Welcome Penny. I have been here for several months. It is a great group. I

sure understand what you mean about stress. Stress is my #1 enemy. It makes

me flare alot of the time. I just have to put up with it I guess. If it were

not for my medication, I don't know how I would be able to work.

I am Penny, 57 years old, married for 35 years to Chuck, with two adult

sons(32 and 28 years old) and a sweet 16 year old, . I still work at

a lowly paid ($6.75 per hour and I have a college degree) part-time retail

job because I am too ill for fulltime and the stress involved. My job is at

an upscale children's store in a resort area. It is low stress 9 months of

the years and high stress in the summer. I am very good at it...

I enjoy reading, watching movies, singing, doing community theater(small

roles at this point) and talking to people. I also draw, paint and do

murals and I am pretty good at facepainting and reading to children.

I have fibromyalgia, hypermobile joints, asthma, allergies, sensitivities

and problems with TMJ and IBS. I do the best I can, everyday, and some

days it is really hard for me emotionally, because I still have not

totally made peace with my illness. Everytime I make peace, I get sicker

and then have to do it all over again...Hugs, Penny
