New Gal Here
 

Hello To All,
:Tip-Hat: Ok, first hats off to this site. This is awesome. I am sure to find friends, advice, and many other tricks of the trade here. :Tip-Hat:

:pMy reasons for coming are plentiful. I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, mini strokes, possible MS, bursitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and I have a severe back injury as well as asthma. I have been forced to retire from a job I love due to my health. I get depressed at times having to deal with all of this and no income or insurance. I have applied for disability and have been denied once, I am on my first appeal. :winky:

:rolleyes:I am 52 years young and feeling as if I am about 80 at times, especially when I get up in the morning. I have a ton of muscle pain, stiffness, and cramping every day I get out of bed. I suffer from much pain in my back as I have injured it severely and may have to get surgery on it. :hug:

:ROTFLMAO:There is plenty more to share, but that is all for now. I am looking forward to meeting new people. I want a few shoulders to cry on and maybe some ideas to get me through those painful days, and sleepless nights. I know this is the place to find support in many areas, as well as give it to those that need it. I love to help others. That is part of whom I am. Anyway, I really need this, especially the forum and chat.:Blush2:

:hug:Thanks again. :Heart: Peace to all. :Thank you: :Mary:hug:
