On Suite 101, you will find information close to her heart. As a savvy business woman, Dana negotiated the best price for her home. When she settled in to her new home office to write she entertained her little one with online toddler games and long-lasting activities for her then one-year-old. As her little one grew, she longed for the company of other moms and of course playmates for her little one so she learned how to start a toddler playgroup. In her group - Dana shared new found activities for her then two-year-old.

Talking to other moms - Dana discovered that having kids isn't all fun and games. She learned that many women looking to have a second child experience gender disappointment and some, like herself end up having missed periods after the birth of their first child, sometimes leading to secondary infertility.

But, losing weight with Nintendo's Wii Fit helped her to overcome her estrogen dominance and jump start her cycle! Especially when she followed it up with a diet designed to overcome estrogen dominance. During this hard time, it helped to make new girlfriends. She took some time to make friends and follow the rules of female friendship. She made some great friends, but when she got into an argument with one of her dearest girlfriends she had to learn how to handle her friendship breaking up.

Good thing she made it through. She had a lot to deal with and often experienced fibromyalgia flare up ultimately deciding to adjust some of her fibromyalgia perscription medication, Additionally, she gathered the best resources on fibromyalgia online before going to her doctor. In over a decade of living with the disease, she started to wonder what she was suffering from could actually be the controversial illness - Lyme Disease.
