I had my second infusion of remicaid today and all went well.  I was pretty worried, especially since I had such a bad reaction last time.  Feeling a lot better and I hope that trend continues.  It is a bright, sunny day today.  Any day above ground is a good day if you ask me.  The nurses are awesome and really helpful.  I have to go back in six weeks for treatment number three, then I will be on a regular eight week schedule.  I am pretty tired and I think I will get some sleep.  Thanks for reading and I hope you won't be too shy.  Give me a +1 or leave a comment!

Good morning, good afternoon, or good evening to you. Thank you for stopping by! I'm really not even sure where to begin I'm so overwhelmed with the last couple days events.  Let me just begin by saying my doctor really got on my nerves today. She's the first doctor I'm ever going to fire because of her bedside manner and her lack of compassion. Although I should name names, I'm not going to in this situation. I live in West Virginia and I have severe stage 4 bed sores. None of the nursing homes in West Virginia want to accept me because of my wounds. So in their ultimate wisdom, the hospital staff seems to think it's best for me to go to Piketon Ohio which is several hours away from my home. I would not see my family until I got out of there and I could be there for over a month. They're justification is that I have antibiotic IV but I have to take and finish a course of. They didn't like it when I reminded them the last time I was discharged from the h...

I am really glad this second infusion of Remicaid went well.  I was concerned what might happen.  If you take a look at the known side effects it will scare the hell out of you.  Heart Failure was my primary concern.  My doctor told me to avoid public places as something as simple as the common cold could be fatal if I contract it.  Remicaid basically deletes my immune system.  In fact, I am my own worst enemy.  My immune system is attacking my joints and organs.  My biggest fear is that my brain will be effected.  If the Remicaid doesn't kill me first. I must say, living with this gives you an entirely different perspective on your surroundings and life in general.  You come to know what is important and who actually gives a damn about you.  I must admit, I feel better in a lot of ways.  I don't have the vocabulary to put the feelings that I have about it into writing.  It just makes you feel weird.  Perception is...

Greetings...are you reading this?  It has been a long time.  So much has happened in my life I'm not sure where to begin this.  Just warning you...my mind jumps around.  I would like to start by saying I have missed streaming.  Those of you who know me from Twitch... I was very into my stream.  At the time I was also very into #XboxOne.  I had been diagnosed with a nasty illness called Ankylosing Spondylitis.  Unable to work, and unable to move around much playing video games and streaming on Twitch was my life.  A lot has happened since then. My mother passed away at the young age of 66.  She died in her sleep and I discovered her corpse nearly 12 hours after her death.  July 23rd will mark a year since I found her, eternally asleep.  That doesn't seem possible. She was born and raised a coal miner's daughter in the hills of Southern West Virginia.  Not sure how much you know about WV.  Long story short; ...
