I live in Oregon though I was born in Minnesota and grew up many years in Philly. I am 51 and have had fibro and chronic fatigue for 14 years, and it has been a long battle with many tragedies in my life that devastated my health. In 1998, my precious son completed suicide after 6 years of unrelenting depression. He was my only child. I barely got out of bed for 5 years. In 2005, I found my fiance dead after a night of binge drinking even though he had diabetes. I was again devastated, but I am a Christian and the Lord has gotten me through everything.
