I tried gluten free/low fat in the first days after my first attack and just got worse because I wasn't eating at all.<br /><br />I'm not a foodie. I eat out of convenience and because if I don't I will be sick. If it isn't delivered or can be heated up in the microwave or oven, I'm not likely to eat it at home, and gluten free/low fat food at restaurants is nigh on impossible.<br /><br />I am doing a Mediterranean diet, sort of, because there's a lot of finger foods available and it involves way more veggies than I would naturally consume on my own. I am getting better than I was 7 months ago, I'm just not interested in being worse than I was a year ago when I had a normal life.<br /><br />I understand that this is working for you, as it is a friend of mine, but I am not going to make myself sicker in the name of avoiding things that may or may not be the issue.<br /><br />I'm not sure how this ended up getting posted to your blog.

Connected with you on Twitter the other ...Hi Lori,<br /><br />Connected with you on Twitter the other day. I read a bit of your blog today.<br /><br />I've had MS for 15 years. There's plenty of shit I could tell you but there's plenty of time for that if you're into it. The one thing I did want to mention is this book - "The MS Recovery Diet". It's available at Amazon. <br /><br />I avoided a lot of the diet stuff like the plague for the first years of my MS. I finally gave in after steadily getting worse. Between Tysabri and the diet, I am had the best year I've had since getting diagnosed. <br /><br />I don't know what will work best for you, obviously, but I wish I had the information in that book sooner. So thought I'd pass it along. For a depressed foodie like me, it's a bitch!! I love my food. LOVE. I've made a deal with the universe that I will get to eat everything I want in some other life or something. In any case, I had to get very, very miserable before I was willing to do it. And the stupid thing was, I felt much better after doing it. It's not a cure, but it makes my day to day life about 1000x better. My cognitive problems improved a lot.<br /><br />I'm on-line a lot and am happy to converse if you want to. I've been around the block a few times with this disease, which is hard for me to believe. I remember that first year after diagnosis and some of the panic I felt. Somebody needs to tell your social worker that nobody can MAKE you accept it. You'll figure that out on your own.<br /><br />sincerely,<br /><br />Trishtrrishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11840209409286594625noreply@blogger.com
