I am a draftswoman/cad person. I do drafting on a
computer. I've done civil, electrical, architectural and mechanical
drafting as well as inside sales, estimating, and taught a blue print
reading class at a vo-tech school at night to adults.

Personal Story
|
I became ill in 94 after the death of my mother. It
started with "dizzy" spells (balance and drop in blood
pressure/heart rate) and grew to include dyslexia, digestive problems,
vision problems, hearing problems, brain processing abnormalities, seeing
colors. Things that made me wonder if I was losing my mind or having a bad
trip on drugs (I do not and never have done drugs, but figured this must be
what a "bad" trip was). ŬI would not wish this disease on my
worst enemy.

Special
Interests
|
I read about everything, archaeology, history, medicine,
current best sellers, anything that catches my eye. I do a lot of research
on the internet on Chronic Fatigue and the long term affects on the organs
and heart. I have probably read at least 10 of the top books on Chronic
Fatigue to date.
