I'm changing my blog from Fibromombie to Lyme Bite-Curious. I am pretty sure (actually I am 10000000% sure) that I'm a all to common classic case of Late Disseminated Lyme Disease misdiagnosed as Fibromyalgia/CFS. It's my personal belief that if you have been diagnosed with Fibro, you probably have Lyme. Fibromyalgia is a symptom of [...]
This week has been a living hell. In addition to feeling incredibly sick and in some of the worst pain ever, I was told that I am an embarrassment because I have asked for financial help with a fundraiser.... Twice. Yes. Twice. Is this something I am proud of? Absolutely not. It's actually one of [...]
https://www.youcaring.com/SaraTobin Over the course of a few months I have been dealing with some scary symptoms which I felt were unrelated to my chronic illnesses. This week I finally saw an ENT and had a solf tissue ultrasound of my neck. She found a suspicious lymph node. This, coupled with my ongoing symptoms and other [...]
It's hard living with a Chronic Illness. Tack on a few more just for shits and giggles, file them under "Invisible" and life just gets even harder. The amount of bullshit and beatings from the universe I keep receiving is bordering on the verge of complete and utter absurdity. I lost my health insurance, then [...]
*Edit - this is an old post. But, I forgot how to spell apple and my son had to tell me that I was lifting him out the ....what's the word? "Shopping cart, mommy. It's a cart" So, now I feel the need to post* That is literally the best I can do right now. [...]
I'm sure this is in poor taste and completely inappropriate BUT that's who I am so, oh fucking well. It's been brought to my attention that maybe I'm pushing people away with my - you don't understand what I am going through or how hard this is for me "excuse"...... So, here is a [...]
**This is NOT a negative post about my sons dad. Eli is very lucky, and so am I, because so many Dads are not present. A lot of Dads/Soon to be ex husbands - they wouldn't be so accommodating of the woman that wanted a divorce and pulled back the curtain on their deceivingly perfect [...]
So I got the sudden urge to come home. I woke up, called my mom...called my dad....and 3 hours later was on my way out of Georgia, headed to DC. Ok, headed to Northern VA - but most us DMV peeps (DC, Maryland, Virginia) say DC because we grew up just outside the city, [...]
***TRIGGER WARNING - If you have an eating disorder....You have been warned- and I am not your fucking trigger. Own your shit. Own your disease.*** I am too sick. I am not sick enough. Do you know how that messes with an anorexic's mind? MIND FUCK. And not to mention how that [...]
It kills me. This whole thing is killing me. I'm not getting better like this. I don't feel like I even exist anymore. I'm invisible. I feel like I'm dead inside. Empty. No heart. No soul. Just ashes. I'm grieving! I'm fucking beside myself! Am I allowed to just fucking breakdown and be miserable and [...]
