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...

A few weeks ago I spent a better part of an hour dumping out about $500 worth of alcohol down my drain.  Most people would think I’m nuts, but I had to do it. It was time to face the cold hard facts - I’m getting old, my health is in the toilet.  Let me tell you a story about The Girl ...

That’s right, I even took a picture of what my doctor wrote down for me.  I have Acquired Idiopathic Dysautonomia with Polyneuropathy, and I couldn’t be happier. How cool is it that my doctor even misspelled it? When I heard him, I was like, “What the fuck is that?”  Acquir...

I can NOT believe what I have just read on the internet.  CAN NOT BELIEVE that someone from the Associated Press has decided to call my disease a “murky disease” … you see, I have Fibromyalgia , and it sucks.  As if this disease now needs to take another blow to the chest. Now mo...

I’m so tired.  Literally so tired that I have been falling asleep in my jeans and my contacts.  I think I passed out Friday night at 7:00pm and last night at 6:00pm.  But, besides being physically tired, I’m emotionally and mentally tired of my fight against doctors.  That’s ri...
