Hello All!

I missed posting in my blog on January 1, 2013. I have been sick with this horrendous cold since December 26th. It is 1:30 in the morning on January 2nd and I am feeling a little better. I have slept so much this past week I just totally missed out on everything. I think that having a cold and MS is a double whammy for me. For the first 2 days I was not able to walk very well and used a walker for the first time since I was diagnosed. That really bothered me. I never dreamed that it would come down to this. It was not bad to use a walker but the independence in me really showed its true colors. I was not happy but am grateful the walker is there for me to use. Nothing tasted good this week, all  I wanted to do was sleep. I am now ready to join the land of the living.

One of the milestones for this year for me is to lose a ton of weight and get my legs back in shape so that I am able to walk more. I will be 50 this year, wow! I have had MS since I was 28 years old. I have achieved a lot and have come a long way in being at peace with myself. More comfortable with the fact I have MS and it is not a death sentence for me. Now I want to focus on staying really healthy by eating right removing food (that comes from animal) from my diet. This is a huge goal for me. I plan to post in here the progress so everyone can see how I am doing and if it makes a difference the diet change.

Stay Strong!
