Midnight Thoughts: A Life Update
Chronic pain is the number one reason I kept going back and forth about becoming pregnant. I was worried about the affects pregnancy would have on my body and what it would entail to carry a baby for 9 months.

Manual Adhesion Release: What is it & How it’s been Helping Manage Chronic Pain

Do you want the good news or bad news first?
Well, since I was super morbid in my last post, maybe I should start out with the good. Good news is all my tests I took (the EMG, an MRI of the brain, and an MRI of my lower back) all came back normal & to rehash the whole cervical spine degeneration arthritis bit -... Continue Reading →
A Very Morbid Health Update
A part of me secretly hopes my neurologist finds something abnormal, at least it'll explain all the wrong that's been happening to me.
