I figure that by having the procedure and feeling so many benefits from it that I owe it to my body to treat it like a temple. It sounds douchey and cliche', I know...
I feel like I have a second chance at taking better care of myself and this time I'm damn well going to do it! I am going to look into Ashton Embry's MS diet that so many people swear by. www.direct-ms.org I am also going to try "Lion's Mane Mushrooms as they reportedly have been medically researched and found to help the generation of myelin. I'm also going to stay on my 4.5mg of LDN for awhile too.

I keep thinking of that British woman who had her face eaten off by a dog and then was given a "new face" by some kind hearted plastic surgeons who performed it pro bono. She reportedly started smoking cigarettes, again, as soon as they sewed her new lips back on. I think that is like spitting on a gift and I do not want to do the same with mine.

I try not to make this blog too depressing. The subject matter is often difficult, yet my life is not cheerless at all. My goal is to be genuine, with just a dash of uplifting. I hope people feel better after visiting here, not worse, or at the very least they become more informed about disabled life. One of these days I'm going to tell a story with a plain, simple, happy ending. But, unfortunately, this is not that day.

Here is a brief recap of what I’ve already written about the Rituxan clinical trial:

In MS, it is thought that the main problem stems from certain immune cells "crossing over" the blood-brain barrier into the brain and attacking the myelin that protects nerve cells. Exactly how they do this is a bit of a mystery. However, scientists recently have managed to observe this never-before-seen behavior.
