  Working With Chronic Illness — Authority: 491
  Here’s a question I get frequently but you wouldn’t have heard 20 or even 10 years ago:  Is self employment the best option for people living with chronic illness? It seems that most employed people dream of working for themselves.  It certainly sounds  freeing and creative, doesn’t it? No one makes a ...

  LEMON-AIDE — Authority: 112
  A fox just walked by, a red fox with her plush tail and triangle ears, like the one who visited our campsite this past summer. We took pictures of her because we hadn’t seen one up close before. We live in the suburbs. Our backyard is large. It backs up to a fairway of a golf course. The back windows of our ...

  Sick Momma — Authority: 113
  I consider it a huge blessing that Ellie is generally as healthy as one could wish for their 5-year-old. Its rare that she has more than mild cold symptoms.  But watching her when shes not feeling well, I wonder why sick kids act so differently than sick adults.  Scott theorizes that its because kids havent ...

  Three Ring Circus — Authority: 418
  I have been so sad for Ivy these last few weeks. We have been pushing the Prednisone down, trying to get her to a maintenance level, where she is not as adrenally suppressed when we got to 10.5 mg she blistered. She was sick at the time, so I just thought it was because of that. I pushed her steroid up for three ...

• Hit the Road Muscle Aches

  
  Chronic Chick Talk — Authority: 427
  I’ve learned to be creative finding ways to reduce my pain level and it’s not been easy. I have a rice pack that I warm up numerous days during the day. Sure I could use a heating pad, but the rice pack offers moist heat which seems to sooth my muscles at least temporarily. If you’ve lived with chronic pain for ...

  When my agent was shopping my first book out to publishers, it was an incredibly tense time. I’d done all I could do to set myself up right, and now the decision was out of my hands.

  Multi-Tasking Mama — Authority: 119
  Today’s theme for Thankful Thursday is trials.  I think that is an appropriate topic for me to write about given the events of the last few weeks ( or my whole life if you want to get technical ).
