I am 45 yrs old and I live in a SW suburb of Minneapolis. I am originally from Ohio so all my family and friends are located there. I am married with 2 kids and 2 dogs. My son is a US Marine and my daughter is a college sophmore. I have been struggling with an autoimmune (connective tissue) disease since my children were younger. A recent diagnosis of Primary Biliary Cirrhosis/Cholangitis (PBC) - another autoimmune disease - has brought on more health issues for me. However, I am determined to try to eat healthier and exercise as much as possible to prevent more destruction.   Nishele
