Before and after! I have been getting weird rashes

Before and after! I have been getting weird rashes for the last year or so, and my dermatologist decided to take a biopsy. As you can see, it left a nice round ugly scar on my arm which is easy to see when I roll up my sleeves. I've been self conscious about how ugly it looks.
.

While listening to my husband playing a beautiful song this evening (he is practicing for a performance) I was hit with inspiration to grab a pen and turn my scar into something beautiful. Something something, happy little accidents. ❤🌻

Another published post under my belt! In this 2-pa

Another published post under my belt! In this 2-parter I go over the mechanism of action of Enbrel (basically explain in very simple layman's terms). I'm really proud of this one and put a lot of research and time into it. The 2nd part will focus on clinical trial results, side effects, and efficacy. Give it a read, comment and feel free to subscribe! Link is in bio 🐞

Ode to my shower stool: you make me feel confident

Ode to my shower stool: you make me feel confident about washing my hair. Showering is soothing, calming and refreshing again. You really make so much of a difference because I know I won't feel SUPER tired afterward or be in lots of pain from standing for so long. I got a LOT of hair to detangle, and I wouldn't be able to handle it without you. You always got my butt. Thanx, shower stool!

Took out a little time out for self care today. Grabbed a fab mug and painted my nails my favorite color. I've been a little up and down, but mostly up and its been SO REFRESHING. It's like I can finally see the light peeking through all the grey. I can breathe again 💙

Seen: everything I need for this morning while the power is out and I feel a little under the weather. A delicious coconut chai in one of my favorite mugs, a soft warm blanket made by and gifted to me by my aunt in law, a soft pillow, my comfy couch that's been with me through the years and a book I've been meaning to read for ages! @hitchhikersguide I'm excited to finally be able to recognize all the references my husband makes :p Here's to the power outage being as painless as possible!

I have a beautiful instrument called a Viola Da Ga

I have a beautiful instrument called a Viola Da Gamba, which translates to "viol of the knees" I haven't been able to play it for longer than 5 minutes at a time because holding it between my legs was just WAY too painful. Normally, this isn't an issue with someone who doesn't have painful, arthritic joints, but for me, it was self-inflicted torture. But alas, an amazing viola da gambist gave me the amazing idea of using yoga blocks to support the instrument and hold it up so I didnt have to use my legs and it has been a LIFE CHANGER. I'm going to practice right now and I'm SO EXCITED about the prospect of not having to halt my progress due to my creaky knees. I might have to send this woman all the proceeds of my first concert lol, or maybe just a really nice gift 😝 .

This is the perfect example of looking fine and be

This is the perfect example of looking fine and being a mess internally. I was suffering through MAJOR brain fog yesterday when this picture was taken to the point where I was manic. I couldn't keep a straight thought or focus and I was everywhere. .
Later in the day, I went to the supermarket with my hubs and realized towards the end of the trip that my hips were starting to lock up on me and the pain from walking longer distances was back. I cried because I felt stupid. I had just been writing an article for my blog the day before on how I had stopped my search for a mobility aid because I'd been feeling better about walking. .
My hubs, being amazing, brought me back from the edge and reminded me that the path to healing is not linear. Thank you for that, love. You knew exactly what to say❤ .

Nothing like feeling tired and needing rest, but laying down is crazy painful. Also, noticing that I'm swollen all over, AGAIN. We have noted that I flare when I get cold and have tried to keep me from getting cold when we go out, but its creeps into my bones no matter how close my husband drops me off at the door while he finds parking, or how many layers I drown myself in. Extreme heat triggers me too. Am I just going to be stuck indoors the majority of the year?!? How do you deal with this?

The largest organ of the human body needs love too

The largest organ of the human body needs love too. At my dermatologist appt right now and I have the sneaking suspicion that my dermatologist gave me the wrong medication for my skin. Also had to harass them for my biopsy results. Honestly, though, who watches the watchmen?
