I am not a writer. I do well putting 3 words in a sentence these days. Fog in my brain seems to be thicker than “pea soup”. It has been an awful beginning to 2008, yet it has been better than 2007. I could complain, yet I know that only drives people away.
What is one [...]

Maybe and maybe not. I have now been on Lyrica
for 13 days. The energy level started to increase on Sunday. Monday I had 4-5 good hours.
Tuesday I had 6 good hours and today, I was awake, showered and coloring my hair by 7 a.m. Haven’t done that in months. I still experience excruciating pain [...]

I have decided to get a bit personal with this blog. Am hoping that the personalization might bring readers in and also share the facts vs. myths about HEPC.
Today was an okay day. I live in a apartment and keep my surroundings pretty simple.
There is a person I do pay to come in 1-3 times [...]

Because small employers and certain other employee groups do not come under this federal law, many [...]

I have had months of days and weeks that, well it is a good thing I keep a journal.
Will be catching up here in the next few days.

Lots to share.
With kindness always,
karen

Since January 8th, it seems I have not only been making excuses for my well-being or lack of, but I have come to the realization that if you don’t have physical health your life can really really become a hindrance. Did any of that make sense? Probably not, but it is my blog [...]

Living with Chronic HCV daily is frustrating. At least for me it is. Soon I will have another Liver needle biopsy. http://digestive.niddk.nih.gov/ddiseases/pubs/liverbiopsy/index.htm
Then once again it will be determined at what Stage/Grade I am at and how the Liver itself is dealing with the ravaging of this virus. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_for_End-Stage_Liver_Disease
Do you know someone with HCV? Have you [...]

WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET
Life at any time can become difficult.
Life at any time can become easy.
It all depends upon how you adjust yourself to life.
You cannot always control your circumstances.
But you can always think positive thoughts.
The realities of life result from many outside factors,
none of which you can control.
Your attitude, however, reflects [...]
