Beware of the Pack Mentality

The journey of being under diagnosed to over diagnosed. It produces the same results except now I have more preexisting conditions. EDS, ME/CFS, Chiari, dysautonomia, MVP, osteopenia, DDD, fluoroquilonone toxicity, IC, IBS, adhesions, hernia, MCAS, POTS, nerve conduction problems, absorption problems leading to extreme weight loss and broken bones.

Support

I am starting to get a tad freaked out. The person I asked to take me to surgery bailed on me. It is tomorrow. I could ask my better half but he already does so much. He would do anything I ask. I know this. I try to lessen the load on him. […]

Hello Kitty

Well surgery is quickly approaching. Another surgery. My fears of surgery and general anesthesia come with a list of precautions. Surgery has proven to make things worse in the past.

Cliff’s Notes

My truth is hard. To sum it up I was a terrible kid. I was terrible even very young and my family cast me out. Collectively. I was too much. They were “good” and I was ‘bad” at 5 years old. At 10. 15. 40. Any time I am “too much” I am disposable. When I was […]

Lets Taco bout it

Been kind of spicy lately. Lets put that into food. I have been making my own taco seasoning for some time. I have heard some say it is cheaper, I don’t find that to be accurate. It can be comparable to that strange generic orange stuff you can buy, but it is so much […]
