thefussymama.com/the-best-cold-and-allergy-remedies-for-pregnant-and-nursing-mamas Allergies and colds are tough enough, but when you’re pregnant or nursing, your options for safe remedies and medications to treat them can feel extremely limited.After five and a half years of treating colds and year-round seasonal allergies (thanks, Texas!) while pregnant and/or breastfeeding, I know how hard it can be to find safe, natural, and effective options. During this time I’ve sought out the expertise and experience of many doctors, midwives, naturopaths, and herbalists to build up an arsenal of safe options. Now I’m sharing them here with you!

If you have chronic illness you know exactly what a “spoonie” is. If you are reading this & wondering what the heck is a “spoonie”? I don't blame you, I didn't either… until I became one. (But don't go anywhere this list is for you too because it's a Self Care list for anyone.) “Spoons” are how people with chronic illness rate their energy levels from day to day. Everyone- chronically ill, or not- has a set number of spoons to get through the day. Let's say 20. Every task you do uses energy, aka spoons. Sometimes getting out of bed, changing your clothes, & brushing your teeth may take 5 spoons, other days might be 2, we never know from day to day how much simple tasks will take from us. When we run out of spoons we quite literally crash. This is where & when learning & knowing about Self Care is important. Self Care, also allows you to take care of those around you. You are not lazy or selfish. You are surviving.

when it comes to treating and healing under the broad spectrum of mental health, one size does NOT fit all. If affirmations give you hives, and forced positivity makes you roll your eyes so hard you strain your optic nerve, then you've come to the right place my friend. In this house, the treatment plan is liberal use of sarcasm and dark humour, a fuckton of rude words, and a soupcon of rage for flavour. Insight focus on the “in”, not the “sight”, and worksheets are worth the paper they're printed on. Patient - heal thyself! For the physicians surely won't.
