Hello & Welcome

I’m Nell and that handsome man is my husband of 21 years! Yep! And, we’ve actually been together for 25 years – a quarter of a century, wow. We have three great boys – all teens, one an adult teen – and live in Texas. I write about my life, my heart, my health, and my family – welcome to my online journal.

Letters from Me

We legit have too much fun together. 🥹😂❤️ I’m lucky.
A lazy and cozy day. Going to bed grateful but l A lazy and cozy day. 

Going to bed grateful but loaded with pain from Lyme (herxing) so had to take ibuprofen which I rarely do but have had two recent days where it was so bad I needed it just to take the edge off. 

I’m super thankful for my cozy laid back life as it helps when I’m hurting so badly.
I've always said that I am not special, I don't ha I've always said that I am not special, I don't have the answer to fighting on through years and years of physical hardship. 

Honestly, I think most of us feel this way. That we aren't special, we aren't super heroes in our own lives, we just keep fighting on because we have no other choice. While yes, there are times when I'm like, "wow, how do I do this day in and day out" most of the time I think "Everyone has hardships and pain, I'm not special in how I handle it". 

We are strong in the pain and symptoms we have to put up with, but it's because we legit have no other choice. 

Hugs to each of you.
I canceled my neurologist appointment for this com I canceled my neurologist appointment for this coming week and tentatively rescheduled it for January. Why? 

I'm tired of being on this trial-and-error preventative meds dance I've been on for several months.

I honest to God need a break. I'm also in the process of deciding if I'll change neurologists or try out @neurahealth instead. 

I have enough acute meds to get through the month, so I'm going to just take December to research preventative options, research my doctor options, and pray about trying Neura Health. 

I'm frustrated by the process and, instead of just giving up, I think a small break will help my mental health and will give me the time I need to figure things out. 

I feel like I may need more than one prevention method. 

I have questions for you...

1. If you've tried Neura Health, what was your experience like? Was it superior to working with a neurologist?

2. Are you on more than one preventative and if you are did that help you more than simply one med for prevention?

Big decisions coming up. 

Praying that God guides me.
