I got Covid in December of 2020 while teaching high school. I was not able to return for spring semester. In fact, I was in a wheelchair with a whole host of health issues until late summer of 2021. I was finally able to get around without a wheelchair eventually, but my life has never been the same. Four and a half years later, despite going to a Long Covid Clinic and seeing a multitude of doctors, I still don't have any real answers or treatments. I am better, but I am pretty sure I will always have a chronic illness that prevents me from living the same kind of life I did prior to Covid. This list is just going to consist of things that I have found helpful in this Long Covid Journey. I am in no way a medical professional, and I'm finding that with Long Covid, and probably other post-viral illnesses, something that works for one person may not work for another! But I am here to share what has given me at least a little bit of my life back or made things easier for me.

A very different standard than “dry lips” If you have Sjögren’s, you already know: our lips are not just dry. They behave differently. Sjögren’s disrupts the body’s ability to produce oil and moisture, which means the lips lose their natural protective barrier far more easily than in the average person. This leaves the skin thinner, more fragile, and often painfully reactive, with exposed nerve endings, burning, cracking, and constant rebound dryness. So a product that works for “chapped lips” often fails completely for us. This list is not about what feels glossy, trendy, or viral. It is about what actually supports barrier function, minimizes irritation, and protects lips that cannot regulate themselves properly. The products here are chosen based on: • Barrier repair, not just hydration • Long-term comfort, not momentary slip • Low irritation risk • And how formulas behave on lips with compromised oil and moisture production If you have Sjögren’s, lupus-related dryness, medication-induced dryness, or chronic xerostomia, this list is built for you — not for cosmetic dryness, but for medical dryness. This is about protecting skin that does not get the luxury of functioning normally.

Everyone has their favorite places to stay in Vegas so it would only be right if I shared my top 20 with you ! There are some on the strip for those who want to stay in the chaos of it all and some off the strip where they do not mind traveling about 5 to 10 minutes to get where they need too be. All of these hotels have different feels to them and different offers as well. Have a great time in Vegas Besties
