Unmasking Bell’s Palsy: When You Find More than Hope
Unmasking Bell’s Palsy: When Find More than Hope I remember back in my high school art class, one of my classmates walked into the room and instantly I noticed that he had an eyepatch on.

Fibromyalgia, The Shadow of Pain
One of the first things you learn about Fibromyalgia is that there is no cure for it. It’s a lifelong battle against aches and pains, but it’s not without its treatments. The symptoms can be managed – it’s just a matter of how. And that in and of itself is tricky, because what most don’t […]
