I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's 15 years ago. 13 years ago we discovered a small cancerous tumor on my thyroid and had it removed. I eat gluten free, take Armour Thyroid (mostly because I never felt good while on Synthroid/Levothyroxine) and I take supplements that help support my gut, liver and kidneys. I am human-sometimes I fall off the wagon of consistency with supplements, but when I feel my Hashimoto's starting to flare I go back on this regimen and it helps to calm everything down. In addition to supplements I practice hot yoga (the best detox IMO), practice diaphragmatic breathing to calm my Vagus nerve, use a rebounder periodically for lymphatic drainage and I have accupuncture one per month. It's frustrating to have to figure all of this out on my own, and it's not cheap, but there is nothing worse than feeling crappy and nothing better than feeling good so I do what I can to control what I can control

I first noticed Wellys in the first aid aisle at Target and was immediately attracted to their brightly colored and sometimes artful tin case designs. I never though much of them until I decided to grab a pack. It was a variety pack with bandages ready to cover small, medium and large wounds. What the hell, I thought. I didn't open the package right away, in fact I didn't open them till the first time I needed one. I was surprised to see a tough, sturdy fabric bandage. It felt as tough as some garments even! The adhesive was extremely strong, yet didn't have harsh chemicals and industrial glues, which are a no-no if you have sensitive skin. Despite what other brands offered, you know, first bit of moisture or tug in the wrong direction and it's off, these were almost a struggle to get off. But in a good way. The tough little bandages had it all. I was sold and I'm now a customer for life and I just wanted to share these with you. Maybe you haven't had the chance to give them a try, I promise you won't look back.

Everyone goes through cold and flu season at some point in time in their lives. Currently I'm in my cold and flu season era... Well at the tail end of it.

I got diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when I was 20 yrs old. It was a hard pill to swallow when I went 20 yrs care free on what I was eating. I was so embarrassed and it put me in such a dark hole. When you go 20 yrs not looking at a nutrition label and all of a sudden your having to calculate carbs/sugar to insulin, it's not easy... but not impossible. 3 yrs later I'm finally more confident in it. I love to show of my dexcom because although you may not need it, i do...and honestly it's pretty cool. I love to find different accessories and such to make it fun. Putting accessories on things like medical stuff makes everything a lot easier. I start to look forward to site changes of my dexcom just cuz I get to pick the next patch imma use. So here are some things I've used so far.
