My Personal Health Tip


This is a new one for me too, I guess I'm just full of different posts today lol....

The reason why I am posting a personal tip for the day is I have a few brain disorders. I am ADHD, Bipolar type 2, I think I have a touch of OCD as well. Recently though, well it started a couple years ago I started having severe pain in my shoulders, I also have tendinitis in my feet, my ankles hurt, my knees hurt, my lower back hurts and my fingers even hurt. On top of all that I am always severely tired, I feel ran down and feel like I haven't slept.

When I lived in Ohio I was tested for a few things; Lupus & Sleep Apnea, both came back fine. Then I was tested for narcolepsy (which I knew I didn't have because I didn't just fall asleep out of nowhere). The pain and sleep issues got worse since I have been here in Virginia. I started getting cortisone shots in my shoulders. My last visit with my ortho dr. he ran blood and my RA levels were high so he sent me to a specialist who just looks for autoimmune disorders. I don't know what he has found yet, if anything but I will not give up.

Some days I feel like it's all in my head but I know it's not. Some days I can work through it all and others not so much. My point to this post is if you have issues and you think you need help in any form advocate for yourself, you are the only one that can. Start doing research (I know sometimes that is bad it may say you have cancer) try not to go overboard when you are researching. What I did was lookup vitamins and supplements for joint and muscle pains. Foods to eat to help with inflammation, exercises to do with joint and muscle pain. Don't just type in your symptoms because then you will worry about so many things. Keep it simple BUT advocate for yourself!!!

If you do have any issues and you want some help on tips, things I can post for you or just talk to you on messenger don't be afraid to comment on this post or send me a message!

Apple Ginger Fizz for Fall

  The kids deserve a special drink for the fall besides apple cider. This is a great fall mocktail with a beautiful flavor combination. Not just for the kiddos. This makes 1 drink What  you'll need: 3 oz still apple cider 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice 6 mint leaves 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar Pinch powdered cinnamon 3 oz ginger ale Create: Place apple cider, lime juice, cinnamon, apple cider vinegar and a few ice cubes into a cocktail shaker. If you don't have a shaker, anything with a tight lid will work, such as a mason jar or drink bottle. Clap the mint together in your hands to release the scent, and add to the shaker. Shake for about 20-30 seconds until ingredients are combined. Pour into an ice filled glass and top with ginger ale. Stir gently, garnish with mint, dried citrus or a cinnamon stick, and serve.
