How about a little get to know me post? It's been How about a little get to know me post? It's been a while and I have a lot of new faces around here lately, too! (over 830 of you now! wow, you guys are amazing to me)

First, you likely are here because of my chronic illness content, so let's knock that out of the way real quick.

Illnesses

- chronic migraine
- lyme disease
- mold toxicity 
- pots
- chronic fatigue
- chronic pain
- depression and anxiety

yep, I'm a mixed bag of delightfulness. ha! 

Treatments

I'm all natural for treating Lyme and mold. I'm on medications for the migraine disease and pots. 

I currently am on Emaglity once monthly injection and Ubrelvy for pain when the migraine attack pops up. 

And, a beta blocker for pots - which was SUCH a lifesaver... my overwhelming and scary symptoms all but stopped once on it.

Family

I have three awesome boys - all teens - with kickass names but I try to keep that off here since, you know, privacy and all, but if you are in my stories you'll have heard me say their names before. 

I've been married for 21 years and we've been together for 25.

I'm turning 45 this October 26th! Soon I'll be closer to 50 than I am to 40. I wrote about my midlife crisis of sorts on Medium today, it's linked in my bio.

We live in Texas but I was born and raised in Missouri up until about 9 years ago when a job transfer brought us south.

I'm a Christian, I am totally head over heels for Jesus, but I don't beat people over the head with my faith. I do talk about God here and there, because that's what you do when you love someone, but just know - no matter your beliefs, you're welcome here. 

I love to swim, love the lake, never seen the ocean in person, prefer the mountains over a beach, like to fish, not into hunting though, and be in nature. If I knew how to camp, I would. 

I'm a writer, blogger, and artsy type. I love working from home, and have for 20 years. Even with all my illnesses, I still work. (freelance)

My first car was an old convertible, which I promptly wrecked. lol

I love all genres of music and prefer TV to movies.

That's me! ha! Hope you enjoyed this little peek into my life and who I am. 

Thanks for being here.
When you feel invisible because of your invisible When you feel invisible because of your invisible illness, know that you're seen, you're known, and you're loved by a community that understands exactly what you're going through. 

It's one of my biggest pieces of advice to somebody diagnosed with a chronic and invisible illness, connect with a community spoonies. 

You're going to need support; you're going to need people who will listen, who will care. 

Whether you find that community online or in person, get connected.

I hope you have that with your family and your existing friends, but I've found that often the people who can support me the best know how it feels to be sick.

Hang in there, friend.

Find your crew.

Support one another.

You aren't invisible here.
A little afternoon in the life vlog. Just experime A little afternoon in the life vlog. Just experimenting a bit with this kind of vlogging.

I am not big into video heavy social media, really. I am not sure where I fit into this video heavy focus on it lately but thought I'd at least try a few vlog style videos and go from there. 

I hope you enjoy this little peak into my day.
Just trying to make the most of my day while also Just trying to make the most of my day while also treating my pain. You know the drill.
