Two in one day!

So I thought I had finished my blogging for the day, but I was wrong. I need to take a moment to complain... Anyone who has a chronic illness might be able to relate to this. Or anyone who just finds that life is difficult sometimes... I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease in 2007. I displayed symptoms LONG before that, and as a child I would often sit in the bathroom floor with my head against the cold marble of the bathtub after every meal just waiting for the nausea to pass. Since my diagnosis and treatment life has been different. Sometimes it's easier, sometimes it's not. But I can never really forget that I'm living with a disease because most of my life is dictated by my symptoms. I've said this in other blog posts, but in case anyone new is reading: I have fistulizing Crohn's. I have had 2 fistulectomies to date. I am currently being treated with Cimzia.

There was an incident...

Yesterday was shot day. Three pens, as expected, no big deal. Except one of my pens misfired. The needle didn't even touch the skin.

Still, injecting is anxiety inducing enough without equipment failure. The other problem: I noticed two lumps in my right arm pit on Thursday morning. Around 9 AM it was the size of a ping pong ball. I sat in Sus' house all day while she cleaned, unable to help her because the building pain was just too much and movement would only make it worse.

Clairol Hair Food and ELF Skincare

I pocked these up at Target because I had some Cartwheel coupons. After a few weeks of use I can say the shampoo is fantastic. It leaves your hair clean without weighing it down. Unfortunately the conditioner isn't heavy enough for damaged or color treated hair so I usually have to use a leave in conditioner spray after. The shampoo and conditioner together do work well to clarify if used intermittently between other shampoos. They also smell fantastic and I do use them whenever my hair feels heavy from product buildup.  The ELF skincare is great for the price point. I'm not sure if it's scented but if it is the smell isn't strong. I loved the serum and used it up quickly. The eye cream and face cream work well but it wasn't hydrating enough for me. It might work better for someone with combination or oily skin.  The ELF beauty blender is excellent. I've used it many times and I love it. It works incredibly well and is much cheaper than the n...
