Happy Friday Sjogies! 🙌🏼 Several of you ha Happy Friday Sjogies! 🙌🏼 

Several of you have asked if I’ve gotten the Covid-19 vaccine?🤔 

I have not! To be honest, I’m afraid to get it and I’m also afraid of not getting it. I think there’s not enough data out there for people with autoimmunes - so I think I’ll wait! 

I’ve gotten the flu shot 2-3 times in my my life and it’s knocked me on my a$$ every time! So, yes, I’m scared. 

I try to stay away from people as much as possible. I wear my N95 when I’m out and about and use hand sanitizer religiously. 

Have you gotten it? 
How did it go?

2021 already started crazy! But I woke up feeli 2021 already started crazy! 

But I woke  up feeling like a million bucks - FINALLY! 😊 

It took me hot minute to recover from this last flare. I slept A LOT, ate CLEAN and took my MEDS, as prescribed! 
I don’t always!!🤦🏻‍♀️ 

It’s so easy to revert back to old habits that you know will hurt you in the long run... I’m gonna do my best to stay on track. 

If I’m being honest, this last flare has been the worst - EVER! And it lasted a long time... it really scared me! I never want to feel that way again... eventually I’ll have another flare, I know! 

The hardest thing for me to deal with is the BRAIN FOG - especially at work!! 

This year I plan on livin’ my best life and do everything I can to heal my MIND, BODY and SOUL! 
Most importantly try to avoid another flare! 

🚫 No Sugar 🍭 
🚫 No Junk Food 🍰 
🚫 No Processed Foods 🍟 
🚫 Dairy 🥛 🧀 
🚫 No Alcohol 🍷 

✅ Meds 💊 
✅ Sleep / Rest 😴 
✅ Fresh Air/Sun 🏞 🌞 
✅ Keep Moving 🚶🏻‍♀️🚴🏻‍♀️ 🥾 
✅ Read a few books 📚 
✅ Photo Walks 
✅ Try Yoga 🧘🏻‍♀️ 

A special thanks to all my followers for always being there for each other and encouraging each other to keep moving forward and never give up! 

Here’s to 2021!! 🥂

I passed the hardest moments home, alone with my w I passed the hardest moments home, alone with my wonderful hubby, while everyone believed I was fine. 

How many of us isolate ourselves like wounded animals when we are in flare, pain or out of spoons? 

Update: I’m still recovering from this flare... it knocked me on my a$$ - HARD! And has been the worse one yet! I’ve slept for 4 days straight... only getting up to eat, take my meds and go peeps. 

I still have a lot of inflammation but am no longer in pain, just tired and sore! My arms are heavy and my legs feel like jelly when I walk. To quote a friend, my face looks like a marshmallow - soft and pudgy. 

I am so thankful for  my husband who takes such great care of me on my “down” days. Life with Sjogren’s would be so much harder without him. 

I am also thankful for this community. A big thank you and gentle hugs to everyone who has reached out to check on me. I appreciate all your texts, vm’s and videos! 

Hoping to be fully recovered by New Years so I can bring in the year feeling STRONG, asleep but strong!

Much love! ❤️

I must have been naughty this year cause all I got I must have been naughty this year cause all I got for Christmas was “sausage” fingers! Look how deformed my fingers are from all the inflammation! 

Having a major flare; body aches, arms feel like cinder blocks, debilitating fatigue and the brain fog is kicking in. 

I have whole body inflammation... it’s like I put on 20lbs overnight! 

Got winded from walking to the fridge for a glass of water.

🛑 ✋🏼 Stop! No hugs please... they hurt so much! 

And then the depression kicks in!! ...need I say more!? Ugh! 

What can you do....!? ...ride it out! 

What helps you during a flare and what do you do to reduce inflammation?

Out and about trying to find different color vests Out and about trying to find different color vests cause my back been aching due to the temperature cooling down.... vests keep my core warm and pain free! 

So I went to the Columbia Outlet at The Pike... they were closed but at least I got this cool pic of me sitting in a giant chair... Citadel bound! 
Any day outside is a good day. 

Are your aches and pains temperature related? What helps you stay warm?
