Dream Believe Achieve: No Man, Woman or Mutant Is An Island

http://write-bend.blogspot.com/2013/04/no-man-woman-or-mutant-is-island.html

To follow extrordinary dreams one must take an extraordinary journey. Tuesday, 30 April 2013. No Man, Woman or Mutant Is An Island. Thankfully though I had my saving grace, my horses. And if I'm honest the more time I spent with humans over the coming years the more I grew to love my equine friends! I seem to be a magnet for people who take advantage of my kindness and generosity, using me, bleeding me dry then tossing me aside when I'm no longer useful. That fact was truly brought home to me on Sunday w...

Dream Believe Achieve: May 2014

http://write-bend.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html

To follow extrordinary dreams one must take an extraordinary journey. Friday, 16 May 2014. To my dear IndyCar Family, this is a post I hoped I would never have to write and have tried everything I possibly can this past week to avoid. But as much as I hate to admit it, I am so sorry that I'm not going to make it over the pond to the Indy500 this year as I'd very much hoped to do. I will of course still be as involved as possible in this year's race, watching and tweeting from across the pond. But it ...

Laughing from my sickbed...: "Cookbook Medicine": Really?

http://laughingfrommysickbed.blogspot.com/2014/01/cookbook-medicine-really.html

Laughing from my sickbed. View my complete profile. Monday, January 13, 2014. I'm afraid I've fallen into that phase where I have so much to tell that, because I have no idea where to start, I've become paralyzed. What a silly way to be! So, this post is not so much about my colonoscopy but the lessons I learned - or which were reinforced as a result of my experience - in the recovery room with doctors who seemed more like robotic technicians than patient advocates. More on this in a moment. Fibromyalgia...

Laughing from my sickbed...: Month in Review...

http://laughingfrommysickbed.blogspot.com/2014/01/month-in-review.html

Laughing from my sickbed. View my complete profile. Friday, January 31, 2014. St Louis' Record Blizzard of 1982, snowed in for a week! I hate to sound like the old fogie that I am, but really, where has January gone? It's been an eventful month. In fact, s. O eventful that I've barely blogged. (Eye roll! I came down with bronchitis this past week. Now I'm on antibiotics and strict bed rest. I'm a bit grumpy because I had so hoped to start in on trying to declutter the house. Darn it! Continuing along: as...

Laughing from my sickbed...: Fibro, HGH and DHEA...

http://laughingfrommysickbed.blogspot.com/2013/02/fibro-hgh-and-dhea.html

Laughing from my sickbed. View my complete profile. Thursday, February 21, 2013. Fibro, HGH and DHEA. You mean you're STILL looking for what's going wrong? I know I keep going on and on on about Human Growth Hormone "Deficiency" (I have trouble with the term but that will have to keep for another post). You may very well be thinking, "here we go again," but there really is good reason to go on about HGH today! My doctors and I are in a bit of a surprised state. DHEA levels can actually fluctuate based on...

Laughing from my sickbed...: A Practical Suggestion For Vitamin Deficiencies

http://laughingfrommysickbed.blogspot.com/2014/01/a-practical-suggestion-for-vitamin.html

Laughing from my sickbed. View my complete profile. Sunday, January 5, 2014. A Practical Suggestion For Vitamin Deficiencies. However, how many of us understand the significance of the RDA's? However, there are many. In talking to my rheumatologist, he gave me a relatively easy formula to follow. He finds, in his mostly fibromyalgia practice, that giving his most challenging patients high doses of vitamins daily helps in their management. Taking a readily available multi-vitamin THREE. His patients are i...

Dream Believe Achieve: May 2013

http://write-bend.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html

To follow extrordinary dreams one must take an extraordinary journey. Sunday, 19 May 2013. I'm often asked what it's like coping with my condition and the consequences it has on my life. Obviously words like frustrating, painful and frightening come straight to mind but the emotions involved in having your world turned upside down by sudden, debilitating, incurable illness are far deeper and complex. When I look into the mirror, who is it that I see? So many different faces are looking back at me. The me...

Dream Believe Achieve: June 2013

http://write-bend.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html

To follow extrordinary dreams one must take an extraordinary journey. Wednesday, 5 June 2013. Because I'm Worth It? So first things first, I must apologise for not having updated my blog for such a long time, the past few weeks have been rather hectic to be honest. I will endeavour to catch up over the next few days but please bear with me. Thankfully the one good thing I did get from Prof was access to some fantastic Orthopaedic surgeons down in the same hospital group who, over the past 7-8 years, have...

Dream Believe Achieve: Fear Must Never Win

http://write-bend.blogspot.com/2013/04/fear-must-never-win.html

To follow extrordinary dreams one must take an extraordinary journey. Wednesday, 17 April 2013. Fear Must Never Win. I have absolutely no intention of ever making this blog political or even overly topical. But like any sane, rational, feeling human being I am deeply shocked, sickened and saddened by the horrendous events at the end of the Boston Marathon on Monday. My heart, thoughts and prayers continue to go out to everyone involved and affected by this dreadful atrocity. Precious lives to the fullest...
