Hiya!! I am Jenn, 36 years old with two wonderful kids aged 14 and 16, Pat and Kelly. I am currently separated in the process of getting my divorce finalized. I live with my mom due to my numerous health issues (mostlly for safety's sake)
What is wrong with me? Okay..here goes ;)
I have muscle disease that affected my respiratory muscles, I now live on a vent nearly full time. I work very hard to do as much as possible for myself and my kids...
I also have atypical CF (cystic fibrosis) which caused sticky mucous in my lungs and other places resulting in chronic infections requiring frequent runs of antibiotics. Yummy!! I also do chest physio twice a day to loosen the junk in my lungs as well as neb many meds.
My joints are also shot...I have collagen vascular disease, mainly Ehlers Danlos syndrome which results in repeated dislocations, joint pain, Raynaud's, strange skin, easy scarring etc...
My thyroid has taken a beating too..I have Hashimoto's, an autoimmune disorder that kills the thyroid. I take replacement hormone for that.
Arrythmias-SVT (supraventricular tachycardia)
Pancreatic insufficiency (take enzymes to digest my food)
Diabetes (require insulin)
GERD...the list could go on and on so I will stop now. About now, you get the idea that my body is a mess, but my mind is not (well, that has been debated LOL)
Hobbies: I love to read...anything (except those stupid romance novels), enjoy my computer, drawing (starting to paint as well), I love my family and friends, I love a good funny movie...I also enjoy warm, sunny days.
Well, that's enough about me...I am glad to meet you! Hugs, Jenn :)
