For the past month or so, I've been dealing with the plague on and off.  It was really bad for a few days and then it drifted off.  Last Friday, it got bad again.  Each day since, it has progressed with new symptoms.  Today, I felt like pure crap and stayed home from work...

Previously on Lost...  Last time I went to the doctor, I was in a bad place.  Just got back from trial.  My grandmother was moving to hospice care.  The doctor told me we would have to break up if I didn't stop putting myself under so much stress. So, I've been doing ...

The Boy cringes that I discuss this stuff with people, let alone the entire internet.  So, my apologies to the Boy, but I don't think it is a big deal.  But it does involve my lady business, sort of.  Be warned. So, I have been super good with my diet.  I am bitching at l...

Okay, this marks day seven of the detox.  I think it's day seven.  It feels like it has been eternity.  Do you want to know what I had as a snack last night?  A can of green beans.  People, I have to stress to you that a can of green beans is NOT a snack to my peopl...

Everyone on earth knows that I haven't had a great couple of months.  Well, it took its toll on the Danielle Deficit through stress-shopping and on my health through stress-eating.  When I was in NJ, all I wanted was hoagies, Herr's salt and pepper chips and soft pretzels. ...

Last year, in early January 2008, I was at the end of my rope.  My fibromyalgia was beginning to interfere with my ability to function.  By the end of the day, I could barely walk up the steps to the bedroom without wincing.  So I made a resolution to get my health in order in 2008...

[Introduction for the newbies as this links to Wellsphere.  Regulars, I recommend you run along to the next paragraph, lest ye accuse me of repeating myself.  I have fibromyalgia and was diagnosed in 2002.  I hit rock bottom in December of last year and began treatment at the Fibro...

When I went to my appointment with Dr. Garcia at the Fibro and Fatigue Center, I grabbed a handout on the link between hormones and depression.  I read a paragraph aloud that included typical complaints that the patients have that are linked to hormone imbalances.  Upon finishing, The Bo...

It's been a while since we talked about the dismal state of my physical affairs, no?  Well, let's have at it.  Some shit went down in August and I have avoided discussing this.  As a wee lawyer, I am paranoid about the idea of defamation (regardless of whether truth is a de...
