I Love My Chiropractor

I have had quite a few chiropractors along this journey and I have really loved all of them for one reason or another. Each one taught me something valuable and new and I have just loved learning from them.

Chiropractors can really get a bad rap from the traditional medical community and I think it's just not fair at all. They really do have ALOT of pieces to the puzzle and I think it is so wise to get to know more than one of them, especially since they each seem to sort of specialize in something a little different. Some chiropractors specialize in nutrition and supplements, others specialize in structural issues, and still others seem to specialize more in energy healing. I think it's all important and worthwhile.

My current doc is so wonderful, gentle, kind, gifted, amazingly smart, and of course helpful. Yesterday he hurt me a bit as he moved around my organs, but boy am I glad he did! Things seem to be working better.

My wish for the world, is that we could each have a couple of chiropractors, a holistic MD, and a traditional MD, all for very little money.

I wish I could help more people afford help. Ugh.

Sugar is Not So Sweet to Me

I haven't written a post in a while because I've actually been feeling pretty darn ok! Notice I was careful not to say I'm feeling great, because I'm far from that, but I've actually been getting out and doing fun things with my family and it has been wonderful!!!

I was doing well, and thought I'd have some fun and eat brownies and candy at Halloween. Ugh. Bad idea! After that mistake, I got to suffer a huge flare up of all my symptoms. It is yet another reminder for me that sugar is definitely not sweet to me right now. When I say I had a flare up, it's not just a sugar headache. It is literally a flare up of a hundred symptoms.

I really think that anyone trying to heal chronic illness should carefully consider staying away from sugar as much as possible. It's amazing to me how many of my symptoms flare up with it and if I didn't normally stay away from it, I might not even know that's what was making me flare up. Anyway, I always say everyone is different, but it's definitely a huge factor for probably a lot of people.

I love the book "Healing Multiple Sclerosis", by Ann Boroch. It has really helped me to understand the importance of staying away from the junk as much as I can. :)
