What about us?
I'm going out on a limb. I may be controversial with my stance, but I am taking it. I see all the programs out to help people with opioid addiction. I've also seen memes asking why Narcan (a drug that reverses opiod overdoses) is free while chemo isn't free for cancer patients. Now drug addiction... Continue Reading →

Dear Senator Toomey, I've emailed you multiple times over the past few years and never once did it make an impact on your decision in terms of voting.

I've been in a brain freeze for the past few days. The recent passing of the AHCA bill in Congress has left me reeling for many reasons. When I expressed concerns, a friend asked why I was worried because I don't use Obamacare as my insurance. It made me realize that people have no... Continue Reading →
How many “ologists” does it take?
I've finally beaten my flares! Things should be back to normal, right? Well in the chronic life, it's seldom normal. At a recent rheumatologist appointment, I expressed that my spine and hip were killing me. My doctor gave me a script for physical therapy. She felt I have tendonitis in my hip. Turns out my...
