Not quite sure if it is the pysco-somatic effect of hearing the diagnosis, the PT + high dosage anti-inflamatories and muscle relaxants or the new vitamins (adult 50+ megas that I crush and drink with juice + extra iron, D+Calcium and selenium)or the fact that the sun is shinning brightly but I am feeling better (finally!).
I worked out for the first time in the park today..,or at least did 1/2 a workout (10 x 70 stairs + the hill 3xs) and a bit of arms...and I survived without falling over or feeling like I was going to have a heart attack.
The new vitamins are for something in this...the gummies just are not enough dosage-wise and the over 50's seem to help within a week but need crushing or they don't dissolve.
It is probably a combination or all 3 plus all of the spring fruits and veggies are purifying my system nicely (asparagus or artichokes, strawberries and tons of citrus at 2 out of 3 meals every day)and I drink the cooking liquid from the veggies...
The PT is now putting the ultasonic pads on my feet too so I can now walk without pain...the first time since September that I am feeling a bit optimistic about life and feeling so much less pain,
Hubby commented today, when we went to the park, that I was no longer in tears every time that I moved or got up...
So, whatever it is, I hope to keep doing it because it helps.
Don't give up the good fight...there is a light at the end of the tunnel...even if it is a tiny one.
