Subject: Back after a five month depression. I hope to get to know you.

Friends,

I have dealt with fibromyalgia for 19 and depression much of my life, but worse the last 19 years. I also have asthma, allergies, sensitivities and injuries from accidents(two car accidents, a bad fall, and getting hit in the head several times accidently). I also waitressed for twenty three years and did damage to my shoulder and back with all the heavy tray carrying. I loved the work and the money but not the pain in my middle age and older years.

I am 62 years old, married with three children:two sons(33 and 36 years old) and a daughter(21) years old, plus three grandchildren(3, almost 2 and almost 1 years old). I work part time as a bank teller, but I did have to ask and I did acheive shorter shifts(most at or under six hours).

I live in southern Wisconsin and I also have cataracts which will require surgery, plus my hearing is not the best and I have hypermobile joints, but my knees are the worst. I have lost 13 pounds in the past year, but have 55 pounds to go to goal and 35 to a maximum healthy weight.

Anyway, I am happy to be back and I am looking forward to getting to know the members of this group.
