Wow Ant - lucky you to have access to the dream restaurant for us PP

.

It's so good to see you back here - you've been missed. You were one of the first people to greet me when I joined almost 2 years ago. Hope you're doing well.

Love,
Kari

I could sit there and eat all the ice cream I want. It could go right through me!

Dear Kari,

Hope you're doing well.

Thanks for asking. I am doing pretty well (and coming to terms with the inevitability of my Ma's decline). How about you?

I am on the same treatment (diet and 3mg entocort on average every other day). I have been reading about antihistamine and think I should look at that as a way of getting off entocort (if it is considered less dangerous than long term low dose entocort use).

Thanks for the

Kari, thanks for starting my day with a laugh! Wouldn't that restaurant be surprised to see PP as customers?......... bet no one else has actually used those toilets yet, but we surely would be tempted! Tee Hee.

Ant, I am becoming a believer in antihistamines as a treatment option. I will post something about this later today.

Hugs,

Polly

Do they franchise? Maybe we should go together and buy one.

Ant - glad to hear you're doing better. 1 entocort every other day sounds like good progress. It is my feeling that healing from gluten damage to the intestines takes a very long time. It's over 2 years now since I dropped the gluten, and subsequently "everything else", and I am loads better. However, I'm not yet where I can say I'm in remission, but I most definitely have my life back.

So much of my energy was taken up with MC management over the last 2 years. As you may know, I've had to learn to cook with everything that goes along with that. You are fortunate to have a few safe restaurants where they know your needs and cater to you. I invariably get into trouble when I eat out. I think I'll have to start doing like you, Polly, and bring my own food when I go out :).

As testament to the fact that I'm getting so much stronger and healthier, I have enrolled in a yoga teacher program, which will go through March of next year. If I manage to stick with it and do all the work, I should be able to get Yoga Alliance teacher certification at that time.

As Gabes has said, and Jean has often reiterated, a huge part of living with MC is acceptance and making peace with it. For me, as time goes by, and the management becomes more routine, I seem to do a lot better. I no longer suffer those crushing disappointments when I get in trouble, but trust that I'll get back on track quickly.

Love,
Kari

P.S. I think exploring antihistamines is a great idea - good luck with that.

Reminds me of those bad days where I am on a telephone call all the way into the bathroom. Makes for a great office chair. I am sure you can all relate.
