So, today it was (rumoured) that a top athlete (Montreal Canadiens Goalie: Carey Price) was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome back in November. And from all the websites, posts, media etc., everyone was making fun of the illness and saying it was from “Carrying the team on his back,” etc. What people don’t realize….

Unfitting Bras
So…I have no idea what this is related too. If it is fibromyalgia symptoms going through the roof or if it is related to my period/hormones etc. But I am getting the worst breast pain in the history of breast pain. I have had this pain before and I believe I have written it in…
Adrenal Fatigue Reload
The past few weeks I have been over tired. I think it started before Christmas. In December when I started a new job and my hours have been all over the place and I have not been able to keep up. Some days have been 1-2 hours of working. Other days I work 12-15. And…
Surgery #2
Surgery number 2 has been completed about two weeks ago. I had a laparoscopy for Endometriosis and had the best care one could ask for especially in the dysfunctional Quebec medical system. While the day was set in stone for a month before the surgery. I only found out the time I needed to be…
Leaving Out-Patient Rehab: Cravings, temptations, continued program, anxiety and stomach ulcers
I have left the out-patient rehab program for my Binge Eating Disorder about two months ago. This rehab program was a shorter one, but I went in willingly and since it was my own choice I found it easier to go through. While I was there, I learnt a whole lot about myself and what…
Laparoscopy # 2 Confirmation- why number 1 failed
Today I got the prescription to have my second laparoscopy. I already signed the papers and it will be held at a different hospital then the last time with a new surgeon. No matter how hard it was to convince the doctor, I finally managed too. However, I know there is a reason behind why…
Trapped in a World Pool of Thoughts
So…It seems like my last few posts have been about the mental state. But I honestly think the mental state determines a lot in someones health. Is it normal for someone to cry every night for absolutely no reason? I mean start off on the verge of tears and all of a sudden they…
Headaches/Migraines- Normal or Not?
Lately. I have been getting these massive headaches. Ones that I can’t even describe to someone. It is sharp stabbing, throbbing pain that is over my right eye and that side of my head. The narrow visions I have before it happens. The nausea, throwing up, body sweats…it’s all getting more progressive. If anyone knows…
Concussion: 10 Day Headache…and Counting.
Well, April 29th, 2017 I relived what was probably one of my worst experiences in 2014. Someone hitting the back of my car while I was parked outside a light. However, the extent to the damage was 0…not even a scratch to the car. It happened in Montreal right near Saint Catherine’s street as…
The Tired Athlete: Recap of 2016-2017 Season
Now, before anything. The tired athlete is an actual thing but it is something that most athletes (amateur and professional), coaches (any level) and most people don’t know about. And sadly, it is a common mistake amongst many that they only begin to learn what it is when the athlete has hit it. So…
Relapse and Journey to (ED) Rehab-
As many of you noticed. These past few weeks have been extremely tough. For those who don’t know, or have missed the past few posts. I have completely relapsed with the binge eating disorder. I spent days/weeks trying to play it off saying everything was okay. When clearly it wasn’t. I tried to go to…
