Starting at the Beginning...

Isn't it the best place to start?  My name is Heather, I have several illnesses I struggle with everyday to keep an even keel.  Mainly I'll be talking about Depression, Fibromyalgia, Hearing impairment (congenital deafness in left ear, and a rare cochlea deformity called Mondini Dysplasia or Mondini Syndrome), and Diabetes.  I may eventually get in to child abuse, spousal abuse, and divorce.  I live with my husband and my two pets (Umbrella Cockatoo named Tilly and a Tri-colored holland mini-lop named Snickers) in Oregon, USA.  I also own several online support groups for people who are also going through the struggle.  I hope to post often, though life does happen outside of a computer.  I encourage you to respond to my posts; posting your thoughts, feelings, or your own struggle.  Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!

Of one thing I am certain, the body is not the measure of healing - peace is the measure.
