Hello!
My name is Jaz and I'm new to this circle! Thanks for accepting me. 😊
I am a 55 year old, new divorceé & mother of one young adult son (24 years old) living in the DFW Metro area.
I am excited to be here and to have the opportunity to learn more useful information on how to better manage my health while gaining tools to help me advocate for myself even better with my healthcare providers.
My health journey can be a bit complicated at times. I have been living with a very unpredictable chronic inflammatory disease called Sarcoidosis for almost 20 years. A year after that diagnosis, I ended up having a hysterectomy due to fibroids (but kept my ovaries). Now I am enjoying (not really 😏) the crazy surprises that my unwanted "companion" menopause 😜 keeps springing on me ... Lack of sleep, mid-section weight gain, lack of energy (which is a combo of Sarc & Meno), lack of focus, etc.
So, with all of that said, I'm looking forward to learning useful tips that will hopefully help mitigate some of these challenges as well as connecting with other women who are sharing in this journey.
