Chronically Ill Christian, Challenged to be Content
After being home for about 10 hours, my itching flare returned. I’m not sure why I didn’t have to live on Benadryl while staying in a hotel and eating so much junk food. I was sleeping on sheets that weren’t washed with organic soap and had the dog in the bed with us. I’ll be…
