In the Beginning...............

I have seriously considered starting a blog for quite a while but have continued to put that thought on the back burner, until recently. I read a FB post from a friend who recommended I do just that, start a blog. So, here I am. I assure you that I am not a professional at anything! My entries will be filled with grammatical errors, my medical information will be my own experiences, not medical advice and my feelings will be raw, true and sincere. I’m not promising that posts will be uplifting. What I can promise is that my blogs will be true to my daily life. What I go through, how I make it with support from family and friends and how God gives me strength day by day.

This first entry will be a brief look into what I deal with daily, a list of my many medical conditions and a look into my bag of medications. And please, before I hear from anyone whose opinion is that I take too many meds, please Google each condition. Each has its own lengthy list of symptoms. Combine them all and you might possibly understand.

Give me time, in future posts to explain what a life of pain is like. Most likely, you will offer fewer opinions and send up more prayers.

My conditions are as follows.

* Immunoglobulin G Deficiency ~ a blood disorder, I receive monthly IV treatments @ Brookwood Hospital

* Degeneration  of Spinal Canal

* Degeneration of Spinal Discs

* Herniated Discs ~ Lumbar & Cervical

* Sleep Apnea

* Fibromyalgia (diagnosed over 10 years ago)

* Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (Extremely Painful!)

* High Blood Pressure

Every issue listed above has been diagnosed and then after many tests and blood work, confirmed by other specialist. In a later post I will explain all meds, Rx and over the counter meds.
Thanks for your love and support!!
