Guest guest Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 Hi! I am a site moderator, but not a very active one. I read all the posts up until Sunday morning and then had a busy sunday and was extra sick on Monday so I did not go on line. I had probably 500 posts to read. Thank goodness, I read on the site.....I should have taken notes as they all blend in a bit. Well, I have asthma, exzema, depression and fibromyalgia. I also have TMJ and some problems with IBS plus carpal tunnel. I have worked at least part-time with this disease, but it is not always easy. I am very thankful for my husband's insurance, but my med costs still ad up. I worked as a freelance newspaper correspondent and put in about 20 hours a week until August. I got extra sick for about 2 months and stopped submitting. It is a frustrating type of work as you only get paid based on what runs, so I am looking for something else at this time. I am too ill to work fulltime, which I did until March 2003. I have had fibromyalgia for about 10 years, diagnosed for four years. My biggest problem is the unpredictablity of this disease..... For fun, I do a bit of community theater, but only small roles as I am not in the best of health. My daughter-13 years old- also does this. We are both in a Christmas Musical-our first practice is next Monday. I am 54 years old, married to Chuck for 32 years. Besides , we have two grown sons. , 29 years old and , 26 years old. is in Seattle and is in New York City. I will try to be a more contributing person on this site in the future.
