Last week I had an opportunity to do a 5 day challenge with #DialNutriSkin, to get my skin ready for Spring. As someone who’s dealt with extremely dry skin my entire life, I have probably tried every lotion under the sun. I’ve bought expensive stuff, cheap stuff, all-organic, homemade, etc. You name it, I’ve tried [...]
I am so happy to have Amanda here today from Margaritas and Mohawks. Not only is she new to the world of mommy blogging, she’s also my best friend and the mother of my beautiful Godson. Amanda’s Aunt Bonnie tragically lost her leg and eventually passed away due to complications from Diabetes type II. Dealing [...]
So it’s been about two weeks since I started taking the 4X Probiotic by Member’s Mark, which means it’s time to check in! When I first got the probiotics in the mail, I have to admit I thought the package was big and a little intimidating. I keep my pills in a container in my [...]
Did you know that September is national self improvement month? Neither did I. Quite frankly, I would have assumed that would have been better suited for January, when everyone’s working hard to stick with their New Year’s resolutions. (For a week or two, anyway). January is national diet month / staying healthy month though . [...]
One of the downsides of being your neighborhood friendly and fabulous Crippled Girl is the often large amount of medications I take daily for both diabetes and pcos. (No meds for the LGMD, since there’s no real treatment for the muscle deterioration.)And with trying to get pregnant, I’m also taking pre natal vitamins and herbal [...]
At least that’s what my RE says. My follow up appointment Thursday morning went pretty much the way I expected it to. Yes, I have poly cystic ovarian syndrome, aka pcos. However, the good news is that I still have eggs, my thyroid levels are normal, and most of my other levels are good [...]
I’ve been trying to figure out how to write this post for almost a week. Each time I’ve attempted it, I cry or go off on tangents or feel like there’s just not enough space to write it all out. Two weeks ago, I (finally) had a doctor’s appointment in the right place, with the [...]
After gorging on takeout pizza last night, I was feeling guilty about the inevitable skyrocketing blood sugars I was sure I’d be dealing with over the next few days. I laid in bed, running through the mental list of everything I had consumed in the past 12 hours (oye.) and was just generally feeling sorry [...]
After three long months of unanswered voicemails, i got a call from my genetic/fertility counselor last week. I was hoping for an update of any sort, really, but was surprised with news. Really great news. Some rule or guideline has changed, making the genetic testing I need in order to move forward with getting pregnant [...]
128. It’s taken months of stress and change. I’ve cried and screamed and despaired. 128. My blood sugar number. In November, my blood sugars were a steady 350, if not higher. “Healthy” range is 90-130 (before meals). It may be by the skin of my teeth, but I’m there. I need to be able to [...]
