Hi from a new member

[Guest guest]

I'm new here and just wanted to say hello... My name is Carolyn,

I'm 29, married, live in CA, I'm a musician but recently had to give

it up due to arthritis... I've had Lyme disease since age 20 and

CFS since I was 12, so basically I've been sick all my life... But

there are worse things I guess! Glad to be a part of this group

and looking forward to getting to know some folks... I don't work

so I love making new friends online

Hope everyone is having a good day -

Carolyn

you. I'm in PA, and have degenerative disk disease, peripheral neuropathy,
