Eleven years ago, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I have two very close friends who suffered with this, one very special friend, Cathy Dukes of Vancouver Washington had this too, the big thing is that got sepsis in her system and had passed away, this is very hard on me that she has passed on as she was my rock in many ways through this illness. In 2010, I got nuerapathy in both legs/ This is and has been a real challenge for me, and a deteriorating back disc, this challenging every day, but through the grace of GOD.  i will carry on. My parents Harvey and Martha Holderman faced many trials, but always came through.
