About Me:

I have always been a very active, goal oriented person. I used to sing and dance in musicals, work multiple jobs, go to school, cheerlead, ride my horse and lift weights. I have 3 college degrees and was starting my Master's in 1991 when I was stopped in my tracks, due to Chronic Late Lyme Disease and Progressive Multiple Sclerosis.

I have struggled with people understanding how chronic pain and fatigue can be debilitating, because to others, I "look" fine. My husband and I realized rather quickly that I am not the only person contending with this issue. Therefore, my husband Wayne founded The Invisible Disabilities Advocate. It is a non-profit organization that reaches out to people living with disabling illness, pain and injury with books, pamphlets, articles, links and a social network, My Invisible Disabilities Community.

This place is fantiastic! I will stop by when I can, but just one support group is more than I can handle and I have been a member of IDA's for over 7 years. So, please do not be offended if I don't reply to you right away.

Kudos to Lisa for yet another GREAT website!

What I hope to gain from this network...

Encouragement and support.

Have you heard of Rest Ministries or HopeKeepers?

Yes!
