About Me
First of all, I am a Christian and am expecting God to perform a miracle in my condition and give the scientists and researchers knowledge to find a cure soon. This disease has changed my life completely but I have learned to take one day at time and most importantly, that God is in control of every situation. I was not diagnosed until 03/2003 but have had symptoms since 1997. I can still drive but only for 30 minutes or less. As of Aug '07, I now use a bi-pap at night and only walk with a walker when someone is strongly holding me up.
