Managing MC

[Janie]

I have slowly come back to the living. Area 51 is improving. I have resolved my breathing problem,(Can't take a deep breath) with religiously taking of Magnesium and Vit D. I have stayed on meat and cooked veggies for about 6 mos. and now have added some gluten free, dairy free waffles and bagels with almond butter. I have started adding some more supplements to my day including b complex and fish oil along with Vit. C and my meds. I take Allegra and small amt. of Benedryl at night most days. I am on a routine dose of loperamide to help regulate my BMS. My new GI Dr. is helping me manage the MC. but I don't tell him everything. But he is not fond of PPI's so that is a plus.
I still have a hard time with social anxiety and I am slowly working on that with my friends and family. I live with my family which eat gluten but are conscious of my eating and cooking space. I can't stress about that or our new President either. It is workable.
I have read all the main forum and apply what I can to me. I had a rough start mainly because I didn't take the steroid, due to osteoporosis and most meds I have tried have disagreed with me. I will never give up my Mag or Vit D since I feel once that was under control everything fell in to place.
Thank you to Gabes and Tex along with everyone else who have contributed to this support group. I will try to contribute as I can.

Janie,

It's great to see that you're doing so much better. And I agree with you that once we get the basics for healing established, things begin to fall into place.

Thank you for your inspiring update. I hope you continue to recover until your original symptoms are nothing more than a bitter memory.
