Hi Denise

I am Donna, and have 3 sons, two which are grown and have a son each.
And one has 3 like step daughters which I call my granddaughters.

My third son is 17 and has epilepsy and has been a real challenge at times.
He is a wonderful young man and I'm so proud of him. He overcomes obstacles in his life daily. From bullies at school, seizures at school and lowering of his IQ every year. Its been a rough thing for mom to understand
for the truth.

I'm a Regional Program Specialist which is just a specially neat title for a parent advocate in Indiana I handle 5 counties in my part of the state.

I too have lots of issues with my health. I had many as a child, and thought
okay I wont have to worry as a adult they are gone. Little did I know they would just return to haunt me.

I have gastroenlogical reflux disease, ulersititus colitis, abnormality in my brain, fibromyalgia, bulges in my neck, and many others I can't even think
straight. Life just finds more each day, and my husband is always just
saying you like to spend money going to the doctor.

So I just quit telling him when I have to do things, unless I need a ride.
Then sometimes I have to depend on others anyway. He is a believer
you create your own problems.

But anyway, I have mainly just a group of co-workers that care. ANd a family that isn't close to my home. But they care. And then a internet
home of friends in a forum here. ANd then I look for more daily. SO join my
group. And know I might forget to check in, but frequently visit the bi-polar
group because they are one of the friendliest most active groups. That
welcome friends.

Donna
