Managing my Meralgia Paresthetica (Supplements, Stretches and Physical Therapy)
I woke up this morning with a sigh of relief, with a bit of surprise. My Meralgia Paresthetica (MP) isn’t as flared up as it used to be. I can feel my left thigh again! Hmm, Might be a combination of all the stretches, supplements, and physical therapy I’ve been doing lately. I’m writing this post, because as someone with MP, there isn’t much content I’ve scoured from the internet that can help bring comfort and relief to our symptoms, even if a cure is…

Being Bipolar: Managing Mania
Extreme hypomania hit hard last night and I wasn’t able to get sleep despite the prescribed meds my psych gave me. Actually, I took it later than I should because I wanted to try so hard not to be dependent on meds. Alas, it was 3am in the morning and my mind was wild af.

Manzanilla Oil: Uses, Benefits, and my Personal Experience
Eons and eons of years ago, I remember having the worse stomachache of my life when I was 5, and I remember my Lola putting me comfortably to sleep by massaging Manzanilla Oil on my belly. The relaxing scent of Chamomile the warmth of the oil brings so many good memories.

How to compute your calories for weight loss
Now, I am not advocating extreme diets, nor am I currently practising weight loss. But there is much misinformation on the world wide web on losing weight that makes me worry for you guys.
