I know this blog is mostly about makeup and fashion, but I can tell you that it is not very fashionable or pretty to be sniffing and snorting all the time.

Today is WFMW and I want to share a product with you that has been more helpful to me than you will ever know. Some of you already know this, but for those of you who don’t; I have a non-existent immune system.

Eight years ago I was diagnosed with Lupus, an auto-immune disease. It is kind of like the opposite of AIDS; with AIDS, you have an under active immune system, and with Lupus you have an overactive immune system. That would be great if my body only attacked the bad stuff in my body, but unfortunately it is so overactive, it is confused and my white blood cells attack my joints, creating Rheumatoid Arthritis, and my muscles, creating a muscular disease called Polymiositis. I have been put on tons of medication. Four of them are immune suppressants which destroy my white blood cells before my white blood cells destroy me. That leaves me not to far away from someone who has AIDS; practically no immune system at all.

One of the hardest things I deal with is infections. I get ear infections, bladder infections, respiratory infections, sinus infections…you name it. When I take antibiotics, I get yeast infections. Ugh!!!! When things get really bad, my doctor takes me off of one of my immune suppressors so the antibiotics will help some. It is like the lesser of two evils because then, my other two diseases flair up and I am in a terrible amount of pain until the infection clears and I can go back on all of my medication. Talk about your catch twenty-two!

Two months ago I got a terrible chest cold and my chiropractor had me try Andrographis Plus. It is an herbal immune support supplement. He told me to take two tablets every 2 hours for 12 hours then take one tablet three times a day for five days. You are not going to believe it worked. I was so excited!!!! He told me to stop taking them after that and then start the series the next time I felt something coming on. It works! I don’t really know what they are exactly, but it works and I will keep a bottle on hand at all times. They seemed expensive at first, but now that I know they work, they are definitely worth it.

I don’t know if you can get them other places, so you can click on this link to Beavercreek Chiropractic Clinic and you can call their office and order from them (I did call and ask them if it is ok and they were fine with it.)

Ok, their site must be down so I will just give you thier information:

Today we are participating in WFMW with our good friends at www.rocksinmydryer.net . We are to blog about something that doesn’t work for us!

I know some of you are here as a result of my BFF Jenny from momminitup, pimping me out. If you have never been to her blog, it is a must read. She is a master at……all yall out there who know her know exactly what I am talking about…..COUPONING! She amazes me. She has enough free stuff at her house to start her own store. Well, I hate to burst some bubbles especially sweet Bethany who was kind enough to have a cuponing class for all of us, but I CAN’T COUPON!!! I am not kidding. It freaks me out. Pleeeeeaasse tell me there is some other freak out there. I hate standing alone. I have tried, God knows (Jenny too!) I’ve tried. If fries my brain or something. I spend hours clipping and sorting, and making a list and checking it twice. By the time I’m finished  I don’t have enough time, much less energy, to get my butt to the store. When Jenny came over for Bible study and saw that my Sunday paper was still on the porch, she was concerned. I had to then confess to her that I had a whole pile of papers tucked in the bookshelves of my office. She was very disappointed. Being the BFF that she is, she quickly came up with a brilliant solution:

I use a site that will tell me exactly where the coupon is and what the best store is to use it at. It is called The Grocery Game. Jenny told me to file the ads whole (like in a fan file) until I print and highlight the items from The Grocery Game that I want to buy. Then I can get my dd Krisha to cut out the coupons on the list before I go to each store. Brilliant! She never ceases to amaze me. I know it will work. If I would just do it….the paper pile is starting to take over my office. Argh! Couponing just doesn’t work for me.
