Hi I'm new here...
my name is Yahna which means you are not alone, and I am part native american--the Huron Potawatomi tribe outside of Battle Creek Michigan. I have been diagnosed with MS since 1988, and with CFS/Fibromyalgia since 1990. It hasn't gone well for me, and I have a fair amount of pain every day that my pain meds just don't reach. But it could be worse and I thank God every day that I get to walk around. I do use a power chair mainly outside and for long distances to save strength and energy. I have a 13 year old daughter who is the joy of my life, and I am so glad that at the age of 40, after drs said I could never have children, I found out on that Valentine's day that I was pregnant! Talk about excited and grateful! I live in Michigan, and do long to move to another state to keep warmer since I am always cold. I like to horseback ride--but I can't right now cuz I'd fall off--and I love camping and swimming and just being outside in the woods. Thankfully my daughter enjoys the same things. She is in the 7th grade this year...one more year of middle school and then on to high school...where has the time gone? I hope to make some amazing friends here, and hope that I can help as much as I am helped. That's about it for now!
