Grandma of three, love oil painting people and wildlife, love animals, live a vegan LIFEstyle, Run local fibromyalgia support group.  Married over 37 years.  Yeah, we were just kids.

I have so many things I want to do but can't because of severe arthritis.  Hypothyroidism put a lot of weight on me.  I mean I live a vegan/vegetarian life and can't lose weight.  I tried a lot till I got hit with severe FM and RA. 

I LOVE playing on computers.  My first job was teaching people about computers and software at a non-credited program.  I LOVED IT  Then I got a higher paying job at Ore-Ida in the Consumer Relations department.  It was a fascinating 12 years.  I went from secretary to database administrator.  Another great job!!  

After they shipped OI to Pittsburgh, I got a job at a small tech company that did some contract work with HP.  So I was put on a team at HP.  I LOVED IT  *G*  I know... I do love my jobs and the people I work with.  Still keep in touch with them too.  

So here I sit in bed or on the couch in pain from all kinds of things.  I stay involved with people and more people and try to be active running my support group.  I do a lot research on the internet on fibromyalgia.  Then I post the info I find relevant on Facebook and in my fibro group email for everyone to learn from.  I also print copies to take to meetings we have once a month.

I love helping people.
