Lifestyle

but I saw this as an opportunity to help others with the same health situations as me, so I started a journal about my every day life, medications, symptoms and side effects and also things and remedies that worked or didn’t work for me. I felt so good with a lot of energy and the symptoms of lupus or Sjrogrens were almost down to CERO, definitely the support of my closest friends and family members was crucial in my recovery. and I was feeling sick most of the time with no energy to do other things, didn’t feel that happy any more and I started to feel like a failure. In April 2019 I was diagnosed with Lupus Nephritis and my kidneys were in stage 4, of course with all the symptoms and when I started to lose my hair it was devastating because it looked like everything I tried

Today, read Samantha’s story about living with two medically-incurable conditions and an invisible illness. It was hard being so young and having random periods when I couldn’t do things for myself, periods when I was in so much pain I preferred to live in isolation and periods when I felt I had to cover myself up more than others because I had an opening on my body that never really healed which drained blood and pus daily and would stain my clothes. I read research reports about my condition and learn about the increased risk people living with it have of certain cancers and cardiovascular conditions. On rough days, I choose to remember the good that happened in the day such as eating one of my favourite dishes, having the ability to get medical care, being able to sleep and wake up, listening to a song I like or being able to watch a good movie or series to distract my brain if only for a few hours.

He’s a father, a doctor, and a dedicated husband, and while that looks great, if you read his story you will find that it wasn’t always the case. The financial struggles continued growing up in a family with 4 other siblings and a mom who had previously been a stay-at-home mom who was now forced to work 2 part time jobs. I had always enjoyed volunteering in the hospital and after joining the Lifesharing team, I knew that there was nothing that I wanted more than to continue my pursuit of becoming a medical doctor in order to serve my community. And I worked / volunteered for the hospital for 3 years, re-took several college classes, and took the MCAT a total of 4 times until I was finally happy with my score.

With these Black Friday deals, it’s easy to stay in style without having to spend a lot of money. With Lord and Taylor’s Black Friday sale, you can purchase the items you want at a great deal. Because these bags NEVER go on sale and now, for a limited time you can take $25 off of every $150 you spend. But in between the Black Friday shopping, you better believe I’m drinking some already made Splendid Spoon smoothies.

It’s completely impossible to live a normal life right now, as my symptoms can be very spontaneous and start in a matter of seconds & last for as long as months, which is very debilitating. When I’m like this I can’t always stand up as I’m so dizzy, so I have to crawl around with a sick bowl to get to the toilet, In the space of a few minutes I started with vestibular symptoms – extreme dizziness, double vision, room spinning, head spinning, unable to stand up or walk in a straight line & nausea. I’m remaining extremely hopeful that Botox will work by reducing the severity of my symptoms & the number of migraines I have each month.

How many times do we feel as healthcare workers that we are trying to be the perfect bride? How many times have you felt like you are trying to maintain a perfect composure and presence in a rough and ugly environment? Let’s remember that as humans it’s ok if there are days when we can’t wear the white dress . Let’s extend grace to those who need help putting the white dress back on.

There’s this quote that I absolutely love and had to share… Simple and to the point, yet I think it’s one of those things that’s easier said than done (just like anything). It’s difficult trudging on and doing things you’ve never done before, but you know what’s even more difficult… staying in the same spot and regretting it later on. There are a variety of retailers that you can purchase a watch… the most important aspect to pay attention to is buying an authentic Michele watch. My mom’s Michele watch (which we purchased off of Amazon on sale!) was fixed one time… and the customer service was great.

It’s not just about trying new foods, dabbling with new hobbies (here’s one to try), etc, but it’s about taking a step back every so often and re-assessing what makes you healthy and happy. While it’s a simple change that doesn’t involve much once it’s installed, it has made a MAJOR difference in both my skin and hair… enough that I had to share on my blog! Basically, you just need to take the items out of the box, take the old shower head off, wash out the filter (to get any excess carbon out), put the filter back into the metal piece, twist the filter onto where the old shower head was, and then twist the shower head onto the filter. It’s a fraction of what it would cost to try out new shampoos and conditioners in order to soften your hair.

Well, it was definitely the case for myself and my family when my brother was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. Little did I know, at the time, things would get harder from that point in time. After the Diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes After he was diagnosed, you would expect things to go back to normal for the family. There were so many scary times being the sister of a type 1 diabetic (and I can imagine for my brother as well), where it would have helped to have some kind of awareness or knowledge of the disease.

Because today, I’m sharing a very controversial post for November… All about my Christmas tree & Christmas Decor! They will most likely sell out soon, so if you find ones you love, make sure to get them soon. It doesn’t “die” or need to be watered (it’s less maintenance), and besides that, it doesn’t come with any of the “fun” parts that come with a real tree… AKA bugs and sap (that ruin your floors!). Once the tree is set up or after you’ve finished steps 1-5 (it’s what you prefer), add a tree topper to the top.
