dailies: pain and sane

I grew up hearing my grandparents complain of rheumatoid arthritis. Even my father still suffers from this. I don’t know if it’s hereditary but at 37, I also suffer from arthritis. It actually started two years ago after my Bell’s Palsy bout. I would wake up in the middle of the night because I can’t feel my hands. I can’t describe how it is exactly. My hands are numb but at the same time I feel pain. That’s why you will always find Glucosamine with Chondroitin and Vitamin B complex in my house. These are the few supplements I take to prevent symptoms of arthritis. They say that Glucosamine and Chondroitin are naturally found in the cartilages of the body. That’s why they’re beneficial to people suffering from arthritis because they help relieve joint pains. But when pain is really extreme, especially in my lower back which happens when I’m really stressed out or when I’ve missed a good night’s sleep, I would go to my doctor and she would normally give a prescription for Prednisone. I hate taking this but that medication almost always takes away the pain. What I hate about taking Prednisone is my appetite is uncontrollable and I usually gain weight. Prednisone is a steroid. And when I stop the intake, it’s so hard to go back to your normal eating. It’s a vicious cycle really. You have no pain but you gain. Funny, right? But it’s true. But I’m still lucky that I won’t have to take other medicines like Enbrel. Yet. To tell you the truth, I hate taking synthetic drugs. I hope RA medication would take away the pain but would keep you sane. That would be my slogan or message for any RA medication.

happy birthday cards

I love receiving happy birthday cards from family and friends. It is probably one of the best things in the world. Especially now that there are sites that let you send free ecards to everyone you know across the globe. In fact, I got several ecards from my friends from abroad. Even if they are far away, they have managed to greet me. It only shows that you’re important to them. And I treasure them so much. Now you can send one, too. Through snail mail or through email. Either way, I’m pretty sure that you will be making someone’s day.

blog layout

I see a lot of great wordpress themes and I keep thinking if I should switch this blog to wordpress so I could have a better layout. What do you think? I have seen some which are so beautiful and yet they are free for anyone to grab or use. They look so elegant and clean as if everything is in order and nothing seems to be out of place. Perhaps I just need some cleaning up to do here so this one could look half as good as the available themes in wordpress. So don’t be surprised if one day this blog looks a bit different.

what’s new: leather lingerie

Every woman should have a crisp white shirt, black tailored pants, a pair of black high heeled pumps, little black dress, good fitting brassieres, leather hand or shoulder bag, and flirty lingerie. The more unique and flirty, the better.

And what could be more sensual than leather lingerie. More and more women are getting into it. It may not be mainstream garment but that’s what makes it more appealing to them. One could start with leather dresses or pants if one is intimidated with leather corsets and garter belts. Once you get used to it, I’m pretty sure you’ll be wanting more. Before you know it, you already have a whole set of garments–from leather bras, corsets, garter belts and bustiers. In the past, leather lingerie was often associated with bondage. But nowadays, ordinary women are taking notice and appreciating its look and feel. And who could blame them when their husbands and boyfriends see them in a whole different way. And in a positive way. It brings spice to a couple’s intimate moments.

Whatever your reason for purchasing leather lingerie, just make sure you’ll be ready some attention and admiration from your partners. I’m quite sure that once you begin wearing one, your partner will be all over you all the time. He can’t help but become obsessed.
