Long Overdue Post

 Hi everyone,

I am so long overdue on posting, and I plan to get a lot better about more timely entries.

I have been having a very rough winter!  The wind is so bad, and keeps me from being outside.  The wind causes my dizziness to get much worse and amplified.

My migraines have not changed much, but these strong cold fronts that come through have really made some days of migraines unbearable.

I have had a very bad week and a half, and finally today, I feel that I can write.  I am still not doing a whole lot, but, I am happy to be able to write.

Yesterday, I was so weak and fatigued, I couldn't even speak.  I was dizzy, had a migraine all day, had trouble walking around by myself.  I needed a great deal of help.  I also woke up at 12:39am, and only took a couple of short naps.  The photo isn't pretty or glamorous by any means, but it shows me asleep wearing my eye massager, and using my butterfly pillow, which is a perfect neck pillow, and keeps my neck from hurting so bad when I fall asleep wearing my eye massager.  Luckily, I actually slept until 5 am this morning, and felt like I overslept! LOL.  I usually wake up between 2 and 4 am.

Anyway,

I hope you are all doing well, and please re share my blog! I am trying to get my page out to more people, and I am still new to this.  Thank you for reading!

Sarah

Things that make me Smile

Image
  Hi again, I am not sure If I am reaching anyone, but I will write anyway. I thought I would share a few things that make me smile and bring me happiness. I have a loving husband of 21 years, and an amazing son who is 19! They are always taking care of me, and making sure I am okay, and helping me do all sorts of things. My parents, are amazing, and also so very supportive! I also have some amazing friends and family, and extended friends of friends, and so on, that are also so wonderful, and supportive. I love the color purple, and I love to coordinate colors, and outfits, even when I never leave the house, and that can often be for a week or more at a time. Sometimes, that's because I need to stay home because I have lists in every room, or because I am not feeling well. Sometimes, it's a choice. I love Vera Bradley bags of all kinds and sizes and colors, Skechers shoes, of all colors, I do have a few favorite types of shoe. I love The Pioneer Woman...

New form of Therapy!

Image
Hi everyone, I spent last week in Asheville, NC, at the AVORA health center where I completed a 5 day long therapy session in the Gyrostim machine. There were 4 meetings/ evaluations with the doctor, and then 10 therapy sessions, 2 a day. They did multiple tests and I got some valuable information and exercises and I believe the therapy will have positive effects, not a cure, but perhaps I’ll be able to make a grocery store trip a little longer without having a major dizzy episode. I’d like to share a few pictures and videos with you all, and perhaps they will be of some interest and help to you. Thank you so much for your time, support, and positive feedback only😊 I also invite you to ask questions, I’ll be happy to answer them. Sarah

First Time Blogger

              Good Morning All, I am new to blogging, as this is my first time. I am Sarah, and I have a few hidden disabilities, and like many of you, they have changed my life in many impactful ways. I want to share my journey with you, and I hope you will share your journey with me also. I feel that together we can help and support each other, and that is one of the biggest and most important part of all of this! I live in the northern piedmont of North Carolina, in the country, with lots of land, and privacy.  I have been married to my one and only husband for 21 years, and we have one amazing 19 year old son. Since I am just getting started, I am going to go back to the beginning of this journey. In October of 2023, I was getting headaches more frequently and they were more intense, and I was dizzy all the time, I felt like I was moving when I wasn't and when I was still, I felt like everything around me was moving. I began going to doct...
