I’ve seen this all over the place, so I can’t really credit where I got it: If there is someone on your friends list who makes your world a better place just because they exist and who you would not…
Blog or Journal?
I’ve been drawn into various blogs today, seeking distraction from physical pain. Bloggers are all the rage, but Live Journal users seem to be second-class citizens. How do you perceive the difference between blogs and LJs? Why do people who…
Another Day, Another Doctor
I haven’t been posting a lot of personal stuff lately, largely hoping to avoid whinging too much about pain and such. I saw the new pain doc today, though, and I really like this practice much better than the first…
Duh
Dear Self: Do not go back to the rheumatologist without curiousmay9 or sambear. In fact, don’t go see any specialist for anything but a routine check-in without one of them. You’ll get too tired to think straight and forget things…

So That’s Why I’m Hurting So Much
I just realized that I haven’t taken any of my meds today. Whoops! I’m taking a break, as Sam has been pushing me to do for a while now. He’s washing the windows outside, and I’ve been doing more planting.…
