Brain Foggles(view profile)

I’m a wife and mom of two daughters. My daughters are 12 years apart so that keeps me quite busy and a little crazy at times. My life is a jumble of mixed up mishaps, but it’s always centered around my family.

The name of my blog, Brain Foggles relates to the “brain fog” or problems I have with my memory and concentration. It’s a part of my life as is the multiple chronic illnesses I have. Living with them and working around them is what I do best and intend to keep doing. I also use Brain Foggles as a term associated with being a multitasking mother, blogger and internet junkie.

You’ll find a part of me here in every post. Blogging is something that’s made me a more confident and self-aware person. So laugh, reminisce, learn and keep in touch with me in my small part of the blogoshere.

My Chronic Life(view profile)

In 2003 I was diagnosed with a major chronic illness that has changed my life. Now I can say it’s for the better. At first I was miserable, but not any more. I still have my bad days but I hope to help others from what I’ve learned.

My chronic illnesses are: Ulcerative Colitis, Myasthenia Gravis, Fibromyalgia, Sjogren’s Syndrome, Anemia, Mitral Valve Prolapse and Rhuematoid Arthritis. Most are autoimmune diseases that run in my family.

My goal in life is to be an advocate for people with disABILITIES of any kind by doing all I can to be sure that people are judged by who they are and not what they can’t do. Let’s get the word out - being chronically ill doesn’t mean you look sick!

I write about health issues, chronic illnesses, medical equipment and supplies and offering support with a bit of humor on the side.
