Sex...with a side of diabetes

Even though I've been thinking about writing this post for a few weeks now, I can't keep the blush from creeping up my face. But I'm a twenty something, engaged woman, for crying out loud. There is a sexual element to my relationship. There is also a diabetes element to my sex. Here's how I handle my "equipment" in my relationship.

Are you taking the correct medication? One ChronicBabe almost died...

I was very nearly killed this week by a pharmacy error and I wanted to impress upon you all how careful you must be with your medications...and offer some resources on how to make sure your pills are correct.

How is a disaster like a chronic illness? Let me tell you...

Regular readers of the site know that ChronicBabe is not all about me. Yes, I created (and run) the site. Yes, I write personal stories to share my experiences as a ChronicBabe. But it's not a conventional blog, focusing on just me me me. It's more about sharing ideas to help YOU, dear readers, and building a collective of many voices.

But this recovery period I've been in since our house was nearly destroyed in THE STORM in August has just about had me whipped, and I haven't felt the kind of energy I usually do, the energy that feeds me helpful ideas to share with you all. I've been drained.

So tonight, I decided to write to you about how living through a trauma like this is SO MUCH like living with chronic illness, so much like coping with a diagnosis and dealing with the aftermath. I think that if I get some of this off my chest, I'll be clear and ready to write productively again for you. And I want that very, very badly right now. So here goes...my laundry list.*

*P.S. For evidence that I am not always so negative, please see the rest of this site. :)
