Shaky Mental Health
***WARNING: SENSITIVE CONTENT/IMAGES. VIEW WITH CAUTION. 11/06/2019-Ongoing These past two or so weeks have been tough. And honestly, I have no idea why. I am thinking either I am just extremely exhausted (Working 40 hours a week, school ending etc). Another thing is, I haven’t skated in over a week because of the injection procedure. So…
Flaring during Exams
These past few days I have been completing mid-terms and finals for two different classes (with a third class about to start). However, my body has also been flaring. There has been some unbearable body pain (that has been getting better over the past few days). A few days ago it hurt just to sit…

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.

Biggest Mistake – Humira
Ankylosing Spondylitis has been a journey on it’s own. With all the treatments I was going through and some were little to not working at all. My doctor suggested Humira. An injection that I would inject myself with once a week, every two weeks. Looking for any sort of relief I gave in and I…
Life saving Open-Heart Surgery could be the cause to my medical hell?
