"I'm Thankful" song says it all for me

I'm back from the second root canal in two weeks.  I'm still sleeping a lot and am grateful that I can take the time I need for recovery.

About the song; it says a lot for me, anyway... (If this video is skipping on your computer, or you can't see it in the email of this post, here's the direct link to it:  The Gratitude Song.)



From The Worldwide Gratitude Project , a wonderful project to help us express our gratitude. I'll admit that I have a hard time seeing the good things in my life right now. Any help I can get is much appreciated!  I hope you find something there to help you express your gratiude.

    So hard to remember to be thankful in the midst of pain. I try to focus on others (ourshelteringtree.blogspot.com)but it's harder than it looks on the outside. Yet here your are with so many pain causing cronic illnesses and you are giving thanks. Many blessings on you, Sherril.

    Thank you, Pamela. It looks like you are doing great work helping others in spite of your pain, which I know is at least as hard to deal with as physical pain. Blessings to you, too.

    Hey Sherril,
    It's been a while since I stopped by, here or anywhere else for that matter. Dealing with the blues....Thanks for posting this song, great song! It is hard sometimes to find things to be thankful for, but when you really get down to it, we are still here! I'm thankful for God and my family, so very thankful for the Bean who I get the pleasure of saying good morning to each and every day. That's enough for me.
    I hope by now your recovered from the dreaded root canals, uck. I get to have all of mine pulled for dentures courtesy of my friend prednisone. ha!
    Have a wonderful day kiddo
    Michelle

    Michelle, Thanks for stopping by, and for the nice comment. I have recovered from the root canals, but then I had to go to a funeral in another state and now it's the holidays... You know how it goes. Hope you come out of the blues soon!

Marisol Maldonado "comes out" of the autoimmune closet with husband Rob Thomas' hit song & video "Her Diamonds" - check it out; it's way cool

Image
Watch the music video Rob Thomas - New Music - More Music Videos I think Marisol Maldonado has taken a very brave step, career-wise, to come out like this about her autoimmune disease. Being a model is a very physical profession and as those of us with ICI know, coming out at work, any kind of work, is a big deal. I'd like to send her a really big thank you for raising awareness of autoimmune disease in general. I wonder what the song/video title means? Her Diamonds. And she says ooh I can't take no more Her tears like diamonds on the floor And her diamonds bring me down 'Cause I can't help her now Losing her sparkle? Here's what Rob Thomas says about it: The album’s first single, the kaleidoscopic “Her Diamonds,” is the most personal song Thomas has yet committed to disc. Rob’s wife Marisol is courageously battling an autoimmune disease, and “Her Diamonds” was written “about a couple dealing with that on a day-to-day basis,” explains Thomas. “There’s an incre...

Nerve Damage on the Vaginal Cuff After Total Hysterectomy

 Here's the link to the actual article describing my experience:  https://medium.com/@SherrilLynn/nerve-damage-to-the-vaginal-cuff-after-total-hysterectomy-6d9a2e576f15 .     This has happened to me and I can find virtually NOTHING written about it, except the pain filled pleas of other women it has happened to, looking for answers as to why this has happened to them and what they can do about it.  I'm going to start a place for other women who have and are experiencing Nerve Damage to the Vaginal Cuff after a total hysterectomy (as far as I can tell there's no cure and nothing to do about it but pain management) to publish their stories here on the ICIE blog.  A collection of experiences of women who have Nerve Damage to the Vaginal Cuff (I'm going to shorten it to NDVC since no one in the medical field has deigned to give a name to this diagnosis), after a total hysterectomy.  I'm pretty sure there are quite a few of us out there but no one has co...

Update: Intro, and Book Review Part A, Fibromyalgia Mystery Still Unsolved, or The Debunking of the Fibromyalgia Relief Centers and Paul Whitcomb, DC

This post was originally published on 4/5/08. I was just responding to recent a comment to it and decided to check its links. I saw that there is at least one important dead link, so I'm updating the post and re-publishing it. The Whitcomb series have been ever popular on my blog (check the sidebar for titles and links to all of them). I was just checking the stats for this particular post on statcounter.com, and I see that someone has visited it 212 times. That seems a little odd to me. Anyone have any ideas for me on that? Anyway, on with the update. Any changes I've made are in green italics. "Silence is fraud's best friend. Word of mouth is fraud's worst enemy. Pass the word!" Fraud Aid Let me say this first and foremost: There is no cure for Fibromyalgia. If there were a cure for Fibromyalgia I would know about it. There. Is. No. Cure. Why, you might ask, am I doing this? I'm really tired of Dr. Whitcomb's holdings (book, website) comin...
