Hi, my name is Djperc!

I've been a professional drummer/percussionist and teacher for 20 years and loved it. After fighting fibromyalgia for 3 years I have had to finish all that I love to spend most of my time in bed in pain. This has also affected my family - wife and 4 children. I've always worked hard and now live solely on benefits. I feel I have lost myself and my value and at times I end up in some dark places, my family and a few friends are what keep me up. This my brief story, thank you for this community, supporting each other helps, I look forward to talking to you all.
