Peace Love Wool: June 2011
http://peacelovewool.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 16, 2011. Links to this post. Wednesday, June 15, 2011. Mack trucks and mortality. I have not been well this past week. You can probably guess that by the first half of this post's title. Tonight I am aching all over, muscles and joints alike, the headache is not yet gone, and my eye is weak and in pain. I woke up the last few days barely able to straighten my right arm at the elbow, and my left shoulder was screaming while I tried to prop myself up on my left arm for a few minutes las...

Rheu'mom'toid: Enbrel and The Currant Bush
http://rheumomtoid.blogspot.com/2014/06/enbrel-and-currant-bush.html
Tuesday, June 17, 2014. Enbrel and The Currant Bush. Whelp, that didn't go quite as planned :) I started Enbrel today. I tried my best to avoid it: I have been following a gut healing program called the RepairVite Diet. The whole idea is very similar to the Whole30. Program. On top of this I was getting Immune Boost IV's twice a week. How could this not work? However, I baffled my doctors and immediately started flaring up? Too many new supplements? I still don't completely understand why I was given thi...

Rheu'mom'toid: July 2011
http://rheumomtoid.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 10, 2011. We got a puppy! My husband caved and we became owners of a morkie puppy (Maltese and Yorkie mix) Her name is Bella. House training a puppy is hard but house training a puppy with giarrdia is IMPOSSIBLE! Her name is Ursula.should I be nervous? They are making me into a better person. But what happens when they are grown and leave? Who am I then? And "just keep swimming, swimming, swimming" Things always work themselves out, right? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). An Attitude of Gratitude.

Is Your Food Making You Sick? | Rheum For God
https://rheumforgod.wordpress.com/2013/02/27/is-your-food-making-you-sick
A girl, her God, and chronic illness. Is Your Food Making You Sick? February 27, 2013. October 15, 2013. The following article summarizes so well the dangers our modern U.S. food system poses to our health. When I think about the amount of children and adults on medications for various ailments, attention deficit disorders, auto-immune diseases in babies and children, tables at school for children with allergies, I think about the role our food plays in our health.

Rheu'mom'toid: September 2011
http://rheumomtoid.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 27, 2011. Things are good. I have had some incredible things happening in my life lately that I must share. Sorry for neglecting my blog all summer. BUSY! I have missed many of my blogging friends and have been thinking of you. With the kids back in school and somewhat of a fall schedule settling in, I turned to my blog roll one afternoon. I now have two kids in school, 1 in preschool and 1 baby who is still napping at that same time which equals 4 hours of me time a week! This time is...

A girl, her God, and chronic illness. Stay Free, People! September 20, 2013. I get a daily devotional in my e-mail inbox from Max Lucado. Here was today’s. 8220;In 1965 Howard Rutledge parachuted into North Vietnam and spent the next several years in a prison in Hanoi, locked in a filthy cell breathing stale, rotten air trying to keep his sanity. Few of us will ever face the conditions of a POW camp. I read this and thought, “I don’t want to be behind bars! I can’t help but feel sometimes that we a...

AP Diary 2 | Rheum For God
https://rheumforgod.wordpress.com/ap-diary-2
A girl, her God, and chronic illness. The following is to record my experience with an antibiotic protocol in an attempt to manage psoriatic arthritis. This is my second antibiotic protocol. The first was nine months long and was very successful. Tough at first, but worth it. The approach was a very heavy hitting one. As my doctor said, “Going in guns blazing! Day 1 (October 18, 2012). Put my feet on the ground and was grateful to discover they were not screaming at me. Yay! Day 2 (October 19, 2012).

Rheu'mom'toid: November 2010
http://rheumomtoid.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 24, 2010. I read a post by 'Single Gal' yesterday which has caused more contemplation than she probably ever intended. It is a great post! Am I thankful for my RA? It's been on my mind constantly. I've tried thinking of every possible angle to this question and no matter how I looked at it "NO WAY! Thankful for." My mind began racing with little details that I never would have listed on my thankful list if it were not for RA. 4 A normal bowel movement.too much info? 5 Weight gain....
