Welcome to LaRatt1962's World
Hello & welcome to my little home on the WWW! 
Thank you for stopping by! 
Please allow me to introduce myself ....

My name is Renee & I recently moved to Dublin, Virginia, from Houston, Texas, via Shreveport, Louisiana.  I am the oldest of 6 kids (3 girls/3 boys), ranging in age from 42 to 35.  I am the mother of two (a son-James, 22, & a daughter-Taryn, 18).  I am soon going to be a first-time grandmother to a set of fraternal twins that are due on March 1, 2005 (but they will probably be here a whole lot sooner).

I was married for 10-1/2 years and have been divorced for almost 13 years.  I am currently living in a domestic partnership with my partner of the past four years.  I am a femme lesbian, so if this bothers you, please don't preach to me about how wrong this is ... because I have heard it all before!  I am who I am ... So, if you don't agree, let's just say that we "agree to disagree".  I'm not a horrible person, & I am one of the most caring people you would ever want to meet.

The reason I started this website is so that I might be able to help others.  I live with a disease called Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS, for short).  I have had this horrible disease since 1992 (or probably earlier than that) and, because the disease is totally misunderstood by the medical community, I was undiagnosed for almost 12 years.  I was finally able to put a name to this disease in 2004, but I want to share my experiences with you & hopefully guide you some places on the internet where you can get more information & possibly some support.

In addition to the HS, I have several other ailments that maybe I can help someone by sharing my experiences with those as well.  Because I utilize the internet to my advantage in finding information, I am going to include several links to those websites that I know have some really good and useful information.

I am going to make this a little fun ... I am going to include little snippets of my life, my family, and life in general.  I enjoy surfing the internet for interesting stuff & will try to include some of my favorite spots in this site as well.   

So .....

I invite you to sit back, ENTER & have a look around!

My life is never boring!

If you like what you have seen here, or if you have a suggestion of something you would like to see here, please feel free to drop me a line!

Come back again real soon!

Renee
