I’ve been working hard at making people aware of chronic illnesses especially invisible chronic illnesses and all types of disABILITES. One of the ways I do this is by blogging. But I do some other things too. I’m an active member of DOUA – Disabled Online Users Association. This group is a non-profit that assists [...]

October 17, 2007 By 2 Comments
I just read about a study done by Evercare, a provider of health care for people who are elderly, disabled and chronically ill about subjects that are taboo or difficult to discuss. One of the top on the list was chronic illness. “The survey, released Oct. 11, found that 82 percent of respondents said they [...]

Save Money Shopping Online
October 16, 2007 By Leave a Comment
I love to shop online. It saves me time and energy which a lot of the time I don’t have much of. When I can find a way to save money on some of the largest retailers online, I’m hooked. I’ve often researched online coupon sources but they are either not updated or you need [...]

Blog Action Day – Our Environment and Autoimmune Disease
October 15, 2007 By 3 Comments
Today is Blog Action Day. The focus is our environment. Since I am the Autoimmune Queen with five AD’s under my belt, I chose to blog about how our environment may contribute to Autoimmune Diseases. Research as to why AD’s occur must continue. There is a known genetic link but with people who have no [...]

Swallowing and Vitamins
October 15, 2007 By Leave a Comment
With Sjogren’s Syndrome I often have not only a dry mouth but a dry throat. I can drink water until I’m floating but it doesn’t moisten me. This causes problems with swallowing. I stay away from dry food items like pretzels and chips. But sometimes even swallowing food with sips of water can be difficult. [...]

What is 5 x 5 Mom?
October 13, 2007 By Leave a Comment
Oh the daily homework routine. The dread that comes over me as I attempt to help Peanut do her math problems. I’m still using words like “take away” and “carry over”. She’s looking at me like I have two heads. She’s still using her fingers to count. I show her how I do it but [...]

Saturday At Home

I was up way too late last night. Ever get overtired? You’re so tired that you can’t sleep? That’s what happened to me. I was tossing and turning for hours. Decided to get online and spend some time surfing blogs and checking out eBay. Today I actually woke up early but was like a zombie. [...]

Knowledge is Wealth!

Yesterday we got a very important letter in the mail. It informed us that the Prepaid College Fund for Peanut has been paid off. In Florida this program is excellent and we wouldn’t have known about it except by reading the financial section of our newspaper. You see the year we signed up for it [...]

Why?
October 13, 2007 By 1 Comment
A few days ago as I was driving Peanut to school an area of one of the main roads was closed down. I knew it had to be a terrible accident as there were police cars blocking traffic, lots of onlookers and that general sense of eeriness you feel around something bad. Whenever we see [...]
