At 4:00 this morning, I thought someone was trying to break into my house. That is precisely how much noise an almost two-year old cat was making in her attempt to climb something, simply to give Mommy the cat version of a middle finger. She scared the crap out of me. I had thirty seconds … Continue reading WTF Moments & Pushing The Body

WARNING: Potential Triggers I'm a ridiculously intuitive person, which has the tendency of scaring people if they aren't used to it. I live my life paying attention to the same things most people ignore. However, it is virtually impossible to ignore your body and mind when they're screaming at you. No matter what bad thing … Continue reading As Real As It Gets

I have come to cherish my weekends like a newborn baby. The arrival of Friday makes me feel less guilty about self-care. This week in particular, I need it.

Not being in complete control of your own body is HELL. I cannot see past the blinding pain that starts in my … Continue reading Pain Levels

Sleep, Pain, & Stress

Sleep doesn't come easily for me these days. In fact, I often wonder how long I can function without sleep. Seemingly I can only sleep when I'm sick, upset, or exhausted beyond words. No one likes wasting time staring at the ceiling. Tossing and turning for hours is overrated and I'm not going to do it. … Continue reading Sleep, Pain, & Stress

I think it's admirable when people say "Keep Fighting", but in actuality, they do not know what you are battling, they do not know your mind, they do not know your heart, and they do not know your breaking point. We all have lines that, once crossed, send us into different modes of survival. It … Continue reading Breaking Point

I've been plagued by pain in so many ways over the last week and a half, that I really haven't been able to finish anything I've started to write. Work, at the moment, is that thing I should be doing, but can't because sitting here for 5-12 hours editing is excruciatingly painful. I won't lie; … Continue reading Plagued

Migraines: Part One

Miss Poison Migraines, Writing , , , , , , , , ,

I went to bed last night with what I consider a "mild migraine". Most of mine are horrific in their intensity, so hopefully this post will help someone. I have suffered from migraines for almost 18 years. I have a family history of migraines, but that's not the case for all sufferers. Technically if someone … Continue reading Migraines: Part One
