Create an emergency preparedness plan.
I have been thinking about creating an emergency plan. There is one item that every American household should have.
An emergency weather radio can change cell phones and other devices. Weather radios are affordable.
The second item is a generator if you can afford one.
The third item is a first aid kit.
I have RA (Rheumatoid Arthritis) in all my joints. The one thing that can stop me in my tracks is fatigue. It can be very difficult to manage this symptom. Click on the link to continue reading. Please Like and Share too. Thank you.

What does RA Fatigue do?
Some days, I can easily get tired quickly throughout the day. People tell me everyone gets tired, which is true. RA Fatigue is different. It is like dealing with a dying device battery after using it for a few hours it needs to be plugged in.
I wake up in the morning with a lot of energy and then by the afternoon, my energy is draining away like a dead battery. Then I’m exhausted. There are times that I pushed through the fatigue to get things done before I take a nap.
Treatment for RA Fatigue
The best way to deal with RA Fatigue is to have the RA under control by medicine. That’s what I have learned. Taking a nap, when I need it. If there are tasks that must get done I pushed through the fatigue, and then rest afterward.
Other people with Rheumatoid Arthritis have their strategies for dealing with fatigue. For me taking a nap helps.
If you are battling RA Fatigue and nothing is helping you to manage your symptom, please talk to your rheumatologist.

What would you change about modern society?
I would make accommodations available to the disabled community so that we can live an independent life.
Have you ever had surgery? What for?
Yes. A hysterectomy. Praise, the Lord I’m healing just fine.
A very short podcast today. I had my surgery this and now, I am at home recovering. This episode is about my surgery.

An updated what is going on in my life.
Hello, I hope you are having a good week. I wanted to explain why I haven’t been posting lately. The truth is I’m having a difficult time writing articles for my blog because I can’t concentrate, which is related to anemia.
The good news is I am finally scheduled to receive my iron infusions. I have waited nearly two months. Once my iron levels return to normal, I’m hoping writing will become easy, and my energy will return too.
Have good day,
Alexandra
Giving a brief update on what is going on in my life.
Wow! I can’t believe it is February!
Unfortunately, once again my surgery didn’t go as planned. I couldn’t be put under anesthesia safely. So, I am at home recovering, waiting on the Lord and my doctor on what will happens next.
There will be no Sunday Talk podcast this Sunday. I don’t have a voice, and my throat hurts.
I am planning to return my writing next week and move forward on my projects.
My apologies that I went dark this week. I am in the process of getting ready for my surgery. I may be offline this week. For the latest, you can to Twitter @ AMstorytelling.
Thank you.
My visit to the lab was to get my blood work drawn.
Today, I needed to have my labs drawn for an upcoming doctor’s appointment. There is a lot of scar tissue on my left arm because it is straighter than my right arm. So, getting my labs done is a poke of a roulette game, not knowing how experienced the lab tech will be.
When I went today, I had an extraordinary lab tech who did a terrific job. I didn’t even feel the needle go in. He found my vein on the first try! Yay!
I told him that he did an excellent job. It made his day, and behind his mask, I knew he was smiling.
When life becomes uncertain and difficult, you discover how strong and who you are.
