Actually &amp;#8220;the gang&amp;#8221;  started with a forum for women with chronic &amp;#8220;Invisible Illnesses&amp;#8221; called Chronic Babe. (Chronic Babe is the brain child of Jenni Prokopy.)

		<description>Healthcare from my daughter Teresa&amp;#8217;s perspective&amp;#8230;
Since I’ve started looking into the medical system from a bringing life into the world perspective, I’ve found the US is a scary ass place to do it. For 1/3 of the cost of a hospital birth a low risk woman can give birth at home and not feel like [...]&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/fibrochondriac/NhiW/~4/h3pz8tgIDO4" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

		<description>Have you noticed I haven&amp;#8217;t been blogging much lately? I&amp;#8217;ve noticed it at least:) This happened once before last August when I was frustrated by family problems. Again&amp;#8230;frustrated. Different problem, but has absolutely nothing to do with my blogging. Weird, isn&amp;#8217;t it?
So I&amp;#8217;m going to force it. Bear with me, pretty sure this post will [...]&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/fibrochondriac/NhiW/~4/lSjoiVRV4DY" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

I&amp;#8217;ve been home for three days and flaring like crazy. Foggy, oh so foggy&amp;#8230; so still not writing.
Quick LDN update: I stopped taking the LDN while I was traveling because the insomnia was kicking my butt. [...]&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/fibrochondriac/NhiW/~4/Xgt2D7qpEso" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

		<description>I don’t know if this will work but I’ll give it a shot.
I’ve been up in Washington and things have been a little crazy. I didn’t bring a computer with me so no posts, sorry.
I’ll be back home the beginning of February and will catch you up then. Promise!
