A freedreaming gal with a love for coffee. I love the simple things in life and try not to take things for granted. I've been around the block, around the country, and think I'm settling down now....I work as a companion animal specialist for Petco and truely enjoy my job. I have been blessed to work with many fantastic, knowlegable people and have been able to guide a few along the way. As a mother of four of the best kids ever, I'm usually busy and running on empty. I was born an active, quiet kid, who turned rebellious and outspoken....and have landed somewhere in the middle now with a brain that never wants to stop. I've been labeled a dreamer, usually lost in my thoughts. In the sun is where you'll find me now (weather permitting in this state).Most of you who know me, know that I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia...something that has stolen a good portion of my life because of chronic pain and a host of other horrible symptoms. Three years went by, and I finally had Lyme disease show up in my bloodwork. I have been on antibiotics for nearly 6 months. I try to keep my chin up and take each moment as it comes...make the best of it. I have had more energy and a little less pain, still hoping that I will not have to live like this for the rest of my life. Lately, I have also had some knee trouble and going to physical therapy 2 times a week. I have to use a cane and wear a brace...frustration has taken over some days as I just want a pain free life. Is this related to Lyme disease? I think so...left untreated as it was, it has likely destroyed a lot of soft tissue. I still work and cook and clean, but am always in pain, and likely overdo it every single day. I am sick of taking pills for breakfast, lunch and dinner just so I can function. I'm also trying to explore other possible treatments and get back to the person I am in my head....the outdoorsy, traveling, sporty, active, spontaneous, dancing girl.....she's still there, but my body says no...
~For those of you who know someone with this illness, please, please, please, take it very seriously...research when you can and understand the agony. That's all I can say about that. Lyme disease is everywhere and it destroys lives...I consider myself lucky to have a doctor that has researched and given me so much hope. Many do not and will not, and because of this, many people are suffering....including another in my family and one of my dearest friends.I used to write a lot... kinda got back into it after meeting an inspiring person, but have lost it again....mostly because I feel like crap and have the attention span of a flea. Songwriting, poetry, writing about nothing at all....I remember those days and hope they return.Am I married, no...in love, yes...And that's me in a nutshell.I love to sing, write, laugh, and sit in the sun on a cloudy day.
