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....

I try…
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 →
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 →

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 →
What makes me happy….
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 →
For those who’ve been rejected…
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 →
Just say no…
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 →
…..and all I got was a good parking spot.
While shopping, I overheard someone complaining how they needed to park in the handicapped spot at the drug store because they sprained their ankle and it hurt to walk. A sprained ankle hurts like hell. I get it. You see my joints feel like they are sprained and/or broken most of the time. They swell,... Continue Reading →
