About granny11

I AM A 67 year old female. I HAD TO STOP WORK 10 YEARS AGO -MAJOR DEPRESSION AND PANIC TO THE POINT I COULD NO LONGER PREFORM MY JOB. I HAD BEEN IN THE HUMAN SERVICE FIELD FOR ABOUT 30 YEARS. I NOW LIVE IN GOVERNMENT HOUSING WITH MY MALTESE-KIWI. IT TOOK ME FROM 2000 TO 2007 TO FINALLY GET A DX OF FIBROMYALGIA. SOMETIMES I THOUGHT I WAS NUTS WITH THE PAIN AND BRAIN FOG-AND NOW THERE ARE OTHER PROBLEMS. I HAD 4 CHILDREN MY ONLY SON DIED IN 2007 AFTER A BATTLE WITH CANCER-HE WAS 43. I RARELY SEE MY OTHER CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN WHICH IS HARD TO DEAL WITH SOMETIMES BUT I HAVE BELOVED FRIENDS.
