Finally I slept through the night with awakening to vertigo. I have been taking the meclizine everyday since last Tuesday, 2 to 3 times a day. I am going to keep it up for another week to make sure this round of vertigo is done. I don’t know if the meclizine needed to build upContinue reading “Vertigo Free”

Move It or Lose It
That phrase takes on a whole new meaning when you have arthritis, fibromyalgia or any chronic illness. When my shoulder froze last year it was because I babied it. I stopped moving it because it hurt and it didn’t support me when I did yoga. Maybe I should have modified my yoga, but I shouldContinue reading “Move It or Lose It”
Vertigo
Vertigo you make the world go round.Why won’t you let me off?I never asked to be on this merry-go-round with you.Even when you’re still, I still feel off.The earth seems to tilt or feel like I am walking on a sponge.I never asked for you in my life.You are part of this disease I haveContinue reading “Vertigo”
Vertigo
Vertigo awakened me several times throughout the night. It’s 5 am and I am still having the occasional spin. My head is wonky and I am seeing trails when I move something in front of my face. I should have known when my tinnitus ramped up in volume and changed to a kind of testContinue reading “Vertigo”
Getting back into Shape
I started Yoga with Adrienne again. You can find her videos free on YouTube. She has many to choose from and I like her welcoming style. My cat, 🐈⬛ Blaze, has been assisting. She is a tough taskmaster. If she thinks I need to stay in plank or downward dog she will get under meContinue reading “Getting back into Shape”
Does Disability Limit Me?
The simple answer to that question is yes. It is more complex than that though. As you may have noticed from my posts, I still live a fulfilling life. I may not run any marathons, but let’s be serious, I never did. I cannot do everything I want to do, even on good days, IContinue reading “Does Disability Limit Me?”
Bad Poetry
Spring Fresh cut grass… It won’t last… Walking barefoot… Feels so good… Picking flowers… April showers… Hint of summer… I hear a hummer! -Rita L. Smith 3/30/2008 Forgive my bad poetry. LOL! Love, Peace and Light! Rita
Birthday Weekend
My husband is on a mission to make up for last year’s birthday. You know the one when everything shutdown. Covid messed up plans for more than just me… it messed up the whole world. Yesterday we got up bright and early to beat the crowds… and we did. There was virtually no one atContinue reading “Birthday Weekend”
Mea Culpa
Occasionally I do something so dumb that I cannot believe it. Rarely do I do anything that effects my health. All last week my hernia and reflux had been acting up. I was miserable and in pain, because the costochondritis decided to join the party too. At my follow up appointment for the Emagality, IContinue reading “Mea Culpa”
Joshua Tree National Park
Visiting Joshua Tree National Park has been one of my greatest desires since I first heard about it. Something had always prevented us from going. Finally the stars aligned and we made it. Let me tell you that photos do not do it justice. Though I was enamored by what I saw, when I wasContinue reading “Joshua Tree National Park”
