About Me

Here's a Mini Bio so you know a little about me. 

Hey readers, my name is Sharon Gerdik, nee Shanley. I was born in NYC. Loved that experience. Moved out to Bethpage, Long Island, NY.  I graduated in 1967.  I attended St John's University for a little over a year. I had a terrible car accident in Nov 1968 and missed so much of school, I did not return. I began work for New York Telephone Co in Manhasset, NY, in Feb 1969.  In Nov '69, CWA Union called a strike. I was attending the meeting and two guys were seated in front of me. I was with a large loud group. One of the guys in front turned to ask me a question. He asked if I knew what was going on. I asked if he was a A**hole or something. How could he attend a strike meeting and not know what was happening. Turned out he had only attended Installer School for one day. The second day he was told to attend the meeting. Five months later at work, I was on the phone helping an installer find a new wire/pair to switch a line to. You guessed it. He says to me "I think we've met before".  I ask where. He says the union meeting. I responded "Oh you're the A***hole who didn't know why you were there". We were married in Oct of 1972 and still going. Our son was born in April '74 and our daughter was born on Fathers Day '78.  Life has been good.

My husband accepted a transfer from NY Telephone Co to Pacific Bell back in 1978. We left NY and became CA residents on Feb 15, 1979. We lived in Escondido, Northern San Diego County. I worked at a trauma center in Escondido. The first 10 years in the Dept of Nursing but the last 11 years I managed a Physician Peer Review Database for 350 physicians. I left there after 21 years and went to work at a start-up Diabetic Biotech Firm. I was the only Diabetic that worked there. I'm a Type 1 since 1985.  There I worked as a Diabetes Advocate/Product Specialist to inform/ educate diabetics, as well as all healthcare professionals, in a new diabetic biotech device.  Provided clinical, technical and marketing support. Helped with insurance/managed care approval, appeals and all advocacy issues. Worked with Regulatory Affairs and R&D. Demoed product at Health Fairs and in-serviced medical professionals. Served as well on a Corrective Action Board to address product complaints and to assist in product development. I loved what I was doing and I was great at it but the company decided to move up to the Anaheim area which would've been over a 2 hour drive in each direction. I worked for a while from home but then it just wasn't fulfilling anymore. I checked the job ads and found an executive position at a private psych hospital. The CEO had just started there and was looking to fill key positions. He and I hit it off and we were a good fit. I worked directly with him and the Medical Staff. We worked well together for 7 years but I decided to retire in 2010 when I turned 60. My husband had already retired from AT&T in Dec 2003. My  husband and I put our home on the market and it sold in 3 days. We were not prepared for that. I gave my 30 day notice. My husband packed up our home and we left for TN.  It was bittersweet to leave Escondido, CA, after almost 32 years but it was time to leave CA. When we moved there, it was Paradise. When we left it was Hell. 

Moving to TN was a new experience. We had family there and we made many new friends. We built a beautiful home outside of Murfreesboro, which is just outside of Nashville. Our home in CA we had built by a builder with my husband doing many upgrades during construction. But the TN home, we built it. Our son was the contractor and we chose everything. It was a dream come true.  During the six years we were there we took advantage of TN bordering eight states and did some traveling. It was fun but my husband decided he wanted to move back west again but definitely not CA.  We chose to move to AZ,  My husband did the home searches and our son and daughter-in-law, who lives in Chandler, AZ, checked them out. That was the best way to search from TN. They found one that was the floorplan we all loved, in the community we wanted. We purchased it. When we closed on our TN home, we had the funds wired to AZ.  Now we were AZ residents and homeowners as of July 1, 2016. 

We love living here but I've had lots of health issues. Not because of AZ but most likely due to age and who knows what else.  

In 2017, I had a Right Reverse Total Shoulder Replacement. In 2018, I started the year with an extensive surgery on my left carotid artery, then had multiple surgeries on both hands and then ended the year with surgery for a left fractured ankle. In 2019, I had a total of 6 surgeries, One on my left hand and 5 on my cervical spine. My reason for giving this extensive list of procedures is to show that I know what pain is. 

I started looking into CBD products and discovered there are major manufacturing differences. I became familiar with a company named HempWorx and researched further and found they do more than your average CBD product mass producer. HempWorx products are made from industrial hemp plants grown on American farms. Cannabidiol  (CBD), a constituent that naturally occurs in industrial Hemp, is just one of over 85 cannabinoids that is identified in the cannabis plant. HempWorx uses CO2 to extract the oil from the plant resulting in a solvent free, pure extract. They believe in 100% transparency with their Customers and Affiliates. Every batch of product they produce gets sent out for third-party testing before their Customers receive their products. This is their Quality Commitment. A product you can count on each and every time.  

Their extensive line of CBD products, include Oils w/THC and without THC, Topicals, Pet Products, CBD Coffee and Creamers,  Gummies, Skin Products,  Bath Bombs, Oral Sprays for a variety of daily needs, Mantra Essential Oils, Hair Products and CBD Health Supplement Softgels, including Melatonin for a great night sleep. 

I started using the CBD Gummies and found remarkable relief in my lower back, neck and shoulders. It seems to be getting even better with continued use. I had been living on Tylenol Extra Strength Rapid Release Gel Capsules previously. These gummies have no THC and come in Lemon, Orange and Grape. Also no THC means no worries with drug screening. Remember some chronic issues will take longer to see relief but it should get better. I also now alternate my CBD Gummies with a Full Spectrum CBD Oil Peppermint flavored. It's important to know that many CBD GUMMIE  brands on the market that say they contain C•B•D are actually only coated and not infused. Each HempWorx CBD Gummy has 10mg of infused CBD. It is best to suck on the gummies to get the full effect. After a short time in your mouth it will start to break apart and then you should totally chew all of the pieces remaining. These CBD gummies are consistent in size, shape and contents. 

HempWorx not only ensures third party  testing but offers a 100% sixty day empty bottle money back guarantee. HempWorx is 100% committed to staying on the cutting edge of science and nutrition technology with their life changing products. From the purest and most natural ingredients, to their world class manufacturing facilities, HempWorx is a brand you can count on backed by a company you can trust. You cannot go wrong. 

I recently ordered the CBD Dog Treats to see how my dogs will do with them. These products are amazing and I feel much better using them than OTC pain relievers. My PCP said these products are much safer to use than opiates.
