please message me.
Interests
I love to clean house..and in the summer I work in my yard. I have so many interests that I could never list them all. I love to read, do crosswords, Sudoku, surf on the computer, and lunch with girlfriends. I love shopping and am a QVC "addict". I also love to write and have recently written a book entitled God Is In The Details...available at Trafford.com and Amazon.com. I have copies as well if you want one autographed!

Close Fibromyalgia
I was diagnosed with Fibro about 8 years ago...I have had a pretty mild case. I do feel tired most of the time and can't sleep for the pain in my back and hips. Some days are harder than others.
Treatments
- Acupuncture Working / Worked
- I'm a true believer
- Cymbalta Not Working
- I think Cymbalta is the worst medication for me. The withdrawal was unbelievable...I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
- Elavil Not Working
- Terrible for me...I wanted to sit and stare into space 24/7...I would prefer the pain to becoming a Zombie
- Massage Working / Worked
- This is the best treatment for me. Too bad I can't afford it more often!
Close Non-hodgkin's Lymphoma
My husband was diagnosed with Mantle Cell Lymphoma in 2004..he had agressive treatment at MD Anderson in Houston TX...and is in remission now for a year. I would enjoy hearing anything you have to share as far as your experiences with Lymphoma
Open Diabetes Type 2
I was diagnosed with type 2 about 8 years ago...at first I controlled it with diet, then went on Metformin which I struggled with for a year..and then just decided to contol it as best I could without medications. That ended about 2 yrs ago. I was on Avandia for a while then switched to Actos. The Actos was discontinued two months ago and since then I have not taken any medication. I need to start on something soon, but the side effects are all so alarming to me.
Treatments
- Actos Working / Worked
- Had to stop taking it
- Amaryl Not Working
- Didn't work for me
- Avandia Working / Worked
- Worked in the beginning but I had too many problems with it
- Januvia Not Working
- Didn't do the job for me
- Metformin Too Soon to Tell
- I recently went back on this medication and it's too soon to tell if it will give me the same bad effects as it did before. I am running out of options fast.
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- This is always good, but I have to get committed to doing this on a regular basis.
Open Caregivers
I was caregiver to my father for over two years. He passed away in 2004 just one month before I found out my husband had cancer. He is now in remission, but I have had my fair share of caregiving....it's the hardest job in the world, but it has so many rewards.
Open Skin Cancer
Type: Basil Cell CacinomaI had MOHS surgery two years ago for Basal cell on my nose. It turned out good. I had to also have a skin graft because it was so large. From the outside it looked so small...just a speck, but I guess underneath was the size of a quarter. I am glad I had it checked when I did.
Open Psoriasis
Affected Areas: Psoriasis of the SkinI have had small spots of psoriasis for about 10 years or longer. Never knew what kind. It comes and goes. I never have more than 5 or 6 spots. The steroid creams take care of it most of the time. I also have scalp psoriasis but not often. I have only had that a few times.
Treatments
- Coal Tar Working / Worked
- nothing special
