Me? Mixed bag really. The food situation is great except that I may be giving myself too many choices. This is not one of my choices just the choice to be bad. Last week I was BAD and ate a hot pastrami sandwich, which is one of my most favorite things in the world to eat. Paid for it for two days.
Overall, I eat pretty strictly gluten, dairy and soy free. Alas, I still have D but not as often in a day and not as urgent......except after the hot pastrami fiasco. I have discovered that Earth Source Original spread is totally yummy and cooks and bakes very well. I tried rice milk. Yuck! Too watery. I was drinking Califia Almond milk and it is good but then I tried Silk Almond milk and Silk Almond Chocolate Milk! HELLO HOT CHOCOLATE! My two new favorites.
As I have mysterious neurological problems, it is really affecting my sleep. Either that or a cat in my lap sends sleep vapors and I find myself taking almost daily three, even four hour naps. Of course then I don't sleep at night and find myself going to bed around 1:00 A.M. The alarm goes off at 5:30 and I get up to get hubby off to work. He leaves and I get chores done but crash around 9:30A.M. and the cycle starts again. I have a Neurologist appt on the 19th in which I need to further clarify my missing brain matter issue, my pain in my lower back so that I cannot bend, my tremors in my hands, my balance issues and my sleep issues.
My spray Magnesian is a real help and I take 1000 units of vit D. I believe it is contributing to my feeling of well being along with my trusty 120 mg of Cymbalta.
Now this may sound really weird and ewwwww, but because most times when I sit, I don't know that I need to use the facilities. As soon as I stand up,however, it can be an urgent matter and it is then that the bathroom seems miles away as my mobility is compromised resulting in a messy mess. Here it is; I am seriously thinking of purchasing a sturdy potty chair with arms and a bucket and liner underneath so that I can get it done immediately. Is this just too gross? My shades are mostly pulled and I could dispose of the liner as soon as I'm through. In my case, as I'm sure this might be true for some of you, when you got sick, friends who said that they would always have your back, have slowly or quickly disappeared when faced with a "friend" who might be conceived as a burden, a drama queen/king or not worth hanging with because they have ceased to be "fun". This has happened to me for the most part, so I suddenly don't have many friends but plenty of acquaintances who have chosen to move on without me. So my point, it wouldn't be asthetically displeasing to have a potty chair in my living room because no one will see it but me and my hubby, and he's all for it. Goodness, my house is looking more like an assisted living care home every day.
I'll try to catch up with everyone as this next week approaches. I'm also going to look at making my own GF bread. That ought to be interesting. I have many G/D/S Free recipes on my on my Pinterest page that grows to more regularly.
