new member - brief intro

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone, I just wanted to tell you a little bit about me. A couple of clubs asked that I give one and a couple of them didn't. I'm trying to get it taken care of with one shot. So, if I've done it already for this club, I apologize. My name is Cheryl, 30. I've been married to for 11 1/2 years. I'm a stay at home mom of 4: JR, 12; Mystie, 11; Selah, 6; and CJ, 5. We're a home schooling family. I got extremely ill in Nov. of last year and was bedridden for almost 2 months. After being bounced around from dr to dr, I developed post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD.) Most drs were telling me there wasn't anything wrong with me and that it was all in my head. There was no explanation for dropping down to 78 lb., abdominal pains, diarrhea, constipation, anemia, lethargy, etc., etc. In Feb., I was diagnosed with

CD. I've been gluten free (as best as I know) ever since. Physically, I'm doing so much better. I still struggle with not really gaining weight (I'm at 88 lb.), but I feel so much better. Although my research started the day of my diagnosis, I joined this club so I can get to know others and to learn as much as I can. I hope you all have a great week. Cheryl
