The goal of creating this blog is to provide insight for those who have not experienced AIP (medical practitioners,co-workers, friends and family); and to empower those who have. I am a Nurse Care Manager/Health Educator by profession. I have AIP. It is my hope that this AIP blog can act as an information portal that inspires connection making... ending in large scale wellness outcome improvements.

and...
supporting a 19 year old daughter with AIP that manifests itself as "Mr Hyde" during her Luteal phases.
