Brain Foggles(view profile)

I’m a Christian wife and mom of two daughters. My daughters are 12 years apart so that keeps me quite busy and a little crazy at times. I do too much and have trouble keeping it together. My family and church are my priorities, but I seem to get that confused a lot. I also volunteer online, at my church and at my daughter’s school.

I have multiple autoimmune diseases: Myasthenia Gravis, Sjogren’s Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Ulcerative Colitis. As much as I don’t like to dwell on this it’s a huge part of my life that I can’t avoid.

The name of my blog, Brain Foggles relates to the “brain fog” or problems I have with my memory, concentration and doing things I did before I was diagnosed and due to the many medications I take - like keeping track of things on my calendar, balancing my checkbook, etc. Sometimes this bothers me but I’ve come to accept it. Things could be so much worse.
