Within days I will be back on the phone lines at PEP. It's funny how everything is coming back to me. I have missed my family, but it was a decade that was needed away from the scene. My daughter was growing up, my health was changing.

I know I've mentioned my health in other places, perhaps this is a good time to talk about it.
Physically, I have several conditions and many are related to each other. I have 3 Autoimmune disorders - Fibromyalgia, Psoriatic Arthritis (very similar to Rheumatoid) and the Psoriasis that goes with it. I also have Osteoarthritis and am hypothyroid. Put all of those together and you get someone whose bones and cartilage, muscles and tendons all work against each other. I was diagnosed with the fibro 8 years ago and the psoriatic arthritis 7 years ago. They are chronic pain conditions that I deal with every day. But the pain comes and goes, sort of like a rollercoaster. Prescription medicines only help so much, so much of it is my managing my pain.
There are also psychiatric disorders of bipolar and anxiety...those have been with me so long it's not even a big concern. These have been managed with a cocktail of drugs for a very long time. I'm a fairly even tempered person as far as "regular" life goes. This is my admission of life, and it will probably be the last time I speak of it. But I am an honest person and always will.

Now.... if you want to enter into the life of Maeve... you get a strong independent woman who knows what she wants, when she wants it! This is the person I was 10-15 years ago as Lady Maeve - Dominant and this is the person as Maeve that you see now.
