Reflections from the other side

I know I know, the title sounds morbid. I’m not dying. By other side, I mean remission, because we did it. I am still in remission and have been for a whole year now. It’s been a long time since I have written in this blog. I think a part of it was exhaustion becauseContinueContinue reading “Reflections from the other side”

Well friends, we got the flu

Ah flu season, the time of year no one likes. Especially people with autoimmune disorders. Last year your girl was on top of it and got her flu sit early, managing to overall miss flu season.

Hello, It’s Me

Well hello world, it has been a long long time since we have ventured over here to this blog. I made it back from Europe, I do promise you that. I’m really sorry I was away from here for so long.

That enema fleet they giveContinueContinue reading “Clinical Trial Series: Week 16”

Things you should do if you are on Prednisone

Ah Prednisone, The pill that most people end up on when you have a chronic illness, the pill that really does work some wonders, but ALWAYS has side effects. This has been the longest I’ve been on prednisone consecutively. Normally I am able to start weaning off of it after 2 weeks, but because ofContinueContinue reading “Things you should do if you are on Prednisone”

Tales from a shower cry session

Two posts in one week, I’m getting a little wild here. But jokes aside, I had a lot of my mind and just feel the need to get it off my chest. Keep in mind, I am super emotionally charged today, so this post may end up not really making sense or having an exactContinueContinue reading “Tales from a shower cry session”
