About Me

Well, let's see. I love music, baseball, traveling and good food. I have an immune disorder called Crohn's Disease though and it doesn't let me enjoy all the foods I love or do all the things I enjoy all of the time. I have had it for over 20 yrs. but the last 7 have been filled w/ major complications. I also just got out of a disaster of a relationship that lasted almost 2 yrs. Coincidently, those were 2 of the worst years for my illness. But since ending it, my gut has started to feel a little better. Just goes to show you, you should always trust your gut. When I'm sick, not all the time, I have to take pain med's and smoke pot in order to survive, so if this is a problem for you, I suggest you stay away. I just started a new medicine called Humira. I had been waiting almost a year to get it. So far it seems to have helped a bit. I'm real excited for the future and getting back on the road again.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Good people looking to have a good time. I'm also interested in meeting other people with Crohn's as nobody can truly understand what it's like unless they are going through it them self.
