Ms. Heather

My name is Heather, I am a mommy of three and married to my husband for going on nine years. After two blood tests and a biopsy, I was recently diagnosed with Celiac. I also have been blessed with firbomyalgia and who knows what else! All this resulting from a combination of really great genetics and a Subclass IgG defeciency. I say blessed because when you try to look at the glass full, which is what I do, I feel that there could be so many other horrible things, so although a huge challenge I feel blessed. Yes sometimes I am a bit frusterated or down, expecially when the firbo flares but I guess I just try to pull myself up and move on. I love to, write, cook and go camping with my family. I also love music, friends and good wine. I used to love a good dark beer but not anymore. I work and go to school as much as I can. I work with Head Start, the children and the families. Besides my family, school is my passion, I am really into anthropology and getting more into human service work. It feels so good to help others. I have over come quite a few challenges in life and just try to keep my chin up when the next one comes along. My son just recently had a positive blood test for Celiac. He is going in for his biopsy in a few weeks. He has a total IgA defeciency and a Subclass G. After doing my homework and being diagnosed myself I decided I better have him checked. I am bummed about his positive test he is only eleven, but I know I must keep it together. So thats a little about me. I will say one thing there is nothing nice about missing out on brownies!
