The one thing I like about the Blogger site, is that it shows you what people are searching on a weekly basis to find your blog. Most people are stumbling upon my blog with searches for information on Ganoderma and Crohn's Disease. As I see more searches that lead to my blog, I will continually update this post, or repost it at a later date or create new ones every month. Hope these help you!
I thought maybe it would be a little helpful to post a bit of a description about what everyone is searching, and how I've noticed it's helped me.
We'll start with;
Ganoderma and Sleep Deprivation - I've been known to have some insomnia, on a very regular basis. I can honestly say that I am sleeping 8 hours a night, and I am waking up feeling well rested. Definitely worth it for just this alone!
Ganoderma Powder - Does it reduce menstrual cramps? - I can honestly say that it does help with menstrual cramps, my back ache isn't as bad, and neither are my cramps! It's truly a pain saver in this sense.
Ganoderma and Crohn's Disease - Honestly, this stuff has also saved me with Crohn's Disease. I've never felt more "normal" in every aspect than I do now. It's been 5 years since I was diagnosed, and 7 since I got sick, and never in that time, until February 2013 did I feel normal, like I didn't need to watch everything I eat, or everything.
Ganoderma and Heart Disease - It is said that over the last 30 years, scientific data has showed that it may be beneficial to you to have take the Ganoderma capsules or beverages on a daily basis, it should prove to help you.

Nothing But Summer
So, with all of this flooding that happened, that washed out every road almost to BC, without making the drive over 12 hours and 1200km, and potentially unsafe...We won't be going to my cousins graduation in Revelstoke :( :( This is extremely saddening for us as I couldn't wait to see my little cousin graduate this weekend. We feel completely terrible that we can't make it safely.
With our luck, we'd get stuck out there because we'd get more rain and the road closures would increase and we wouldn't be able to make it home. As sad as we are, I would rather be safe at home, than risk our safety and maybe lives by driving out there. I will say that we are SO PROUD of my darling cousin, she's incredible, smart, talented, and determined. She will do great things in her life. We're proud of her of accomplishments and cannot wait to see what she achieves in her future.

Happy Graduation Hunn!
On another note, I think we will just be camping in the yard this weekend, having a fire, using the new BBQ, sleeping in the tent. If we can't go camping in BC, we may as well camp in the yard considering everywhere around here is completely booked up :( Things will get better, once the roads aren't closed anymore, we have a trip booked to BC from July 13-21 and I cannot wait. One of my close friends is getting married, we will help my mom clean, organize, and throw stuff out at her house, and best of all we will be camping at the BEST place on earth. I will not disclose where. :) We got a sunburn on the weekend, it's turning into a tan, so we're getting that much more tanned and ready for summer. We sit outside in our chairs with the dogs, throw some frisbee for them, lay on a blanket and suntan, and apparently suntan with the small dog. She wanted to come and lay with me on the blanket on Saturday.

Red River Blue
Things are getting crazy here. Poor Calgary and Southern Alberta. They're saying there's a lot more people being reported missing. Houses are completely submerged, being taken away in the water, flooded, and basically just destroyed. There's a lot of flooding throughout the Kootenay's too, my home. Everywhere is flooding, it's insane and completely sad. My friend and I drove into Red Deer today, to check out the river, as it's supposed to be at it's maximum levels, and they're actually evacuating people that live close, or leaving them on an evacuation notice. It's sad to see the news, to see peoples houses rushing down this big river, damaging bridges, seeing people being rescued by helicopters because they can't get anywhere.
I really wish there was something more I could do to help people, but there's been ridiculous amounts of rain and flooding, and I really don't think that there's anything more that anyone can do to help them. Nothing that untrained people can do besides offer their homes to people who have been evacuated. There are 1200 Canadian troops on their way to Calgary now, to help evacuate and save stranded people.
Everyone, pray for the people of Southern Alberta and the people in the Kootenay's. I hope that everyone is getting to a safe place, and is staying where it's safe. Everything is crazy, have emergency kits available, and everything important ready to go in case something like this does happen. My thoughts are with everyone.
They're supposed to get more rain as well, that won't help, they have a rainfall warning for another 100mm of rain in the next day or two. I want to go and check out the Dickson Dam, they're supposed to be letting out more water than they currently are letting out.
I have our emergency kit ready to go, you never know what's going to happen, not at the rate things are going now. We're safe here for now, we don't have any streams, rivers or creeks close to our house, so we should be good, but I would rather be prepared than not.

