I blather about personal trials and triumphs through this world of chronic illness. Sharing my journey provides therapy for me, and hopefully offers to others a bit of comfort, encouragement, and perhaps even a few chuckles along the way. My forty-one year journey of battling illness has included the following diagnoses, beginning at age 10: juvenile arthritis, endometriosis, migraines, CFS/ME, Fibromyalgia, RA, early stage MS, Chronic Lyme Disease, Babesia, Bartonella, and Mycoplasma to name the key players. My hope is to share personal experiences in a way that is uplifting while still being real. I’m a glass half full kind of gal, who has her feet firmly planted on the ground of reality!
