I hope everyone is doing well! So important to be mindful of your mental health. Would love to chat with anyone out there!

I’m really looking forward to the May 7th virtual screening of Keys Bags Names Words that My Care Friends is doing. I found it on the events page of this site.

Easter was a challenge, to say the least. My mom was so out of sorts and that really triggered me. I did the best I could stay calm and patient, but it really wasn’t easy. Grateful to friends and family who were there to help!

I just heard that Roberta Flack was diagnosed in 2022. Wow, I didn’t know that. She’s one of a number of celebrities known to have ALS. Eric Dane from Grey’s Anatomy, too. That said, there are so many non-celebrities to have been diagnosed and suffered this awful disease. Check out allgoodbirdsfly12 to learn more about ALS.

As a caregiver, I’ve seen a number of caregiver over the years with an autoimmune disease and heard their stories about the challenges of getting a diagnosis. For all caregivers out there, don’t ignore your own symptoms. Keep pushing through until a clinician listens, understands and genuinely moves forward to help.
