    About Me

    Mother of 2.divorced, husband could not cope.I see a rheumatologist who wants me to participate in a sleep study.Sleep study showed no apnea, and doctor did nothing. I have fibromyalgia that has just been diagnosed within the last 2 months of my life. So now I am trying to learn all I can about the disease. Today I was in bed all day. I don't want this to be the end of me. Doctors say I can never play tennis again, I need to start swimming. I am very depressed. I want to regain my independance, be myself again. Possible?

    Interests

    I used to be a runner. Now I try to walk . I used to play tennis and bowl. Now I settle with the Wii game system.I like the computer but am first and foremost a singer/songwriter and I am working on a book. Being a mother has its rewards.I am also a Born-Again Christian.