Every Storm (Runs Out Of Rain)
I'm not sure how many of you watch the news or look into Canada's weather but we're currently getting hit with a ton of rain! There are a bunch of small towns where people are being evacuated because there's so much rain that all creeks, streams, and rivers are getting so high that they're threatening peoples homes. It's not safe out there at all. Some places were to get 150mm of rain or more. It's unbelievable. It's scary too, because now there's missing people after their trailer was swept away in the river :( Every storm has to run out of rain sooner or later! People are being evacuated by helicopter and highways and bridges have washed out. It's getting serious out there.
That's the downside of this weather. On the plus side, it's going to hopefully help everyone's gardens and plants once it finally decides to be sunny and warm, which will hopefully be soon :)
We haven't really gotten a ton of rain, or it doesn't seem like it. It's raining, but it's more of a sprinkle than a downpour like some places south of us are getting. It's going to help my garden and flowers.
I don't know that we will be affected anymore than a bit of a swampy yard, as we don't really have any rivers, creeks, or streams right close to where we live. Our back yard dog pen gets really wet and horrible, to the point that our dogs refuse to go outside because basically, it's just a big muddy swamp! I don't blame them either, it's gross.
On the plus side, today makes for a great movie day/do nothing day. Although, despite the rain, I feel like I should be camping, with a tarp over head and a campfire going, having hot chocolate and roasted marshmallows. That to me sounds like a great rainy day, not that I'm complaining about being able to have a simple stay inside and watch movies kind of day :) Either way, I have to go out to the deep freeze at some point and get some meat out of there for dinner tonight, it's out in our shed, FYI. It's not a long ways, but when it's raining, and slippery, and chilly, it takes FOREVER.
I hope that wherever you are as readers, you're not getting hammered by the rain as badly as we are, and that you're all staying safe if you are. Thanks for getting me up to 2500 page views from all over the world. It's appreciated. Is there anything anyone would like me to report on?

Ten Times Crazier
Did Ya Know??
In Canada there are 200,000 people affected by Crohn's Disease. There are also at least 9,000 new Crohn's Disease patients a year!
There's over $1.8 billion spent by individuals, families, and society for Crohn's treatment. This is insane, and is more than the USA
$753 million was spent by health care coverage - this includes; hospitalization, physician visits, medications, and surgeries.
And to top off those large amounts of money - IBD incures more than $1 billion a year in indirect costs. These costs include long and short term work absences, productivity losses, caregiver work absences and patient out-of-pocket expenses related to care, nutritional products, medication, and complementary therapies.
Trying to conceive is more difficult when your Crohn's is active. When it's in remission, you could be one of the lucky people who are just like the average person and conceive easily, or you still may have many issues with fertility due to Crohn's.
People with Crohn's are at a higher risk of Cancer, any cancer to do with the digestive track. Think about it, that's a lot.
So not only are you at risk for all of these kinds of things, or putting out large amounts of money, but your personal relationships and intimacy may be burden more than any significant other can tolerate. I guess, I shouldn't say tolerate, but more than what they bargain for, and for some people, they don't want to be involved with someone who has a disease like Crohn's. :( It's incredibly unfortunate when that happens.
Stress affects Crohn's, food affects it, illness affects it, hell, even scented products affect you! Anything and everything you do puts you at a higher risk to aggravate your disease. It changes you, your moods, your weight, obviously your health, your relationships - some grow stronger, some grow weaker and dissipate - you change. Everything about you, but the only way to make you stay as much of you as possible, is being positive, being around the people who love you and who want to be beside you, who want to comfort you and surround you with love and compassion, and care for you. Don't let those people leave your side.
