Small Successes

Well, it's been 2 years gluten-free. Still can't work, can't drive much, need caretakers.... BUT!!!!....

I'm making these really exciting baby steps and getting better. A small sampling:

-It's been over a year since I've had to go to the ER.

-I made it through a long weekend rehearsal (singing) without a giant meltdown (think reverting to 5 year old when tired and hungry + fatigue). I did have to sit out some, but never had to lie down or leave.

-I can sit up with my legs straight out in front of me. I've had this terrible neural tension preventing me from doing that. =)

-My physical therapist has said I've turned a corner and am now strong enough to do some of the exercises that will make me stronger.

-When I walked in to acupuncture yesterday, my acu said that I looked good and I definitely had better energy.

I know it's a long way to go, and I get SO frustrated sometimes, but I have to keep reminding myself where I was two years ago and couldn't walk without help.

It's kind of like watching a snail race though. B)

Here's to moving forward and finding reasons to celebrate. =)

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      I was checking aip diet and discovered that aspirin is prohibited. I definitely can understand why that is but my cardio dr says to stay on it. So aip is done before I even get started.

      How to choose a Naturopath for 6yr old

      You are more than welcome.  I think there are quite a lot of different types out there, my own nutritionist was a v. highly qualified scientist as well, but at least you can see what qualifications they are which seem to be quite well stated.  I wish you all well on your son's coeliac journey.

      Raw Meat Craving

      By Jordan Carlson · Posted

      Thanks for the info @knitty kitty! I really appreciate when people recommend things for me to try, it helps a lot! I will run this stuff by my doctor at my next appointment next week. It is also good to know I am not alone with the continued reactions though. It has been pretty difficult for me and has taken a bit of a toll on my mental health. Trying so hard and dedicating so much time to resolve this issue just to feel like I am running around in circles. But i'm glad to get some insight from people who have experienced the same thing. My family and friends just keep saying i'm crazy andthat i'm a hypochondriac. But the only thing that has gotten me this far in my journey and this close to figuring it out is not listening to them and believing in myself.

      Thank you for responding.  Yes I am.  Infact, sometimes I think it's getting worse. How do you deal with it? I do the best I can but it has taken away my independence.
