My introduction

Hi,
Let me introduce myself, my name is Cheryl and I am currently from Zephyrhills, FL. I would like to tell you a little bit about myself so that we can get to know each other a little. I am originally from New Jersey and yes I miss it more than you can know. Sounds sick doesn't it? I have two children my son Craig is 24 and my daughter Kelly is 23 and my granddaughter is Bri'onna 3. Kelly is Bri's mom and both of their birthdays are May 1st.

I was a high school drop out and found drugs and alcohol to be better than math or history. That was back in my teens and early 20's. My kids came along and all that stopped. I guess through other blogs you find out more about the rest of my life.

I currently have rheumatoid arthritis, yes incurrable and progressively gets worse. My neurologist is hesitant to diagnose multiple sclerosis but I suffer from ataxia (an inablity to maintain your balance) so therefore I walk with a walker and use a wheelchair when needed. Today has been a really bad day as far as the ataxia, so I am staying seated. The rheumatoid arthrits treatments I was getting had to be stopped because of the increase in my liver enzymes. Can you say pain? I have other problems as well especially pneumonia, I have had it 6 times in the last 9 months, partly due to asthma. I am only 46 years old, and I feel like 100.

I would like to use this blog to communicate with others in the same position but also to help you find answers. I also just like to blog. So let's talk.

Cheryl
