PP: Both hands, both knees, SI joint/hip, right neck/shoulder, right elbow, IBS, heavy lungs, tender right abdomen, kidney problems, insomnia, general anxiety. DPR: I know it looks like a lot still hurts, and it does, but even if I’m still having daily pains and trouble, even if the stress lately is enough to kill and…… Continue reading May 16th to 31st
This right here sums up exactly how I’m feeling at the moment. The whole avoid stress during this time of change and anticipation didn’t work out so well. If anything the stress has increased since we got our ‘good’ news and have been able to move on to the planning and DOING stage.…… Continue reading The clouds roll in and a shitstorm brews
Is what I’m telling myself. The anticipation has been killing us. Mr. mango and I. We have been very busy with paper work, accounting and meetings with the bank the last couple weeks and the wait is finally over. Well kind of. Anticipation is stressful. Especially for a control freak like myself. Having to wait…… Continue reading Don’t get too excited now.
It has been a rough start to the year. Even when my random assortment of disease, disorders and mish-mosh of symptoms haven’t been at their ‘worst’, all of them collectively have kept me pretty down and out. Not only has it been a difficult few months adjusting to life with more and more physical pain,…… Continue reading The long weekend I waited a long time for
I’ve been a little MIA lately and am totally fessing up. Not just here on the blog-sphere, but pretty much any avenue of not-in-person communication. My phone has backed up messages from my parents, my facebook is full of tags, notifications and chat invites and my email inbox is stuffed full of crap I don’t…… Continue reading Too tired to talk
It has been a busy last few days here at the Mango residence. Between the Mother Nature finally getting herself together and giving us some decent weather to garden in and some epic planning, meetings and number crunching the Mr. and I have been spread pretty thin. Not to say it’s been horrible though. The nice…… Continue reading Fingers crossed!
I have mentioned before that kinesiology tape is one of my go-to’s to try and alleviate break through pain (like here when I used it for migraine relief) and yesterday was an attempt at a new but at the same time old taping method. The pain in my right hand has been slowly getting worse over the last…… Continue reading Kinesiology Tape for Finger and Wrist Pain

DPR: It seems the sinus infection is finally wearing…… Continue reading May 9th to 15th
In our family we see nothing wrong with ‘breakfast’ any time of day. If anything a big pile of eggs, bacon and hash browns seems even more appealing after a long busy day than first thing in the morning (when my stomach really is only welcome to water, coffee and the usual morning meds). It’s…… Continue reading NO POTATO Breakfast (or any other meal) Hash
I want to start by saying, by no means am I an expert on the subject of depression or a medical professional of any kind. The experience is different for everyone and I don’t pretend to understand everyone’s perspective, only my own. I however am an expert on my own major depressive disorder and am basing this…… Continue reading Legitimate emotions during a depressive episode
