In 2005, I was diagnosed with a life-threatening neurological disorder, CIDP (Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy). I had to spend a year undergoing intensive treatments and chemotherapy.
I fought back, started two companies, and am working each day at my own kind of wellness.

I am 55 years of age. My husband recently passed away of massive heart failure on Feb 3rd. I have been sick for over a month with a cold/flu thing going around. I had been coughing to the point where it would hurt in the kidney area. I would lose bladder control. I think i may have a urinal track infection as well. I have lost my voice and my ears and throat are affected as well.
I'm a retired Navy Weather Guesser who enjoys looking at clouds and sunsets. I had a radical cystectomy a year ago in September and chose to have a Neo bladder constructed .
