Body Flare

Hey guys. I was wondering if any of you have had any random body flares lately? Either more pain then normal, or more fatigue then normal? I have been suffering from a bit of both. My pain levels for the last week have been resting at a 7-8/10. I am having a lot of trouble…

Avoiding Burnout

  I have been close to having another Burnout. And for some reason it is always at the same(ish) times of the year. September/October and goes a bit into November. Now. I was able to control this one. And I lasted a lot longer then I would have thought. I was so tired. But I…

Avoiding Burnout

06/23/2019~ I am on the verge of burning out. I don’t know if it is because of my adrenal glands malfunctioning once again. Or if I am just overworking myself. The main Burnout symptoms are; Anxiety Headaches Lack of sleep Fatigue An increasingly cynical outlook on life and work If anyone read my previous post…

Urticaria

06/17/19 – As you know, I saw an allergist today. For a follow-up on that appointment you can click here.  But summary, I was diagnosed with Chronic Urticaria. So what is Chronic Urticaria?

Number 8.

Today (June 11th, 2019) I went for my Spine Injection Procedure #8. And of course. Like almost every other procedure I have had, my period decided to pop up. (Everyone think’s it’s related to the stress). So basically I went in, in the afternoon. There was a lot of people waiting in the room so…

Massive Disappointment: Avoiding Provincials

  I don’t figure skate or compete like everyone else. Yes, it is nice to beat my personal best scores. But to get a medal? A medal is nice, especially when you do a great program but that’s not why I am in it. I use competitions as an adrenaline boost to keep my body…

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…

Adrenaline addiction resulting in temporary pain relief

Being an athlete is not always easy. Every sport is hard in their own way, however I can only talk as a figure skater since that is the only sport I have continued to do for 18 years and counting, (done: ballet/dance, swimming, field hockey, track and field-but none ever stuck). As you know from…
