Hello. I went for my annual Gyn appointment today and my doctor said that I'm very healthy. Yep, I'm a good weight, not on any medication, I exercise, blood pressure is good, no menopause issues.....but then there's little thing called LC. Sigh. No pity party, though. I know it could be M.S., cancer or something worse. I'm very thankful for my friends on here who understand.

Great news Marcia!! It does suck though, not going to lie. I guess we can't have a perfect life......

Marcia,
What you have confided is what so many of us know is real. MC for most of us is a life long chronic condition. But it IS manageable for many.
Yup, there are so many things that are way worse. I have two close friends that are dealing with terminal cancer.
Thanks for the reminder for us to keep "perspective"

Marcia- I know exactly what you mean. While I am not battling cancer (and thankful for that) there have certainly been times where I felt I was still in ‘the fight of my life’, battling to keep my quality of life.... or some quality of life...no matter how little. And sometimes I was just plain scared that the quality of my life would be minimal.
I have made good strides and no longer feel that fear, but agree with you both- illness of any kind just sucks. No one gets it like our friends on this board.

When I first found this board I was desperate. It was such a relief just to know that there were others experiencing what I was experiencing. I thought I was all alone with this. Since I was almost entirely housebound when I found this board I was quite happy to do anything and everything suggested here and it worked. I have no desire to experiment with foods. I cook all my own foods and don't eat out. I'm used to it and it works. Nothing really to complain about. I think people get into trouble when they focus on what they can't have. One thing that helped turn my mind around to simply accepting the cards I was dealt was to stop asking myself "why me?" and turn it around into "why not me?". In fact I often consider myself fortunate for no longer being a slave to food and for learning to eat in such a healthy way. I can even consider this as gift for it has led me to a much healthier life style.
