Erin:

i have fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, graves disease (all 3 autoimmune), possibly MG (still not DX'd), migraine disease, and then to round it all out I'm in menopause.

I gave up teaching this coming year in order to try and figure out what is going on with my body. Teaching, running a household, and monitoring my children's activities was just too much. I came home everyday and had to take a nap. My hubby (bless his heart) came home each day and made supper because I was too exhausted.

I just want to know what is going on so I can try and reclaim my life. I'm 48 and don't like feeling like an old woman.

Thanks for the encouraging words. I have read what is happening with you and appreciate the fact that even though you are having a rough time you still can encourage others. I think you must have the gift of encouragement.

Thanks,
Shannon

It is so frustrating - they still don;t know what all is going on with me and why I keep crashing, but I REFUSE to let this illness get me down - b/c then it has WON!

The ONLY positives that have come from this are that I' have met people like you and am so much more appreciative of my life. That is it!

What other autoimmune problems are you having? How are YOU today? Are you feeling better?

Love,
Erin
