Friday. Yes, Friday was a good day. Don’t get me wrong – emotionally, spiritually, and usually mentally, most days are good. But physically – well, that’s a different story. If you’ve read my previous posts, you know the pain and weakness I suffer on a daily basis. But I wonder how many people really understand…
A Year of Treatment
This is what a years worth of treatment looks like. More than 50 IV bags, countless pills, powders, and drips. Is it worth it? Yes. It most definitely is. I remember a year ago when I would wake up in the middle of the night screaming from pain that felt like a knife in my…
Laughter is the best medicine. (Or is it?)
As a Christmas gift, our kids gave us tickets to see Jeff Dunham in concert. The show was this last weekend and I have a hard time traveling lately so I was sort of dreading the 2 hour drive to Sac. A few norco’s, a good nap, and a charming driver/date made the trip well…
Angels and Herxing
"To them it was revealed that, not to themselves, but to us they were ministering the things which now have been reported to you through those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things which angels desire to look into." 1 Peter 1:12 Angels are among us. I feel…
Do Not Be Discouraged

He stumbled across an idea one day and began testing carbonized filaments…
Waiting for Positive
I was sharing a video with my husband last night made by a guy whose wife had been sick for several years with an unknown illness. She suffered so much - enduring severe pain that would cause her to pass out. Lots of tests provided no answers. Doctors told them that her symptoms were psychological…
Shots!
About 8 years ago, one of our horses was injured and needed daily medication, which included shots twice a day. Guess what – doctors don’t come give shots to horses twice a day. They leave the medication with the horse’s owner, who then gives the horse the shot. So – I pulled up my big…
Feb 25 – Low Back Pain
There are 3 specific pains that can send me to the ER. Headaches – these are bad – narcotics don’t touch them – they usually only relieved by an IV cocktail of steroids, benedryl and a couple other meds. Neck pain and stiffness - while this is typically accompanied by a headache, it is very…

My mind swirled all day with things I wanted to write. I tried to put my thoughts down on paper (well, on Word) but it just didn't come together quite the way I meant it to. The one thing about this sickness that frustrates me the most is the brain thing - the fog, the…
