Wellness Wednesday – Enbrel Update

Wellness Wednesday – Vision Board 2022
On Sunday, I got together with a few of my friends to create our vision boards for this year. Though I’ve created vision boards for the last two years, this was my first opportunity to do it in person! (In … Continue reading
Wellness Wednesday – Better Than Serotonin…
Ten days ago, I thought I was going to end up in the hospital again. My generalized unspecific inflammation had skyrocketed with the introduction of a new medicine the day after Thanksgiving, and a week later, I had to stop … Continue reading
