Hello Everyone!!! :wavesmile:I have been here for a while just lurking in the background but I've finally decided to start posting & say hello.I have multiple autoimmune disorders including Lupus,FMS,MS?,NASH (liver disease),Syndrome X,Heart problems PSVT,Pericarditis & Endocarditis,Seziures,& multiple other illnesses but there just too many to list them all.Those are just the severest.
I am a mother of a beautiful daughter who is my world.I am also a Firefighter & Paramedic.But I'm not able to work because of my healt but I am able to volunteer on the days I feel up to it.I have been dealing w/different autoimmune problems since I was a small child but was finally dxed about 15yrs ago.Things started going down hill even worse when I got pregant w/my daughter 11yrs ago & things have just gotten so much worse faster since.The thing is that everytime they dx one thing they find something else to add to the list.Lucky me,right?? I have multiple different specialist who are handling my care.I don't have very many people that I can talk to about what all I'm going through,feeling,thinking, that know & understand what is happening to me.I am starting to have a harder time accepting the things that are happening & going on w/me.I'm just not sure what to do anymore.With as hard as things are on me I know that they are harder on my family but especially my daughter & b/f.I have been sick all of my daughters life so she's never known anything else.Even so I know it is taking a toll on her as well.
That is enough about me.I decided to start posting because I have seen how nice,carring,supportive,& helpful all of u are.I would like to be more part of this group.I look forward to talking & getting to know u all better.Thanks in advance for reading this.I hope u all have a wonderful week.
