I am 30 years old, and actually live in Las Vegas! We moved here last fall. I have an autoimmune disease and have been very sick, every day for about five years. We moved to Orlando four years ago and I had no idea that my disease would be the least of my worries. I became sicker and sicker and it turns out I was nearly poisoned to death by mold in not one, but two of our apartments. There were months where I was hardly able to even walk to the bathroom. We decided to move to Vegas because of how dry it is, with no chance of mold. I am recovering now, I am able to go shopping now and have fun in the casinos! It will be a very long road ahead of me, and I will never be back to full health but I am so happy to be alive!
I wanted to attend the convention in Orlando but was too ill to walk that much. Now that it is in Vegas, it would be a wonderful event for me to attend! Since I stay home most days while my boyfriend works, I don't know anyone in town. It would be great to be around like-minded folks who I can talk to about my hobby! I love to do contests and sweepstakes because it offers hope of what tomorrow might bring!
