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!

DIY Cheesecloth Ghosts

I absolutely love these! I love decorating for Halloween, I have to say it is my favorite holiday. I don't think you can have enough decorations up! So when I found this DIY project I just had to share!   DIY Cheesecloth Ghosts     You can find styrofoam mannequin heads at wig shots. They normally can stand on their necks but for this project you need to suspend them to let the cloth flow freely. Materials: Cheesecloth Styrofoam mannequin heads Sponge brush Watered-down glue or fabric stiffener Screw eyes Monofilament Removable adhesive hooks (like command brand or painters tape).     Steps: Apply a layer of cheesecloth to the head, then generously brush over head and face with glue. Use hands to smooth the cloth into the facial features. Don't brush down the neck, stop at chin level so the fabric is loose below that.
