Stress IS Real!!!

-
The last few months have definitely been very stressful for me, and I know that any type of stress exacerbates my illnesses to the point that it takes a toll on me. Now, I know we all hear the saying that STRESS KILLS; well I am here to let you know that STRESS is a danger to anyone's health. When I say stress is a danger to anyone's health.....I mean it! I have gone through my mother being ill, to the point that she was in and out of the hospital, to dealing with my own personal issues, and not to mention my own health problems....but the one thing that made the STRESS take control was the passing of my mother. This is something that I don't wish on anyone!

Sometimes I may feel as if I am not stressed at all, but deep down inside the STRESS is tearing away at my body and mind. In December 2017, I weighed 184lbs.; by February 2018, I weighed 160lbs.; by Mid-April I weighed 145lbs; and currently I now am 138lbs. I have lost muscle mass, I look very frail and I am in the midst of a Lupus Flare. I can't stress to you all, that you definitely have to take care of yourself and find a way to remain STRESS FREE! Yes, it's easier said than done. This is a journey for me, as I am still in the grieving process. 

Stress is a natural physical and mental reaction to life experiences. Everyone expresses stress from time to time. Anything from everyday responsibilities like work and family to serious life events such as a new diagnosis, war, or the death of a loved one can trigger stress. For immediate, short-term situations, stress can be beneficial to your health. It can help you cope with potentially serious situations. Your body responds to stress by releasing hormones that increase your heart and breathing rates and ready your muscles to respond.
Yet if your stress response doesn’t stop firing, and these stress levels stay elevated far longer than is necessary for survival, it can take a toll on your health. Chronic stress can cause a variety of symptoms and affect your overall well-being. Symptoms of chronic stress include:
  • irritability
  • anxiety
  • depression
  • headaches
  • insomnia
Health is important! Life is important! Know what your stressors are and try to remove them.

Caregivers need care too!

-
As Caregivers, we tend to focus more on the family member we are caring for, and most times forget ourselves during this time. It is hard to focus on your health and well-being when you are taking care of your loved one; your end goal is to ensure they get healthy and back to living life as normal as possible. We wake up early, make sure they are fed, bathed and dressed; as well as if there are appointments ensuring that they are at all appointments. It is a daunting task to be the one to take care of the personal matters of your loved one, but the question remains, "Who else will do it?" Being a caretaker brings on a different type of stress that can wear you down and cause major burnout. One should never be ashamed to ask for assistance from other family members, especially those that are in the same state as you. Asking for help is the hardest part of being a caretaker, because you want to be the one to handle everything and do without feeling as if you are a burden to o...

Economical Constraints of Life with a Chronic Illness

-
Life with a Chronic Illness is a lot harder than you may think. I say that because I not only live with one illness, but I live with four Chronic Illnesses. All of my illnesses require me to take medication, and those medications can be costly if you don't have insurance or if you are on disability with Medicare. I see and hear all too often that many people especially diabetics are falling ill because they are rationing their medication,  and they are unable to pay for the necessary medications to keep them alive. I myself had to deal with this, and I have to admit that it was all so shocking to me to find out, that my seizure meds cost less with my Medicare insurance and GoodRX. I was also able to receive my test strips at a much lower cost; but there was something missing.....MY INSULIN!!! The problem is a medication that I NEED, I was unable to purchase because even with the prescription savings program and my insurance, I was required to pay $1100 out of pocket for four vi...

Happy New Year! Out with the OLD, in with the NEW!

-
We made it! Let's come together and be proud of the fact that another year has passed, and we get the chance to get it right for 2019! Last year brought heartache and pain, various doctor visits and memories that last a lifetime; but one thing it did not bring is DEFEAT! Many of you know that I live with various illnesses, and many ask me how do I do it...my answer is simple MY FAITH! My mother had been sick for a long time, and she was in and out of the hospital, having various surgeries, and through it all her FAITH never wavered. Yes, she always said being sick sucked, but through it all she prayed, and her family prayed with and for her. I found myself in a position of uncertainty, and that uncertainty caused me to stress and ultimately become sick myself. I found myself stressed to the point where I wouldn't eat, I wouldn't take my medication properly, I couldn't sleep and that took a toll on my body. I lost so much weight over time that I often was asked how am ...
