It’s tune-up time again!! A “tune-up,” for those of you who aren’t in the know, is when the IV antibiotics have to come around to kick some ass. Sadly, bacteria can be stubborn. On the flip side of things, stubborn bacteria are probably why we still have life after the dinosaurs went extinct. Science. I...

What’s Wrong Now?

Why We Do It

  • Motivation

What’s in it for us? Why do we live this life? Why do we do it, and maybe more importantly, how do we do it? The complexities in the answers to these questions could certainly fill the pages of an entire book, but since this is a blog, and since you’re undoubtedly cutting into your...

I got a pretty interesting email (not saying that every email I get isn’t interesting!!) from Nicole, 28 with CF, the other day. It was somewhat of a response to my last Ask Gunnar blog (http://gunnaresiason.com/ask-gunnar-5), and specifically the question I received about dating. The gist of her email was that after a bad break...

Comfort with you Feeding Tube

  • 28. Jul. 2015

  • Feeding Tube, Podcast

The fourth episode of the Own Your Feeding Tube video podcast series discusses some of the social questions that tube feeders, or potential tube feeders, may have when it comes to a new feeding tube. Obviously, it’s a pretty noticeable device. I think the social hurdle was really the biggest one that I had to...

Don’t Say That To Me

This blog post touches on the invisible disease side of things. I know I went pretty deeply into that with my little story about almost getting tazed on an airplane ride from Boston to New York (http://gunnaresiason.com/i-hate-the-color-purple), but this is a little bit of a different take on the subject.
