Hello! A random slew of things have happened since the last time I’ve posted. First off, I did get good news. I went to my rheumatologist yesterday.

Hey, hey, hey, everyone! First off, I want to say thanks for reading my blog. It’s been a great step for me in changing myself “one petal at a time.” I have been chatting with people, which I was not doing at all during the pandemic — or much at all really before that.

Ah, my nemesis: Fatigue

So, since it is foremost in my mind, I’m going to talk about struggling with fatigue. Fatigue is a major symptomContinue reading “Ah, my nemesis: Fatigue”
