    About Me

    I am an easy going person who loves to laugh. I was a working professional until the CFS hit. I am now a stay at home mom who battles to get out of bed every day. On top of it all - I have two kids with ADHD. Meds are working for them but they tend to get up early and that does not help me at all...

    Interests

    Laughing, smiling, a good lemon drop, dancing, a great conversation over a cup of coffee...my kids and all their activities...Oh - I am very sarcastic and love being that way! :)

    • Close Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

      I always figured being tired all the time was because I was a working mother of three. Little did I know that the mono (EB) the cute boy in high school gave me would cause CFS later in life. I have always been in pain, as long as I can remember back, always figuring it was because I did too much. Now I am realizing my body is not my own and other people do not live in constant pain. Now it is on to LTD and all the fun applying for that is. I can not get out of bed most days...
