5 Years with Gaming4Guts
2021 marks five years doing fundraisers with the Gaming4Guts crew. It’s hard to believe that it’s been that long! I joined in 2017 after participating in the Extra Life charity streaming event raising money for the Children’s Miracle Network. I had wanted to do the same type of streaming event for Inflammatory Bowel Disease. After…
Why I Love(And Hate) Humira
Humira feels like a weekly reminder that I have an incurable autoimmune disease. That this is what my life is like now. That this is what I have to look forward to. And at times it’s depressing. I wish I didn’t have to be on medications but I know that this medication is my best…
#fridayreads: Killers of the Flower Moon by David Grann
This is the book I am reading this week. It’s the book that I am reading for my book club this month. I still have quite a bit to read so we will see if I can get it done by Sunday! I still have yet to finish The Way of Kings. It’s so interesting…
Traveling With Humira
Traveling with Humira is a lot easier than I ever thought it was going to be. When I first had to fly with it I was pretty paranoid. I made sure to have a note from my doctor and everything. I also got a nifty little cooler back from Humira. It works well enough for…

Lasik Eye Surgery – Still a Possibility?
I finally have an answer to whether or not I can get Lasik eye surgery done. And the answer is that I can get it as long as my health has been stable for at least 6 months. I feel like this is a tricky question because what does stable mean? Does it mean that…
Autoimmune Protocol Diet: Week Three
Hello everyone. This update is going to be a bit different. Because I had to stop the Autoimmune Protocol Diet unfortunately. My bowels this week pretty much had it. With this diet I was eating a lot of veggies and my colitis is currently not happy with that. So Thursday I ended up having to…
I Don’t Have Psoriasis….
… I have Eczema. I got diagnosed with it on March 8th. I have been having problems with my skin again. I had wanted my Rheumatologist to just prescribe me some steroid cream for it but he said that I needed to go see my dermatologist or my PCP for my skin problems. So I…
Autoimmune Protocol Diet: Week Two
Today marks my 14th day on the AIP diet. This diet has not been the easiest diet in the world. Some days are harder than others. What really makes it hard for me is the fact that I have to take my fructose malabsorption into account. And to take that into account that means I…
