Dec 29 Christmas

Written by Katie. Posted in Favorites, Memorable Experiences

Two years ago Allie almost died on Christmas night and my Dad had Prostate cancer. You can read Allie’s story here. Christmas has meant so much more to me ever since. It probably sounds cliche’ but between Christmas two years ago and this Christmas I finally get it. Like really, really get it. Christmas means Family. Friends. Forgiveness. Giving. Love. Hope. Faith.

Dec 08 Mind Over Matter

Written by Katie. Posted in Editorials

Today I did not spend time in a doctor’s office going over my physical symptoms. Rather, I spent my time at the doctor this morning sorting through emotional symptoms. For 60 minutes every other week, I sit and work through the mental issues and stress that come from day to day life with my psychiatrist of 11 years.

Today I am thankful for the people who inspire me. I am thankful for the living examples in my life that have either overcome, or are living with chronic illnesses in the most positive ways that they can…

I have family members and friends with MS who are running marathons, working full time jobs, raising kids…

Congeatulations!!!
I have two questions:
1. You’re standing while packing those baskets, do you force yourself to stand at times like that when you could sit?

2. Great zebra neck pillow I’ve been looking for more supports and pillows, do you have any recommendations? I need a better pillow behind my neck when I’m sitting in my recliner and probably lumbar support and something for my tailbone on hard chairs. There’s so many to choose from, it’s hard to know.

Great to here, Katie! I wish I could have such an in depth dr appointment, I haven’t been on the ER for a while but I can’t work and my exercise is moderate. But I keep working, I think my muscle problems from EDS have a lot to do with that. Right now I’m researching a lot of ways to ease those problems, trying to find braces, pillows, and supports etc. I don’t have a dr helping me so its trial and error but I’m trying my
best, I’ve been doing craniosacral therapy weekly and hopefully that’ll help my muscles activate and all of my pain. I think CST falls under OMM? I’ve been going for about two months and we’ve finally seeing inklings of progress. My csf flow is slow but its not getting caught on hang ups anymore! Unfortunately some muscles release & go back to back every week, hello, si joint, she said its very hypertonic .

How do you stay occupied when you are feeling your worst?
