Coping with Chronic Illness Circle
Vent re Caregiver Cost
11-3-2022 I’m not sure what I’m doing. I’ve thought about starting a journal for a long time. Will I keep this up? Who knows? What possessed me to put it online? I’m really just writing this for me. Today will be a short post. Maybe I will write more stuff later. I’ve wanted a place…
Health Issues Galore!
I've been called the queen of health issues and that isn't a title I'm proud of but, there is truth to it. My story of health problems began when I was 16 years old it was the Summer before the start of my Junior year of high school. I was away on a mission trip…

6 Is Better Then 20
Today is a good day on the pain scale. It's kind of a awful thing that your life surrounds around a pain scale score for a good day or a bad day. But that's how my life has been for years but the last 3 weeks it has been a tornado mixed in with a…
Dilemma
To med or not to med, that is the question. Whether it is saner in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of rages and crying, or to take capsules against a sea of sorrows and in medicating them, end them; to be awake past 9, to be able to get things done quickly…
