I am 46 years old with a daughter in college and a daughter in junior high. My husband is partially disabled and is still trying to get over 2 back surgeries from last year. Last year (2008) was an exhausting year. This year I was diagnosed with severe hypertension (wonder why). I have fibromyalgia and work in front of the computer everyday. I live in south Mississippi where the humidity is a hindrance sometimes. I am active in our church and do some volunteer work. I have gone from being a pear shape as a young adult to being an apple. (Probably from lack of sleep, lack of strenuous exercise, and plenty of stress)

I am grateful for my family and they are all trying to grow up and become less dependent on me now that they realize that my health is suffering. God has been good to me and I am counting on Him to help me get better.
