Introduce Yourself

I'm new here and have enjoyed the company on this forum. It gives me something to look foward to on the days I don't feel so well and that seems to be quite often lately .

I'm daisy and I live in the sweetest place, "hershey, pa". I'm 37, married to a wonderful man (he works at the chocolate factory and smells like it when he gets home...Yum. I provide job security for him. I love chocolate, it's good medicine...Lol ), and have a moody 14 year old son (puberty sucks!) from a prior marriage. I was diagnosed with sle in 1999. I have also been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, aniphospholid blood disorder, tmj, sjogrens, ibs, and asthma. I had gotten sick 6 mos after my husband and I got married.

I love animals. I have 6 birds, fish and a wonderful dog. We did have a mini zoo but I had to downsize due to my health.

I worked in the medical field for 8 years ( I lived in atlanta, georgia for almost 9 years), have a criminal justice degree, was an insurance agent for 5 years, and now work part time managing a hair salon owned by brother-in-law. I also started a christian based support group in our area about 6 mos ago.

That is the nut shell version of my life. I love taking on a good challenge but this is to much some days. I'm sure all of you know what i'm talking about. Every new day there is another new symptom or disease added to my list. At what point does it make sense to not add to that list? I guess that would be the day when the dr doesn't give me one more pill to take . Oh no, I answered my own question . Has anyone figured out that there's 12 inches of snow outside and i'm trapped in the house with "puberty boy" and there's the threat of 4 more inches............Help ok i'll stop.......I feel trapped , but have no where to go anyway ! Thank you for sticking with me on this. I hope to hear from anyone.....Please just one person.... . I'm going ......I'm scared because i'm finding humor in myself. Bye daisy
