I Remember This day is emblazoned within my mind. I would learn so much within a forty-eight hour span of time, and I would be permanently changed. But no one tells you that when you’re a child. No. They try to keep you “innocent”. Except in my family. My mother decided I was not going … Continue reading I Remember

So Much Misdiagnosis

2018-06-242018-07-01 Miss Poison Chronic Pain, Writing Chronic Pain, Health, June, Poison In Lethal Doses, Writing

When it pertains to your health, you are bound to be misdiagnosed multiple times over the duration of your life.

Saturday afternoon someone asked me what I was doing for Father's Day.

The start of each new year is often the same; full of diets, gym memberships, promises to work more, or work less; promises in general are a big thing, and most of these "resolutions" are temporary. They last a week or a month, sometimes two, but very rarely become a new way of living for … Continue reading Works In Progress
