my introduction

[Guest guest]

Hi, I'm happy to have found your family. My name is Glenda and I am 58 years old. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia this past April after almost 12 years of going to doctor after doctor, having tests after tests, to be told nothing was wrong with me -- well, all of you are familiar with that, aren't you? I tried to continue working, but this past September, I gave in and filed for my Social Security disability. I had already cut my hours back to full time and still came home in such a state that I had no "home life" when I got here. I am very fortunate in that I have a very supportive, understanding husband (of 34 years). I also have osteoarthritis and right now going through a lot with degenerative disc disease and the OA attacking those same areas of my lower back, causing almost total numbness from my waist down due to the compression of the nerves. I look forward to being a member of this family and know that I can learn more by sharing with others who are "in the same boat." Thanks for having me!
