Hi my name is Debs! I live in Long Island,New York, USA!!! I'm Englush and Danish decent and love my roots! I have rare Blood diseases! One PV/Polycythemia Vera and APS/ ANTIPHOSPHOLIPID Antibody Syndrome! I'm a funny positive force in my life! I lost a leg due to mistreatment by Medical Community for years!

Not in this life, but for the many up and coming! I pray for them that they just don't go through what we do! I hope ur well and methotrexate helps you! Godspeed
