If I Didn't have my Crafts I Wouldn't be Here Today by Linda Chilcott

 

I read Lisa Rojas story about Crohn's disease, what a great person to pull herself up and keep starting over.  (April 12, 2010 post)

 

Lisa and I met at a workshop with Maki n Clay we started talking and she shared her health problems with me.  Little did I know Lisa has Fibromyalia also.

 

In the class I was having a Fibro attack, but would not tell anyone what was wrong.  It took me twice as long to finish my project than anyone else.  This was not good just being a new designer, Lisa came over sat next to me and we just started talking like we knew each other for along time.  I asked, Lisa to please be my mentor and she said, YES!  I felt all the stress melt away after that.

 

If I could please ask if you to put two important other health problems on your web page.   I have Hemochromatosis and Sjogren's (show-grins) you would not believe how many millions of people have these other health issues that goes along with Fibromyalia.  If  I didn't have my crafts and being a designer I wouldn't be here today, even on my web page I try to get women to not give up because of Fibromyalia.  Doing the crafts and designing really helps by letting me relax and keeping my mind busy in a positive direction
