Hello, I am Terry Boggins. I would like to share my journey through poor health. My health concerns began as a young adult when severe fatigue set in. I was unable to lift my head or keep my eyes open some days due to an unknown illness. Other days, I felt perfectly fine and wondered what was causing the intense fatigue. When nausea and vomiting started to accompany the tired feelings, I sought help from a doctor. I went through years of tests without an answer, all while the symptoms continued to worsen. Eventually, I required home health care to cope with my condition. The home health care team changed the way I live my life. I was suddenly able to participate in my care in a meaningful way. I will discuss information about home health care services and tools in great detail on this site. Thank you.
