From my Journal entry: January 16, 2020

Hello,
I am 67 going on 60 :) I worked 6 months past my retirement, not long, ... loved working, loved the people I worked with but after 15 years it was time to go. That was May 2018. Retirement was perfect ...

I started getting sick May 2019. I had no idea what was happening to me. Just a feeling of fatigue and tightness in my legs and lead feet. It became much worse as time went by. Well, come December I couldn't manage to climb stairs, or stand more than 5 minutes. The pain had become over-whelming, it kept me up all hours of the night. I checked myself into ER the first week of December. I was diagnosed with a chronic autoimmune disease called Vasculitis - ANCA MPA. One of the symptoms is weight loss and a loss of appetite to the point of becoming anorexia. I am a small lady .... and really couldn't afford to lose any weight. I lost almost 15 pounds. I came home from the hospital skin and bones at 90 pounds.

I am so glad to find fatsecret to help me on my next journey, hopefully to remission.
