Welcome to all new members!!!

[Guest guest]

Welcome all, sorry for being so late in welcoming you into the group... Been a little busy here...

I'm Helen, 57, from NW Ohio... Sorry you had to find us, but glad you did... Lots of great folks on here all suffering from many different types of ailments, we have lovely care givers on here also... We make great listeners and some times what you need help with someone may be able to help you... Venting, in my opinion, is a great way to let off stress, everyone here knows what its like to be ill and how hard it is to cope... A lot of us have the invisible ailments...

I seen talk about fibro, they think I've had it since I was 11/12 years old when it didn't even have a name! and that would take it back to 1962!!! It finally got a name for me in 1993 after all the misdiagnosis I had over the years... I have not had a pain free day since 1962, I have had many ailments tagged on over the years as well, my list is at the bottom...

Again Welcome
