About Me

I'm a 48 year old mother of 4 and grandmother of 5. For the past 26 years, I've enjoyed sharing my life with my wonderful husband. For the past 10 years, we have both had to deal with my pain, fatigue, and depression. I have been diagnosed with all the following, most of which are interrelated: FMS, CFS, IBS, RLS, sleep apnea, insomnia, clinical depression, migraine headaches, and asthma. In the past 7 years, I have had a hysterectomy, carpal tunnel surgery on both wrists, and a double cervical fusion (that did not work and paralyzed one of my vocal chords). I'm a mess, but know that I am so blessed! I love my family so much and am grateful to know Jesus as my Lord and Savior...He gives me hope, peace, and strength. I attend Celebrate Recovery and have a fabulous support group. The reason I am joining this support group is to specifically address the FMS and find out what is working for you. I'm looking at IV treatments, but they are soooo expensive. Do they work or am I setting myself up to be a disappointed guinea pig once again?
