It’s Still a New Year

If I wrote this post a month ago, my post would have started with "Happy New Year!" In the chronic illness community, are we too far into the year to still say that? Since the excess of celebrations and activities during the holiday season often set us back (physically, mentally, or emotionally), our "New Year" … Continue reading It’s Still a New Year

I sit on the side of the bed getting my bearings, thinking … Continue reading Hope Through Chronic Illness?

I didn't wake up till almost 2 p.m. due to a night of tossing and turning, then reading, … Continue reading Living an “Upside Down” Life

Coverage You Can Trust

Invisible Illness Requires an Invisible Fight

Well, I've been M.I.A. for quite awhile, and I apologize for that. Chronic illness can do that....rob us of things we enjoy. As I was reviewing some of my articles today, I came across an article I wrote for Invisible Illness Week in 2015, sharing my experience with three invisible illnesses.
