Motherhood – What I’ve learned so far

Today is my first born’s 3rd birthday, which means I am a mother for three years now. For three years, I am learning, unlearning and relearning the ropes of this motherhood gig. There are still moments when I don’t feel like a mother to them. Sometimes I look at them and with my waning enthusiasm or my losing interest in doing “fruitful” activities, I question my being a mother. During my early…

INTRODUCTIONS ARE IN ORDER

Hey there! I’m Angie and this is a blog for pretty much things I’m into and about my life and living with chronic auto-immune illnesses.

- so, what are these chronic immune issues you have then? -

I never thought you’d ask!

1. Hashimotos Disease :

- hashimotos disease is a thyroid disorder. It’s where your thyroid fluctuates between over and under active!

- the interesting thing about the thyroid is that it is the house for several of your hormones. The main hormones it hold is your body’s metabolism. It also plays a role in controlling your heart, muscle and digestive function, brain development, and bone management.

- my experience with the beginnings of my thyroid issues. In the beginning I would fall asleep at random moments, have extreme outbursts emotionally, and weigh gain.

- no cure, managed medically

2. Type 1 Diabetes :

- type 1 diabetes is very different than type 2 diabetes. T1D (Type 1 diabetes) affects your pancreas and insulin production. With T1D your pancreas produces little to no insulin on its own. T2D you either don’t produce enough insulin or you are insulin resistant.

- T1D is usually diagnosed in adolescent years as T2D is usually diagnosed in your adult years.

- I was diagnosed with T1D when I was 16 years old. As time went on and my pancreas basically gave up on producing insulin to where I had to become dependent on an insulin pump. I am basically a cyborg because I have a robotic pancreas that gives me insulin all day long to keep my blood sugars within a normal range.

- no cure, managed medically

3. Multiple Sclerosis :

- multiple sclerosis is where your immune system decides the nerves on your brain are attacking and therefore your immune system attacks the nerves on your brain breaking down the myelin coating protecting the nerves causing so many shitty symptoms.

- because the immune system is attacking the myelin, it affects your entire body because the nerve damage disrupts the communication between your brain and your body.

- there are several different levels of disability when it comes to MS (multiple sclerosis):

> CIS : Clinically Isolated Syndrome

The first episode of MS caused by inflammation and damage to the myelin. CIS doesn’t meet the requirements for an MS diagnosis

> RRMS : Relapsing-Remitting MS

It generally follows a predictable pattern where symptoms worsen and then improve. You have relapsing periods of “flare ups” and then you have a period of remission (no symptoms). Remission can last days to decade depending on MS drug management

> SPMS : Secondary Progressive MS

SPMS is the progression of RRMS. It is much more aggressive. They may have small lapses of remission but the disease and damage is noticeable and continues on worsen

> PPMS : Primary Progressive MS

A very uncommon diagnoses of MS. It affects around 10% - 15% of people after the diagnosis of SPMS. It is a slow and steady progression of MS with no remission periods.

- my experience with MS caused issues with my vision first. My left eye was blurry and lights were really bright. It was called optic neuritis due to MS. As it progressed I had trouble walking and would have to use a cam for balance reasons due to falling.

-no cure, managed medically

Oof. That’s a lot of bullshit, huh?

Luck for me I can manage my auto-immune issues with medications, physical therapy, medical devices, and chemotherapy.

If you have any questions about any of my issues, feel free to reach out!

If you’re just like me, I would love to connect!

Now that you know more about me, I would love to know more about you! Especially if you made it this far in this long ass post!

Motherhood in a nutshell

My babies and I Oct. 2023 It’s late, and it grows later as I bounce my 1 year old to sleep in her bouncer. My arm draped over the arm of the couch to gently push her chair up and down. We have all been very sick, a nasty cold. Everyone is tired, but feels too shitty to sleep. But as she finally closes her eyes, a sigh of relief escapes my mouth. I’ll bounce her a few more minutes, let her sit…

Advice for Future Mums

Recently, I was scrolling through Pinterest and came across some pins surrounding “future mom goals.” Now this is Pinterest, so it was mostly just pictures of really beautiful mums in matching outfits with their kids. However, I was also inspired by current mums sharing their insights with all of the future mothers out there. Sometimes advice for future moms can be so trite, incomplete, or just…

You will never know how it feels, unless you’ve been through it.

Parenting is always hardwork and heartwork. 🌸

Spent the majority of my maternity leave at home but we did make it to the beach for one day for a couple hours. And, while it wasn't alot of time, it was *just* enough. More on the blog. xo, Setarra

Dead Dad or God?

It's been a handful of years and Ellie has joined the YJL

The YJL has the misunderstanding that her dad is dead

Which you know not exactly wrong but why do they think this?

Cuz Ellie and Danny are both little gremlin shits that found out they could speak to each other and hear each other no matter the distance or dimension,

So like I said little shits TM that they are decides to make it look like a prayer while speaking

So every time she says

"Oh yea let me just go tell my dad"

and then proceeds to put her hands together very obviously in a prayer.

This only somewhat stops when the heroes are in a rather tight spot and need some help, and Ellie goes "let me call my dad" in her usual prayer form and then the air beside her gets ripped open and this twink of a man who barely looks any older than her pops out like

" Yo I'm here to help!"

Now they think Ellie is a demi-human and Danny some sort of God.

" Oops? "

Just an Idea

[comradekatara]

wake up sheeple !! the notion that katara is the overbearing, responsible member of the group was a lie peddled by Big Toph to distract from the fact that the actual overbearing, responsible member of the group (sokka) also happens to be her favorite.
