Every once in a while, I believe we all slip into a "funk" or a mood we simply can't shake. It then translates into lack of interest in things we'd normally be incredibly involved in. I know where my mood stems from, and why, but nevertheless, it is causing more harm than good. What else … Continue reading Things I’m Thinking About

A few weeks ago someone friended me on Facebook. Under normal circumstances I only accept requests from people I know in real life or people I have met via a migraine or Fibromyalgia/ Chronic Pain group. I’ve met some great people who have become good friends almost immediately. Sometimes you click with someone and you’re … Continue reading Follow Your Gut, Because It Doesn’t Lie…

The past two years have been incredibly hard on my brother. I have no words for what he has been through, or for the things he continues to battle easy day. For the past ten years or so, all we’ve had that we can truly count on, as siblings, is each other. I remember the … Continue reading Because He’s My Brother

Today was incredibly somber for me, and I am certain other people felt this way, as well. Every year, a deep part of me re-lives 9/11. I wasn't afraid, not for a second, but I was definitely in silent, angry shock. Sixteen years later, I still can't believe all that has transpired since that day. … Continue reading Sixteen Years

Hello everyone. 🙂 I've been both present and not-so present around here for quite some time, mostly from an emotional standpoint. I'm not going to apologize for that. No one should ever apologize for taking care of themselves, or the crap in their lives. If someone tells you their life is perfect, I've got a … Continue reading Questioning Everything

Official?

I finally have documentation on my medical chart that I have Fibromyalgia. What I find odd is that the doctor didn't check for trigger points or question the discussion, she simply added it to my "history". If the original doctor who diagnosed me in 2003/2004 had remembered to put it in my chart back then, … Continue reading Official?

I guess late Friday night has become my new "time to write". I have no idea when that became a thing, but let's roll with it, shall we? My big accomplishment this week was talking to my insurance company and getting an emergency reinstatement, all thanks to someone who knew what she was doing and … Continue reading Life, On Hold

I showed up for my doctor's appointment today and the office staff, who I can only describe as idiotically incompetent, something I don't normally say about this particular office, waited about ten minutes before informing me that my insurance had been terminated. To say I was outraged is a vast understatement. When they ask you … Continue reading You Only Get One Chance

I have long since passed "tired" and have reached a state of pure "painsomnia". No matter what I do, I am in too much pain to sleep properly, if at all. Physically, mentally, and emotionally, I'm not in the correct head-space to allow my body to rest as it needs to. It's twisted when anyone … Continue reading Stressful Sleepless Nights
