Thanks for coming!

Thank you for visiting my blog. I am so happy you are here! I created this blog back in 2011 on tumblr because I felt there was a need for someone to talk about how chronic illness affects not just our bodies, but our souls as well. Always remember, this is a safe space for you to vent, scream, and be yourself. :)

<3 Steph

In 1992 the national guard was mobilized for the LA riots. It was outrage for #rodneyking. It’s 2020 and now we have #georgefloyd. And he didn’t survive. It’s been 28 years. HOW IS THIS STILL HAPPENING??? . #blacklivesmatter 💔#blackouttuesday
I’m so mad at #RA right now. Well, not only right now. For a while I’ve been mad at it. . Most people who know me know I really enjoy cooking as a hobby. When quarantine started, I even started a little blog on Instagram all about it with funny food-related memes.🍋 . But lately I haven’t been cooking much and the little bit of cooking I have done has been simple, not-Instagram worthy meals.😅 . My hips and knees and feet have been killing me to stand for any length of time & my Vectra score hasn’t dropped from 46 (high disease activity) since December 2018 (right after I gave birth). Walking hurts, sitting hurts. My joints are swollen and it’s hard to sleep let along get comfortable. . So my doctor decided it’s time to start my 8th biologic.💉 Well, technically we’re going back to #4. So, for now, I’ll have to find a new hobby that I can do without sitting for too long or standing and isn’t hard on my hands. . Any suggestions?? 🥴 . . #quarantine #vectrascore #rheumatoidarthritis #arthritis #chronicpain #chronicillness #chronicmom #invisibleillness #ra #jra #ja #juvenilearthritis #autoimmunedisease #spoonie #gastroparesis #rheum #RA
Thanks @littlegreenmoppet !! Santi loves his “new-to-us” toy! . This is the best consignment store in Miami. I love #supportingsmallbusinesses & the environment by shopping this way. . My first semester in college, I was in a club called Green Architecture and since then I’ve tried my best to be a part of the solution to a healthier earth and reduce waste. . There’s no easier way than kids products! They grow out of toys, clothes, shoes, & every day items so quickly that it’s easy to breathe new life in an item discarded by an older child! . I love @littlegreenmoppet for doing their part while simultaneously keeping top quality in mind! I also love supporting local entrepreneurs! 💚♻️ . . . #momlifeisthebestlife #mysonshine #sustainability #kids #toddlersofinstagram
3•15•20 The day before Quarantine began.🏝 . As sick as I am of this quarantine, I’m going to keep going so nothing happens to me. . Before Santi was born, I was the queen of YOLO.😂 . But now that I’m a mother, I realize this temporary inconvenience is vital to the continuation of Santi, Andres, & I’s journey to make memories. . Santi needs his mama safe & let’s face it, Andres wouldn’t survive without me. 😂 Guy can only boil pasta & make a ham & cheese sandwich 🥪 I love them both so as much as I want to be OUT, I will stay home. 🏡 . . . #quarantine #vectrascore #rheumatoidarthritis #arthritis #chronicpain #chronicillness #chronicmom #invisibleillness #ra #jra #ja #juvenilearthritis #autoimmunedisease #spoonie #gastroparesis #rheum #RA #arthritisawareness #arthritisawarenessmonth #findyouryes #arthritisfoundation #jra #rheumatoidarthritisawareness #stayhome
While the rest of the world restarts life amid this global pandemic, 54 million Americans, including 300,000 children like me are preparing to continue their ​isolation in order to stay safe.😷 . Fortunately, the Arthritis Foundation has been working hard to help EXTROVERTS 😅 like me combat the loneliness and isolation of being categorized High Risk for serious complications from COVID-19 by providing life-changing information and resources, access to optimal care, and community connections. . It’s more important now than ever for people like us to be aware of the necessary precautions and resources available to stay healthy and safe.💪 . You can find up-to-date, trustworthy information and resources from the Arthritis Foundation in my Bio👆👆👆 . The Live Yes! Arthritis Network, created by the Arthritis Foundation, makes connections both in person and online to empower people to live their best life.✌️😊 . TONIGHT✨6-7pm EST @arthritis_sfl is hosting a ZOOM meeting with Holy Cross Orthopedics to answer any surgical & non-surgical questions! email bstuddard@arthritis.org for the LINK!⛓ . Who’s coming on ZOOM with me?? 😃 . . . #vectrascore #rheumatoidarthritis #arthritis #chronicpain #chronicillness #chronicmom #invisibleillness #ra #jra #ja #juvenilearthritis #autoimmunedisease #spoonie #gastroparesis #rheum #RA #arthritisawareness #arthritisawarenessmonth #findyouryes #arthritisfoundation #jra #rheumatoidarthritisawareness
Am I smiling or frowning? After 50 days in quarantine I’m really feeling the effects of isolation now. .
