Flaring up?

The past two months have been stressful and insanely busy. Most of my time has been devoted to this job where our Executive Director occasionally vents to me about our Board of Directors, and I immediately noticed my stomach starts to hurt. Minutes later I develop a headache.  Ever since I was diagnosed with IBD, …

It’s been a while . . .

It's been a while since I've written . . . its been a while since i've done anything for me. My life for the past few weeks has been devoted to sleeping, paying bills, and work. . . such a drag. When I do go out I'm completely exhausted. I wish I could say, "At least …

umm it’s too cold . .

A Flare attack and Black & Blue . . . .

It's been a week since my last post and not a good one.   A very stressful, exhausting week it has been.  New job has officially started to stress me out, but for the first time in my career its not over drama, just a lot of freaking work. But with my condition any amount …

Weight gain, money woes, the usual . . .
