I originally wrote this piece as a part of Rheumatoid Arthritis Blog Week. I decided to redo it a bit for World Autoimmune Arthritis Day. I often need to remind myself of all I have been through with this disease. Also, to show others that I took me almost 30 years to get any sort … Continue reading World Autoimmune Arthritis Day #WAAD18

Social Media: It's a Stranger Thing... The recent security issues on Facebook have a lot of people wondering if they should delete their accounts.

Two steps forward, one step back…
I recently posted about my big diet change. For about one month, I stuck to it like glue. I had one cheat day that clocked in around 2200 calories, but overall, I stuck to my plan of 1200 calories or less. I removed gluten, dairy, and salt. I also limited carbs and sugar. I was … Continue reading Two steps forward, one step back…
Update….
Well, it's been a week on the "get-healthy-by-removing-everything-you-love-from-your-diet" diet. I've stuck to a reduced salt, low carb, low sodium and mostly gluten-free diet (I didn't realize one of the meal bars I got had gluten and I had 2 over the past week). Just to refresh, I decided to try a significant diet change to … Continue reading Update….

When being neurotic is a good thing…
Yesterday was stressful. I decided to get my nails done after work. Before heading to the salon, I stopped by the house to walk the dog and give her some medication. It was too early to feed her and give her insulin, but I figured I'd only be gone for 2 hours, so I had … Continue reading When being neurotic is a good thing…

‘Twas the night before a snowstorm…
There is a HUGE snow storm coming tonight and tomorrow. Large amounts of wet, heavy snow is expected. The meteorologists are all over the place with totals but my joints are predicting anywhere from 1-99 inches! Hahaha. I had to run to the store to get my "milk and bread". Then had to run other … Continue reading ‘Twas the night before a snowstorm…
Yesterday…..
Yesterday, I tried to be normal. Yesterday, I tried to ignore my diseases. Yesterday, I had fun. Yesterday, I overdid things. Today, I'm paying for it. Yesterday was a busy day. I worked both jobs until 6:30, then joined a group of friends for a "Ladies night" at a wine and paint place. I knew … Continue reading Yesterday…..
