Clarity Doesn’t Come First (opens the original)

I used to think there would be a moment when everything lined up: the right time, the clear signal, all the pieces in place before I moved. There wasn’t one, and there never is. Life doesn’t ask you if you’re ready before it throws something at you: a diagnosis, a phone call you didn’t see coming, a surgery.<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!9hO6!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fp

Last Monday I told you my uveitis was back. Today I want to tell you about how we can do something about that and help the 50 million-plus Americans living with one or more autoimmune conditions.<img alt="" class="sizing-normal" height="650" src="https://substackcdn.c
What I Would Have Missed (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Welp, in true Indie form, it looks like my uveitis is back. For those of you who don’t know, it is an autoimmune condition that impacts your eye. We’ve already ruled out the brain tumor playing a lead part in this and yes, I’m seeing another one of my specialists to help with the flare. Besides the pain, I was more annoyed than anything else as I had cleared the weekend for some screen time to organize and work on some projects.<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackc
