Gift Guide: Yogi

The holidays are rapidly approaching, and you know what that means – it’s time to buy presents! I will be posting a weekly gift guide for different topics, interests, and types of people. I know that there are gift guides galore out there, so I’m trying to provide a more specific approach and avoid adding just another gift guide. Today I’m providing gifts for (you guessed it) yogis, or those who practice yoga!

Once they arrived, I put them on immediately and didn’t want to take them off! And Yoga Outlet is a great place. They have so many different yoga necessities, and some of the links in this post go to Yoga Outlet for that category. I really recommend them to anyone looking for good yoga clothing and accessories without breaking the bank.

    I absolutely love this! I really like the long tank tops for working out/barre classes. There is nothing worse than pulling at your clothes and missing part of the workouts!

⁣
I'm always amazed by how people can have the exact same illness or set of illnesses and still have different experiences. Sure, there will be similarities, but which symptoms are the worst, what medications you respond to, and your quality of life can vary significantly. ⁣
⁣
It doesn't mean that one person is necessarily worse off than another; they're just different.⁣

I don’t know the exact date of my RA diagnosis, bu I don’t know the exact date of my RA diagnosis, but this is from right around then in July 2010. ⁣
⁣
When I was diagnosed, I had been having symptoms for 9 years. ⁣
- 9 years of foot pain (partially from tarsal coalition)⁣
- Arthritic damage in said food⁣
- Carpal tunnel off and on for several years⁣
- And more⁣
⁣
I was finally diagnosed because I woke up one morning and was unable to open my jaw more than 8 mm. It turned out that I had horrible arthritic damage to my TMJs, which got me off the waiting list at MGH rheumatology. I left that appointment with an autoimmune arthritis diagnosis. ⁣
⁣
The fact that July is not only my diagnosis anniversary but also Juvenile Arthritis Awareness Month has always seemed right. I may not have been diagnosed with JA, but given the amount of arthritis I had along with my many years of symptoms, it's generally accepted that I had it. ⁣
⁣
This year marks 16 years since diagnosis and this fall marks 25 years since my symptoms started. It's pretty weird that so much time has already passed!⁣
