Everyone keeps asking me how I am, how they can pray for me, or how I’m feeling. But the truth is, I don’t know. I have no idea how I’m feeling. My brain feels empty, detached. Like I’m just going through the motions. I’m functioning, and...

What is Die-Off? In one of my last posts, I mentioned that I was dealing with Die-Off. The question is though, what is die-off? Di-Off, also known as the Herxheimer reaction or Herxing, is when lots of bad bacteria and such suddenly dies all at once. Sounds straight...

I don’t know about you, but I had lots of fun on my first ‘Bookish Thoughts/Bookish Analogies’ post a while ago, and so I decided to do another one. Besides, this is one of my favorite series of books anyway. How can I not? 😉 As before, I know that...

Now, before we get into this post, I want to clear a few things up. First of all, I’m just one person. I’m going to try and be as accurate for the general chronic illness community as I can, but this is based on my experiences and personal thoughts....

As you may or may not have noticed, I’ve struggled in writing the last few posts for this blog. The thing is, I was not doing well. Not doing well at all. Apparently, yeast/candida die-off isn’t fun. 😉 It sent me to bed for a week, unable to even write for...

Today I would like to introduce Haily from Now All I Know Is Grace! Once you’ve enjoyed this article, don’t forget to look for more of her writing there! There’s no denying it: life with a chronic illness can be hard. Days are long and painful and...

Hello there. I’m very sorry for the longer absence than usual on my part. The thing is, I’m writing this from my bed at the moment while trying to deal with yeast/candida die-off. Not fun. Thankfully my mind it (mostly) back today. 🙂 However, that is not...

I was going to title this one ‘3 Ingredient Cucumber Salad’ to go with my Hot Chocolate recipe, but it technically has four ingredients, alas. 😉 It’s quite simple, easy, and safe. Plus, you can ever serve it to people who don’t have all your...
