I am a stay at home mother of two beautiful daughters, and an artist.  I was formerly an architect and an art teacher.  I began having chronic pain four years ago, and was eventually diagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, Polycystic Overian Syndrome, IBS and RLS. 

After many surgeries, tests, medications, and therapies I am beginning to learn how to live a life full of pain, fatigue, and confusion.  I started up a business from home so I can work when I am having a good day, and rest when I am not. Hopefully the good days will outnumber the bad.

I appreciate the chance to share with others here, and hope to learn how others are coping with the chronic pain, and living day to day.
