If they eye offend thee pluck it out, or in my case it was my uterus
I had a hysterectomy yesterday. It’s been in the works for almost 9 months, well really almost a year and a half now. When crap hit the fan in 2023, one of the things I wanted was a hysterectomy just so that my period, which has been painful for years, was one last thing I…

Learning how my muscles work
Have you ever known you were doing something wrong, but no one has been able to tell you how to do it right? I have, especially with exercise and posture. Last year I went to a migraine clinic that worked a multiple prong approach. Parts of it worked, but one part didn’t, and that was…

How My Panic Attack Changed My Daughter’s Diet
It all started on a Sunday morning a few weeks ago. I had an early morning with the baby, then my toddler woke up just in time for the baby to go back to sleep. She was grumpy, I was grumpy and I was flying solo because my husband had a bunch of morning meetings.…

Goals
One part of my migraine treatment was to set personal goals for myself. The doctor explained to me that he has everyone do this so that treatment does not regress. Being chronically sick for a lot of his patience is a part of their identity, and when it gets removed if it is not replaced…
