High Heels

-
I'm doing the unthinkable: I'm going to wear high heels. You might call me mad- even I'm calling myself mad! But I'm doing it anyway.

Not without reason of course. I have a special event coming up in the next months. Everything is all set: I've got a dress, a date and all the trimmings. And even some shoes of the high heeled variety. Granted, their not very tall, but it's still a challenge. I made sure they had support and a thicker heel for stability.

I've been wearing them at home whenever I can. I figure I might as well gradually get used to them. Hopefully, it will all go to plan and I won't be in agony for the night. Hoping. Anyway, practice makes perfect.

Speaking of practice, I should probably start practicing dancing in my shoes. After all, I really don't want to break my ankle.

    Every once in a while you need to break out the high heels, (not including my 1 inch boots) I only own one pair. They are not a sensible as yours sound, they are about 4 inches, and are stilettos. I have only actually worn them once but plan to wear them to prom, I am actually in love with them. Sometimes it is worth the pain!

      I agree! I'm hoping by wearing them around the house, I can get used to them so I can wear them more often!
      I bet they'll look lovely though! Are they strappy, since its in the spring/summer months?

    Good luck at the dance! I hope the shoes don't hurt you too much.

    And unfortunately, I can no longer wear even a 1 inch heel. It's flats for this girl!

      That's what I've been doing! I almost exclusively wear flats: they're such cute and comfortable alternatives.

      Hopefully all the practice will help for a mostly pain free night! And if not, the shoes are definitely coming off! :)

Balancing Friendships and Psoriatic Arthritis

   Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) affects every part of your life, even in subtle ways – including your friendships. After living with PsA since childhood, I assumed I knew everything there was to know about navigating friendships with arthritis. But after graduating from college and entering “the real world,” I was in for a huge shock. As it turns out, maintaining adult friendships is much more work than I anticipated.

My Arthritis Depression

-
In this post, I talk about a very hard time after I was diagnosed with arthritis. I share this because I think it's important for others to know that this is a hard disease. For the longest time I felt weak and that I was the only one weak enough to feel this way. But I know now that that is far from the truth: Many people feel this way and it's because they are strong. I know I'm not the first when I say 'I don't want to be alone in this disease.' I don't think anyone has ever said, 'I want to fight this alone,' and actually meant it. It's an ongoing thing that never seems to end, with surprises at every corner. I couldn't go on if it weren't for the wonderful people behind me. I know that for a fact because there was a point when I had almost no one. I did it almost alone for a long time. I had my mum, and she had me. Even then, sometimes there was a wall of fatigue between us. I was newly diagnosed and was taking methotrexate. It ...
