    About Me

    I'm a single mom of an 11 yr.old boy.I recently bought my 1 st home.I have FM, RA, Degenerative disc disease.I had neck surgery 6yrs ago.I'm in alot of pain most of the time.I try and deal with it the best I can.I've tried tons of different meds, most don't work for me.Most of the time I have an acceptance of how I am now but I do have days where I grieve to be my "old self".I have fought depression my whole life.I was in a severe car accident when I was 7 yrs. old and now believe I've had FM my whole life.

    Interests

    Well, I love to sew, crochet, garden, feed birds, play cards, use my computer, write music, play guitar.I love C.S.I. shows and movies.I love to be in the sun and water. I love to swim.Most of the things I love I can't do very much due to how I feel.I try and do as much as I can when I'm able.
