Sunday, October 23, 2011. My Rheumy, My Friend. I feel fortunate enough to be at the point in my course of treatment that my 30 minute appointments with my Rheumatologist.

http://nycsickchickclub.blogspot.com/2012/03/when-i-wasin-school-i-never-settled-for.html
Thursday, March 8, 2012. Why I WILL Run Another Marathon. When I was in school, I never settled for mediocrity. I had to have the highest grades, be the most involved, etc. I just needed to be in charge. I never did anything halfway. I never settled for average. I wanted to be a star. I would only do things if I could be the star; or be the best there was. I am truly learning to be happy with myself, my life, my achievements, and my belongings – instead of comparing myself to those of others. The Life an...

http://nycsickchickclub.blogspot.com/2011/08/f-is-for-fatigue.html
Thursday, August 18, 2011. F is for Fatigue. Boy, have I been tired this week. Going to bed early, sleeping late, and generally feeling exhausted.

I had another a-ha! Moment this morning, as I rubbed my wrists and wondered why I was experiencing a flare of pain the last few days - my first flare in months. Jodi McK...
