I was embarrassed to find that I haven’t blogged since March. What the heck have I been doing with all my time????? Sad to say, I haven’t been doing anything of note. It’s been a trying year and I have found myself drained physically, mentally, and emotionally. At the beginning of the year, my Dad’s […]

Taking Care of Others
So many times in life, we have to take the focus off our own problems and help others in need. February was like that for me. My father has emphysema, but it’s controllable with inhalers. At the end of January, he became very ill. Now that we’ve sorted it all out, there were three things […]
Happy New Year!
I would like to wish all my readers a Happy 2008! May it be a prosperous, enjoyable year filled will whatever you want it to be. I have to apologize for the lack of posts at the end of the year. I had so many things to do with the holidays that I didn’t take […]
Children and Chronic Pain
I can deal with my own limited abilities, but I really have a hard time when children are going through the same thing. We accept that adults will suffer more pains as they grow older. Children should never be pain though! One of my 11 year old relatives was diagnosed with OCD (osteochondroitis dissecans) last […]
Capzasin Roll On is Back
Capzasin took the roll on off the market a couple years ago. I was really disappointed because I use that all the time. But now it’s back! If you’ve ever used hot pepper lotion, you’ll know that it’s dangerous to get it on your hands because always ends up in your eyes. When I buy […]
Happy 4th of July!
It’s the Little Pains
I’m always worried about having some spectacularly, clumsy accident that will plop me on the couch for a week. So, why is it when I do almost nothing at all I have the most pain? Yesterday, I took care of the dog’s breakfast. As I was walking down the hall, I felt a little pull […]
Walkwell Shoes Rock
As I posted a couple of weeks ago, I’ve been trying out a pair of Walkwell shoes. I haven’t had much good luck with shoes over the last 10 years so I really didn’t expect much. I have to say that these shoes rock!!! Normally, it takes me a week or more to break in […]
Trying Another Pair of Shoes
If you have problems with your feet then you will understand. Over the last 10 years, I’ve bought about 8 different pairs of “special” shoes. I’ve got orthopedic sandals, Pedors, Converse high top tennis shoes, Keds, orthopedic old lady shoes, and so forth. I’ve spent anywhere from $10 to $100. All of them look so […]
Probiotics Part III: Back to Acidopholus
After spending a little over a month on Natrol’s Acidopholus Complex, I decided my stomach didn’t feel the same as it did on plain ol’ acidopholus. So, two weeks ago, I switched back. It didn’t take long before my digestion was working better. I wasn’t having stomach problems, but I didn’t feel as I good […]
