I’m done with diets. I’m done over analyzing what I eat. I’m not interested anymore in thinking any calories or macros or deficits. My body is in need of a lot of healing. Healing requires energy. Originally I was going to eat a salad daily. Or maybe only do this…. or a smoothie. I think… Continue reading Done with diets
Lately it’s the small reminders that hit me the hardest. I am going to be painting our bathroom. I need a change of scenery. I was washing the walls in anticipation of priming them and saying goodbye to my not sure if it’s brown or orange bathroom. I went to climb up on my tub….… Continue reading The small reminders
I went back to the rheumatologist. Unfortunately I don’t really have any more answers. I knew this might be the case going in. Autoimmune problems can take a very long time to be diagnosed. My labs showed markers for inflammation. However did not show markers for things like Lupus or Rheumatoid arthritis. My x-rays showed… Continue reading Semi diagnosed

For months now… months being no exaggeration I have put my faith and hopes into this woman I had never met before.… Continue reading I Went to The Rheumatologist

Summer of 2021 we did this with our kids and it was a blast. 2022 we did not… the pass that they had last year just didn’t seem like enough of… Continue reading Fun alert – Chuckie Cheese!
I got my labs done last week… Wednesday…it’s now Monday… no results. I have checked the portal so many times I have lost count… I’m fact I lost count the first day. I don’t know why they are taking so long. Maybe it’s the kind of test it is? I’ve forgotten the name of the… Continue reading Undiagnosed
Today I was able to help my kids shower without pain making my wince. At first I didn’t notice….I guess that’s the problem with relief… you don’t always notice it until you don’t have it. I helped my daughter then it was my son’s turn. Sometimes the first one isn’t bad but the second shower… Continue reading Today is a good pain day
