Sharing Sunday Link Up #32

Happy Sunday!

Welcome to Sharing Sunday!!!

I hope you are enjoying the last weeks of summer as pain free as possible.  We here at the Zippy have taken most of the last week off and spent a large portion of it with friends and family in our hometown.  We hope to continue to enjoy our “mini vacation” before we return in September with personal updates, new info, ideas and stories.  In the meantime, check out the posts below.

We need your help!!!

Many of you have offered your story, or to share a life event but have been unable to submit them due to complications.  If you can do it, NOW is the time.  We want to hear from Y.O.U.!!!

Sharing Sunday Link Up #32

“Sharing Sunday” Link-up is available EVERY Sunday for blogs featuring articles that will help those with a chronic illness.

This linkup is not only for the chronically ill, but for everyone that has a personal story that offers help (allergen-free recipes and ideas), adaptation ideas, testimonials or anything that would be helpful or encouraging to others, (even sharing a day in your life).

The idea of the “Sharing Sunday” link-up is to spread the word about our illnesses, adaptations, short-cuts, tools, articles, stories, recipes, income earning ideas, etc… and to support each other during this sometimes, lonely journey.

Bloggers struggling with pain and challenges can visit other sites, while non-bloggers can find others like them and follow along in addition to finding recipes, tips and adaptations that may help.

I LOVE fun, crafty, anything goes linkups, but the “Sharing Sunday” Link-up is not one of those.  If you want to share something fun and crafty check out our Sharing Saturday Link Up at Treasured Tidbits.

We will have a few guidelines to keep the links useful and uplifting to our readers.

Bloggers before linking up please follow our guidelines found here.

Follow us on Pinterest, Twitter, Facebook and sign up to receive emails.

We will not share your email address or spam you with junk, promise!  We will share each post in the email and share additional links, updates and fun stuff on Facebook.

A 26 Year Old Spoonie Shares Her Story (Part 2)

To view the beginning of this Spoonie story click here.

20 years of failed allergy injections are also now behind me; new allergies were diagnosed, but I was able to stop my injections.

I actually feel better OFF the injections than I did when I had them.

Go figure! Despite increased medical costs in this state, moving to Florida was the best decision I have ever made.

As far as my diagnoses go, I have quite a few.

Becca’s Story- A 19 Year Old In an 80 Year Old Body

Becca’s Story-A 19 Year Old In an 80 Year Old Body

Hi!  I am Rebecca V.

I am 19 years old but I feel like I have an 80 year old body. 

I have been diagnosed with HEDS and Fibromyalgia.

My fibromyalgia diagnosis came after the EDS diagnosis.

What does this mean?

It means that my collagen is faulty and my joints are constantly popping, slipping, sliding, and dislocating.   It means that if I do a task for too long (like knitting) my shoulders, arms, and hands will not work properly and hurt for days.  Sounds like fun right???   My body literally falls apart with everyday activities.
