Raising Awareness About Life

Modifications and Coping

Modifications and Coping

January 15, 2017 ribbonrx Comments 7 comments

Finally, a post that’s not about dry medical procedures and appointments! I’m not expecting this post to be much of anything, though. I just need an outlet to get my thoughts together. Since my appointment with Dr. J the first week of January, I’ve made the specified modifications he asked me to do to…

Non-Tilty Tilt and QSART

Non-Tilty Tilt and QSART

January 13, 2017 ribbonrx Comments 3 comments

Today I had what is hopefully the last of my testing to determine which form of dysautonomia I have and what caused it. Combined with my testing from the other day, I’m hoping the diagnosis and cause should be fairly evident by the time all is said and done. I could hardly sleep last…

Whoa, I’m…Radioactive

Whoa, I’m…Radioactive

January 11, 2017 ribbonrx Comments 7 comments

Indeed, I am currently radioactive. Here’s proof: This would have been hilarious had I had my jury duty at the federal courthouse this January instead of last January. Really, officer, I can explain… So the obvious question is, why am I radioactive? Well, as stated in the pictures above, I had medical testing done…

Deducing My Heart

Deducing My Heart

January 8, 2017 ribbonrx Comments 8 comments

No, this isn’t a post about love or relationships. My life is slightly more complicated than that right now. On Friday afternoon, I received a phone call from CardioNet, the company providing the heart monitor I was to wear for two weeks. A nice lady asked me if it had arrived yet. I said…

The Light

The Light

January 5, 2017 ribbonrx Comments 4 comments

Like an unsung melody The truth is waiting there for you to find it It’s not a blight, but a remedy A clear reminder of how it began Deep inside your memory Turned away as you struggled to find it You heard the call as you walked away A voice of calm from within…

The Dysautonomia Hunt Begins…

The Dysautonomia Hunt Begins…

January 3, 2017 ribbonrx Comments 9 comments

And 2017 is off to just as fabulous a start as 2016 was. (That was sarcasm.) Only the third day in and I’m already being given a million-dollar workup. I’m having a difficult time deciding where to begin. There’s a whole ton of information flying through my head that I’m having trouble keeping track…

For All That You Have Done

December 31, 2016 ribbonrx Comments 0 Comment

Start humming “Auld Lang Syne.” (Seriously, just work with me here.) “Your grace will never be forgot Your mercy all my life Will be my soul’s forever song My story and my light…” It’s easy for me to sit here and bash 2016 for what a horrendous year it was. I’ve already done a…

Top Posts of 2016: Endo and Tumors and Aneurysms, oh my!

December 28, 2016 ribbonrx Comments 0 Comment

As the year is (finally!) drawing to a close, I decided to go back and look at some of my old posts to see how life has changed in the past six months since I started this blog. My goal was, and still is, to raise awareness about certain chronic health issues that affect…

We Wish You A Spoon-ful Christmas!

We Wish You A Spoon-ful Christmas!

December 26, 2016 ribbonrx Comments 1 comment

Now that Christmas has come and gone, I suppose it’s time to be like everyone else and write about it! I’ll start with Christmas Eve, since that’s when all the action started. The day began quite horribly. I was still wearing the Holter monitor, and it’s a good thing too, because I was extremely…

If that picture doesn’t sum up how today has gone for me, then nothing will. But first we need to back track to yesterday.
