ER visit and … possible arrest?
I have a tale to tell you that you just will not be able to fathom. If I didn’t know better, I would say God has a sense of humor, because my year just ended with a loud bang! (head shake) Yesterday afternoon I started to get in trouble with my lungs again. I tried everything, but, to no avail. (The maintenance guys are finishing up the construction on our historical building so floors were being stained and I was …

Working on RESPONDING versus REACTING
I made a decision recently that I was going to work on developing a more tempered response to stressful situations that pop up in my life. Basically, I am trying to learn to respond rather than react when stressful situations arise. Well, you probably know all too well what that means, right? I got bombarded with one crazy fiasco after another! I actually recall on Monday thinking, I was exhausted just from dealing with the issues that kept popping up. …

The Long Road Home – Part Three
Well, the last part of my story isn’t quite as fun as the first two. As a matter of fact, it was a very challenging and emotional part of the journey for me. I think – now that I have the ability to look back at what transpired – I was…

All things that go up must come down
It has been said that, all things that go up must eventually come down. Unfortunately, that proves true with CFIDS and FMS more oft than not. Today, I have been feeling pretty bad. If I didn’t know better…

Turning the Corner
I thought I would update you all on the after-effects of the chemical poisoning. There is good news and then there is some not so good news. On the good news front, my gait is much better. I still have problems with my balance but if I am just walking around the house for short durations I am pretty much back to normal. It appears the detox herbs my natural doctor suggested are working. On the flip side…

Feeling like a FISH out of WATER
I was once told you know a person’s true character when you watch how they respond under pressure. Well, I’m not feeling like I have much character right now. I am so …

CFIDS and the STRESSES of LIFE
This past week or so has been incredibly challenging for me physically, mentally and emotionally. I have chosen not to write about this period as I didn’t really want to get into the details of the stress producing situation. However, this morning, I received information on two (2) fronts that sent me into overload! As someone who lives with a chronic illness, stress can have a devastating affect on my body. And for me, today, my body was sent over …

De-stressing with photography
This week has been a really odd week. I have not had one day where I accomplished my goals. In addition, I have been having pain because I need to go see the chiropractor but I can’t afford to do so this month. With the wedding being just three (3) months away, money is tight. I also had to up my budget to switch Dekker to a raw diet and put him on his own herbal products. My word did …
My journey from drugs to herbs – Part Four
If you haven’t had the chance to read Part One, Part Two, or Part Three of, My journey from drugs to herbs, you can do so here, and here and here. Now down to the last system – the immune system. In 2008, I asked my chiropractor/natural doctor what I could take to ensure that I didn’t spend the winter with pneumonia, bronchitis, or the flu. He suggested I add a multi-mushroom extract and Vitamin C and D. I was …
On the other side
I have finally come out on the other side of my four month crash. It is a really great reminder for me to treasure any and all moments because I never truly know what is coming around the corner. I have really been working hard to enjoy every single moment of every day. That sounds like it would be such an easy thing, but I have been dealing with incredible stresses in addition to the laptop fiasco. My father…
