Why I fired my primary care doctor after 10+ years.
Sometimes I just can't believe the personal details I put online. To be honest, I think that's why I don't work on this blog as often as My Sacroiliac Joint Saga. It's super easy to provide people with factual information, with only a few personal tidbits thrown in. This blog, though? This is the one … Continue reading Why I fired my primary care doctor after 10+ years.

Well, if there's anything I can say I learned last week week (in addition to chiropractors are dangerous), it's this: How very, very grateful I am not to have a permanent nerve injury.

When the going gets tough, the tough start researching…
Hi everyone! Today I wanted to share with you this post from my friend Clare over at Jelly-Like Joints. Clare is a science-lover and "bookish crafter" --a book lover who also enjoys arts and crafts.

The thing I was most embarrassed to write about
Technically, I suppose it's bad form to brag about how much traffic you've been getting on your blog. However, I feel like it's a little different when a positive message comes with the bragging, so I wanted to share some of my updates with you all. I've come so far from where I was when … Continue reading The thing I was most embarrassed to write about
Too much of a good thing: when people don’t really *get* pain science
I wanted to share a really important post with you all this morning, from the author of Chronically Undiagnosed. She's a therapist who is dealing with chronic illness.
