The Booster: What to expect for side effects after the third shot COVID-19 vaccine, Moderna.
I am high risk for serious complications from a COVID infection so I was eligible for “The Booster”. Having Googled extensively prior to the shot, and not getting many hits, I wanted to share my experience. I have a myriad of auto immune diseases and I did have a rough go of things after both […]

In case you’ve been Googling COVID-19 VACCINE SIDE EFFECTS: Yes, the vaccine is going to cause your immune related issues to flare (psoriasis, IC, fibromyalgia, neuropathy, etc.)

I am a full-time parent who does not “work”. I had spent years chasing my education before graduating with a sexy […]

Paranoid Behaviors That Predict The Future?
I’m feeling like that little girl from the movie “Signs”, the one who left the glasses of water everywhere that later became instrumental in the annihilation of creepy aliens. Except it’s packets of hand wipes and my obsessive penchant for hand cleanliness that will save my family from getting covid-19. For 15 years, I have […]

Savage Potty Training
I never imagined that I would be writing a potty training success story that involved carnivorous plants! I have offered literally everything to my child if only we could say goodbye to diapers. And this is a walking, talking, knows-how-to-use-a-tablet-better-than-me little person. It was well past time. In a family of thee autistic kids, I […]
