Hi Everyone,

My name is Marilyn and I am 62 yrs. (young) old, depending on the day and how my Fibromyalgia/Hypothyroidism is treating me.

I am married and Sept. 4th will be our 43rd anniversary. We have 2 grown daughters and 1 super terrific grandson, 6 1/2. I enjoy fishing with DH; x-stitching when the mood arises; collecting teddy bears always ; spending time with family; flowers; and outdoor activities (campfire chats a must) and making new friends.

I am the youngest of 4 siblings (the youngest and only girl.)

I have worked retail my entire life, starting in a little dept. store in the town I grew up in when I was 15. When I married, I moved 30 miles away , applied for a job at Sears here locally and will have my 33rd year anniversary there come Oct. 1st.

I came to the Fibromyalgia group in April while awaiting to see the Rhuemy and the more I learned there, I was certain his dx was going to be 100% Fibro. Shortly thereafter, I thought ""well,if I found a Fibro Forum, I m betting there is one for Hypothyroidism"" and sure enough, yes, there is.

Being a Group Leader for these Forums is an honor for me and I promise to listen, help, console, advise ...whatever is needed.. any/all of you.I love people...I love making new friends. I love to help others in need and being a friend to all.

Together we can make this the best Forum possible.

I look forward to getting to know all of you. And, any of you may PM me anytime at all ... I am here pretty regular and will always reply .
