Let’s explore the reasons why it is worth embracing our individuality, celebrating our differences, and forging our paths rather than succumbing to the pressure to conform.

Fibromyalgia
Ok, so I've got it. Not that I wanted it. But it explains a lot. And once a medical doctor diagnosed me with it almost two years ago, I could relax a little. At least I knew I wasn't going crazy. And I could stop drinking those Jack Daniels & Coke just to make the pain lessen and to help me sleep. (Anyone who knows me, knows I'm not a big drinker and anything carbonated flares up the old interstitial cystitis that I'm also blessed to have...so I couldn't win.) Interstitial cystitis (IC) is a relatively uncommon and enigmatic disorder characterized by pain in the bladder and pelvic region, typically accompanied by urinary urgency and frequency. Fibromyalgia is a more common disorder, with the prominent symptoms being diffuse musculoskeletal pain and fatigue,... IC patients display diffusely increased peripheral nociception, as is seen in fibromyalgia. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9201654/

Here is a pack you can make to keep on hand, to keep inside, safely away from others.

Fighting Off Microscopic Invaders
The annual flu season has begun. The flu, or influenza, is a contagious respiratory illness caused by a virus that infects the nose, throat, and sometimes the lungs. It is spread from person to person through coughs, sneezes, and touching contaminated surfaces. The flu will infect anywhere between 5-20% of the population or 31.4 million people. There are four types of flu; Influenza A, B, C, and D. Influenza A and B are the ones that cause most of the epidemics in the country. Influenza C is a mild respiratory infection that hasn’t caused an epidemic yet, while Influenza D only infects cattle. This disease can cause $10.4 billion a year in medical expenses and 16.3 billion in lost earnings. Here are some tips to survive this current flu season.
