I am forty-three years old. Arthritis entered my life many years ago, but it wasn’t until I became a parent that the need for a fast acting, reliable pain reliever like Tylenol Arthritis became necessary. When I was younger I could handle the pain, but that often meant sitting on the sidelines watching my friends […]

The Impact of Trigeminal Neuralgia: I Thought We Had More Time…
Just over fifteen years ago Trigeminal Neuralgia knocked on my door and unlike the Big, Bad Wolf nothing stopped it from blowing my world apart.

This is one of my most favorite photos from when young William was born a few years ago. Lovingly held by his big sister, neither with a care in the world. At the time, although I knew that banking William’s cord blood was an option, it was very expensive and seemed like something we would […]
Making Mammogram Memories
Around the time when a woman turns forty ( yup, saying it out loud folks) things start to change and I am not talking about the weather. The hands on our internal clocks fall off, hormones start to act like we are sixteen again and all hell breaks loose in the reproductive system. Many of […]
#BellLetsTalk for Your Mental Health..
Today, Tuesday January 28th 2014 is Bell Let’s Talk day. Not everyone is a fan of Bell Media and that is their prerogative, but today Bell has done something really great. The Bell Let’s Talk initiative is literally to get people talking about mental health so that we can remove the stigma associated with it. […]
Allergic Reactions Get Some Help
When it comes to being prepared for an allergic reaction, I consider myself to be a well equipped parent. I have an Epi Pen in my purse at all times. We have one in the house as well as at our daycare provider’s home. My son’s school has one in the office and William wears […]
The Suicide Disease…
I have given some thought to writing a post like this, but never really made the effort to do it. The reason? My experience with Trigeminal Neuralgia, also called TN, was one of the most difficult times in my life and not just because of the physical pain it caused. I wanted to write about […]
