Do you suffer from neck pain? Do you know why?

When I first started getting sick and had all kinds of symptoms, my neck was in pain and my natural instinct was to hold the front of my neck with my left hand. The pressure I placed on it helped the pain. However, I found that massaging the top of my head helped relieve the [...]

Thankgiving, what is it about?

Thanksgiving day is a day to share your thoughts and love with everyone you know. A day to give thanks to our Lord for every miracle he has sent our way. Challenges in our lives only make us stronger. I believe we are given those challenges because we can handle them. Hopefully we learn from them and share our experience with others to help them when they are experiencing a challenge in their life.

I pray and hope that I have been able to share my own experience and thoughts in a way th…

You are so brave and I am truly sorry you had to experience and are experiencing such a difficult illness. I am always happy to hear when someone is a survivor. It takes a strong person with a positive attitude to make it in this world with a chronic illness. I believe we all cross paths for a reason. I am so happy you are now my friend and I look forward to reading your blog.

Happy Thankgiving.

Great to hear you are such an advocate. I am one myself :-) I had Hodgkin's lymphoma (it's a cancer of the lymph system) 10 weeks after my wedding. I had just turned 24. Hell doesn't begin to describe the year following it. I'm all better now and have 2 kids!

I'm also part of the chronic illness group. Mine is colitis which is a GI problem, I must take medication daily. Even so, I have "issues" because over time my body become resistant to the drug and I need to get different ones..

It's nice to meet you. And look forward to getting to know you.

Nice to hear from you, and I'll have to check back soon.

You must be very happy!!!!!!!!

At 7:25pm on October 30th, 2007, Andrew Boyd said…: Viv!

Howdy :) Glad to hear from you! Lots of questions :) Some of it is a bit personal so will respond to those bits via email.

Firstly, congratulations in advance for the twins!

My suggestions are:
- fibroviv.com is good for NaBloPoMo because it will really raise the profile of your blog
- total number of posts is available from the dashboard in WordPress (Blog stats in the right hand column of the main dashboard page). Do you want to show it in the blog itself or just access this number yourself?
- fibroviv.com looks good - do you have a photo or other picture that I can make into a banner for you?
- stats are interesting. There are lots of different ways to do it - some people use plugins in WordPress to great effect, others find Google Analytics better. I'll email some options. You can see who links to your site from within Technorati - seeing who is visiting can work through mybloglog widgets if the person is a mybloglog member (or BUMPzee, or some other community thing).

Hope this helps, will email about the other stuff as soon as I can.

Best regards, Andrew

Great to hear that

At 9:50pm on October 17th, 2007, Speedcat Hollydale said…: Viviana, long time no see! Are you going to continue here? I have not been up to date either :-)
I started blogging on 2 new sites. Community blogs that invited me. Fun but time consuming.
I have some (4) tags to do... if you are interested. That's not why I stopped though. Just wanted to send a smile your way. I was thinking of you.

See you later, Eric SPEEDY
