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...

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 →
I learned through the Chronic Illness Bloggers Network that a company was looking for bloggers to try out their new pain relief product. I read about the device and decided I wanted to do a test trial. Lucky for me, Saringer Life Science Techologies chose me to review their new contrast therapy device called Benepod....

Today I was in a lot of pain. My ankle and feet were so swollen that I could barely walk. Each step I took felt like I was walking on a joints made of glass that shatter with each step I take. I try not to complain about my pain. I try to wave it... Continue Reading →
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 →

I'm "dog poor". What does the mean? Well, my dog's medical issues are so expensive that I have little money left over for myself on payday. I'm not complaining and I'm not saying this to get sympathy. Just giving backstory. I live with an expensive illness. I take a lot of medication. Have a lot... Continue Reading →
I honestly don't know where to start. I just saw a headline about Aetna Insurance. Basically, a former medical director, who was also a doctor, admitted under oath that he never read a patient's chart before denying or approving coverage of treatments. Instead, he followed what he stated was "Aetna training" in which nurses would... Continue Reading →
I am still able to work full time. I feel blessed for many reasons. First, I love my career as a speech-language pathologist. Second, I'm lucky to have such good health insurance. Third, I can still physically work. I admit it is getting harder, and I am beyond hurting at the end of the day,... Continue Reading →
