❤️ Health update ❤️ . In May of this year I was diagnosed with a very aggressive diagnosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis. I was told that this disease would progress very quickly and very aggressively, based on my blood work. I felt like my identity as a healthy and fit person was being challenged. . I sought out a highly recommended Rheumatologist, whom I’ve been seeing every 6 weeks since my diagnosis. She is caring and knowledge. I respect her opinion and prescription. . We discussed the fact that I’m an active individual and that I do not want to be on a ton of drugs or any prescriptions that have risky side effects. I wanted to find a reasonable approach that I would be comfortable with, that would also effectively manage my symptoms. . She originally prescribed a drug called Enbrel, which I ordered, but then refused to take. So I’m now taking a very mild drug called Plaquenil, and Prednisone on an as needed basis. I also take over the counter, regular Advil when needed. This combination has been working very well for me. . I began looking into alternatives such as cryotherapy, spices & herbs, diet changes, exercise, etc. . I implemented a few alternatives, which I can go into in a separate post because I felt as though a few of them worked well and a few had what I felt like had more of a placebo effect. I have a lot more trial and error to do before I can really say that any one thing has worked really really well for me and I’ll keep you guys updated. . This is just the beginning of my lifetime with this disease. I share because I know that there are other out there who are also dealing with this. My goal is to go into remission and stay there, and hopefully help others along the way . . . . . #peoplehelpingpeople #womeninspiringwomen #womenhelpingwomen #behappyandsmile #findyourhappiness #inspirechange #beyourself #loveyourself #livingproof #myjourney #healthmind #openyourmind #thinkpositively #arthritisfoundation #arthritiswarrior #arthritisawareness #successfulwomen #behumble #warriormindset #arthritissucks #arthritis #rheumatoid #beconfident #rheumatology #rheumatoidarthritiswarrior #rheumatoidarthritissucks #rheumatoidarthritis

There is a lot of misinformation when it comes to Rheumatoid Arthritis. What is the most common thing you hear when people find out you have RA? #chronicillness #rheumatoidarthritiswarrior #autoimmunedisease #ra #rheumatoidarthritisawareness #rheumatology #rheumatoid #rheumatoidarthritissucks

At my parents’ place this weekend soaking up all the fall goodness and watching my kiddos jump into leaf piles. It’s something I look forward to every year at this time! The smell of the fallen leaves is intoxicating. It's one of my favorite natural aromas!! Raking leaf piles for my kids at this time last year was nearly impossible for me. I also remember how it felt to zip my kids’ zippers and feeling exasperated because I couldn’t even grip the zipper to get it started. I felt like my body was failing me and I was failing my kids as their mom because I couldn’t take care of some of their most basic needs. Although I know now those were lies and I am learning how to replace those lies with truth it still stings when I think about it. At this time last year I was still a month away from my official diagnosis of RA, but I was experiencing the worst flare of my life. I was in unrelenting, never-ending pain. I often refer to it as the “flare to end all flares.” Some people refer to this as an RA onset flare, but it was definitely something that had been coming to a head for quite some time. I was addicted to NSAIDs (taking 12-16 Ibuprofen/day), and I was at my breaking point. Every aspect of my life had been affected by my RA and I needed relief...fast. I am so thankful that very soon after my diagnosis I discovered the AIP diet. This diet gave me my life back. Literally. Today, I feel very differently. I am managing my RA without meds for now. I have WAY more energy, minimal pain (and some days I am now even pain free !), a healthier/more balanced relationship with food and proper nutrition in general, and I am fully functioning again. I don’t say this lightly, and I’ve received criticism for saying this, but food is truly medicine. My RA isn’t gone completely, but it doesn’t consume every moment of my day anymore. I can run and play with my kids again, pick up both girls at the same time, zip zippers, button buttons, and walk on wood floors without shoes on. These are wins for me. Big, BIG wins. My prayer is that you too find healing and management of symptoms in whatever way that works for you, friends. Everyone deserves relief. ❤

Pain and disabilities don’t have to be visible. Most people don’t even know that I’m in pain, or that I have RA. My rheumatoid arthritis has not been liking certain foods lately. And it’s been a battle to figure it out. Some mornings I wake up in so much pain, I crawl like a baby. And other times I’m fine. It’s made eating not fun, and very limited. I hate eating now, and I get scared to eat, not knowing how or what is going to effect me. . . But the whole point of the story is that you never know by looking at people how they are struggling. So be patient, throw kindness & smiles around like confetti, and give them grace. . . And even though I’m in pain, I’m still modifying my workouts, cause I can’t just curl up in a ball(even though I wish I could some days), my joints crave movement! And I’m also prepping for a new program coming out next week! It’s only 20 minutes!! I can’t wait! Message me to get in my January group ASAP! I am opening up 10 new spots and they will go fast, cause it’s January!

Me. Today. Probably. . I can’t seem to shake this month-long fibromyalgia/rheumatoid arthritis flareup I’m having & I am very grumpy with my body. It needs to get its act together. I very clearly have things to do, people to see, and art to make. . We’re due for another winter storm starting tomorrow evening, so True Crime Book Club is being moved back a week for when there isn’t threat of negative degree temps and a snowstorm. My weekend has opened up as a result. I think I’ll spend it on my couch in my jammies, (FINALLY) watching Gingersnaps. Any other horror or true crime suggestions that I should add to the list?

I couldn’t move my leg. It was swelling up and the pain was unreal. I couldn’t stop crying. My sister was sleeping with me in my bed and she woke up immediately. She got out and started grabbing ibuprofen and pillows and started adjusting my leg while I kept crying. She held my hand while I waited for the pain killers to kick in. Then she told me stories and played music and calmed me down. My leg was rough for the rest of week but @karinaokoren kept helping me with changing my clothes and getting positioned to fall asleep. It is crazy humbling. The wild miracle about it is that no matter who my roommate is or where I’m living, I’ve been crazy blessed to find people who would help me change my clothes when I can’t manage it. People have been so wonderful and kind. I have a trillion heroes and a trillion saviors. Humanity is good and I am am so so so aware and indebted. ‍‍♀️‍♀️ also, Beth (my babe housemate) was a sneak and took this pic while I slept through the day in Oslo.

If you need me I’ll be with my heating pad and Netflix #autoimmunedisease #rheumatoidarthritis #fibromyalgia #chronicfatiguesyndrome #rheumatoidarthritiswarrior #chronicillness #chronicallyill #chronicpain #lupus #rheumatoidarthritissucks
