Yummo!
I'm sure Rachel Ray is so proud at this moment.
And there goes all my hard chopping work.
I think it's a takeaways and alcohol sort of night.
About Me
- Jen
- I'm Jen and this is my blog. I'll take you through my diagnosis and life with an incurable illness. In 2008 I was diagnosed with Familial Mediterranean Fever but in July 2010 I was diagnosed with Tumour Necrosis Factor alpha Receptor Associated Periodic Syndrome. (google Familial Hibernian Fever) I'd really like to work as a fertility educator or an arthritis educator. I enjoy baking, trying to find 'good' Mexican food in NZ and my dream is to vacation in Tahiti. I'd trade money for Sleep, cats and warm weather.
Tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS) is a rare multisystem genetic disorder characterized by unexplained periodic episodes or "attacks" of fever associated with additional symptoms including muscle pain (myalgia), abdominal pain, headaches and skin rashes. The specific symptoms can vary greatly from one person to another. The duration of the characteristic episodes can also vary, lasting anywhere from a couple days to one week to more than one month. Onset is usually during infancy or childhood. TRAPS is caused by mutations of the tumor necrosis factor receptor-1 (TNFR1) gene that encodes the 55-kDa receptor for TNF.
