The Chronically Ill Vegan Ballerina's Mostly Holistic Lifestyle Blog
A site dedicated to feeling well and positive while being sick…and the things that I used to get me as well as possible.
It's inevitable. People will let you down. That's why I went into veterinary medicine and have animals. Sometimes I just feel like giving up on people, or not trying so hard anymore. Sometimes it's hard to do those Tiny Love Challenges and Be the change. Sometimes I just want someone to dote on me for… Continue reading When people let you down
Chronic illness symptoms can get you at anytime. I was all prepared to do my DIY Christmas present projects, plus more DIY laundry detergent and DIY toothpaste. I had to run to the store for some last minute gifts for my dad, as I got my mom more than my dad. Which is usually what… Continue reading Merry Christmas Eve, I am ill.
Merry Yule, Happy Winter Solstice today. Just a warning that this blog post tonight has some graphic content in about domestic violence. I haven't gotten to write in a few days. I had migraines two days in a row. But today was better. I went to some friends' house to have conversation, tea, and… Continue reading Letting go and endurance
What if we each embraced our Flawsomeness instead of talking negatively to ourselves? If we each talked positively to ourselves, gave ourselves self-love, and maybe a hug....or at least a nice warm soak in the tub frequently; do you realize how much we could raise our own vibration? How about the collective vibration of the… Continue reading We are all Flawsome
Last night we went to see The Last Jedi, Episode 8 in Star Wars. Yes, I'm kind of a Star Wars geek. Just ask Wicket W. Warrick, The Ewok, who was given to me for Christmas in 1982, and is still with me today, albeit, a little flattened and scruffy. I have multiple Wicket… Continue reading There was a disturbance in the force last night
There are so many things to write about flying through my mind. Now is not the time to be doing research for my future blog on CRPS/RSD, as my computer is slightly messed up. Yesterday, I guess it was, I saved the above 3 pictures off of Instagram when I made my "story" up… Continue reading How my thinking has changed over my lifetime
Hello!!!!! I got socked with a migraine Monday night about 8:30pm, after posting my last blog update on being a Guinea pig. I took my night time meds, including the brand new propanolol at 8:15pm, and by 8:22, I was feeling funny and had to lay down. I was out of it and couldn't move… Continue reading migraines and cool surprises in the mail
Today is Day 4 of the CBD oil Guinea Pig trial. I am also being put on propanolol to see if it helps with my Complex-PTSD. I just got home from my 4 month check-up with my family doctor. I like her. I've been going to her since about 1994, after the doctor that… Continue reading I’m a Guinea Pig
I apologize! This is only really the third day of me blogging. I thought I put this on the blog. I couldn't check the site because of internet problems. We've discovered our filter for our phone line and internet was corroded, so we need to get new ones. So this isn't actually going out until… Continue reading My Fire Fox hates WordPress when it’s snowing, or, Day 2
As some of my close friends know, I am really into meditation, herbs, supplements, essential oils, etc. Basically mindful thinking and plant and mineral medicine. I have been working really hard on living in the present moment for the past 5 years. (And it is REALLY a struggle some days!) I have been meditating off… Continue reading Stress & Meditation thoughts
