My mom and I are complete opposites in many ways, which tends to cause conflict.  She likes to remain ignorant of any potential unhappiness until it's already engulfed her.  I, on the other hand, prefer to know as far in advance as possible so that I can get all my worrying done ahead of time.  That way, when the bad times come, I'll have gotten the panicking out of the way and have gathered enough information to confront the issues head-on.

This, however, is not about my…

On the health front, I've been fighting several irritating battles. Apparently, getting my liver condition under control was just the first step. I've had a couple other issues pop up in the wake of that diagnosis, that aren't particularly serious, but manage to add to my vitamin-taking count.

To make a long, incredibly boring, and potentially TMI story short, I haven't been hitting the gym quite as often as I should, due to some rather nasty nausea issues. (No, not pregnant.) So when…

Several months ago, Nancy Grace was on my TV telling us ladies to listen to our bodies and tell our GYN when we have something that just doesn't seem right  - she did and it brought her a health scare, but the outcome was good. Now, usually I wouldn't listen to any advice from Nancy Grace, but I was about to go in to my GYN for my annual appointment and I had been feeling not right for quite a long time.

All I'll say for now is that it's nice to be back, and I've read the past several blogs, and am amazed at the strength…

Well, it's official, GirlWho has Ehlers-Danlos. Yup. Having her diagnosed as a child should hopefully prevent her from being in the position I'm in, and it seems that she's not quite as hypermobile as I am, which is a good thing. She will get modifications for PE under a 504 plan. I'm not sure how that will work yet. 

I'm glad we followed our gut instincts and kept her out of gymnastics and soccer - she's supposed to stay out of contact sports and she's to avoid bearing her…
