About Me
I have had fibro for at least 15 years and it started after a near fatal car accident.I have had very painful fibro for more than 9 years and the pain is never ending. I am always tired and that is depressing. So much to do and so little energy to do it! I am married for 36 years with 1 daughter 2 grandsons. I am Christian and my faith and my medication's are what get me thru......people without fibro do NOT understand what this hell is like!
Interests
Family, friends, music....I like... Old Gospel, Bob Dylan & George Strait, rock hunting(harder to do now)

Close Families & Friends Affected By Suicide
I have 2 nephews and they both ended their life with in a year of each other. It has been hard...because I feel like I lost my sister as well that night. Both boy belong to one sister and the last one was by hanging and she had to deal with it. I will never forget the look in her eyes that night. God I pray for her everyday! I had a neice that had a pregnant daughter. She took to much medicine and overdosed before her grandaughter was born. Recently ,I had a good friend that hung himself :(
