So, just a quick message to say that I've got an appointment with a neurologist next Friday.  And the nurse who set up the appointment was sorry she didn't manage to find a slot sooner "but at least you get an awesome doc.  He's really good."  That's ok, I really don't mind.  Now I'm just waiting for word from my GP (who's awfully busy today), to ( Read more... )

I've been to a Doppler scan.  It took a long time, the good endocrinologist (who has to be the brother or other relative of my former doc, because I finally remembered his first name - and they're not the same) went back and forth, and I was lying there on the bench wondering what that deep furrow between his eyebrows meant.  Didn't he see anything ( Read more... )

Because, as I am on a mission to get my vit. D levels increased so that they get to optimal level (and not stay at less than half of recommended), I am trawling the web for science reports about MS and Vit. D.  And I just discovered that it's actually as much as 50 - fifty! - years since the correlation between MS and Vit.D/lack of sunshine was ( Read more... )

I find it an interesting coincidence (or actually, not a coincidence - a synchronicity!) that today, when I wrote my first post to losewithfriends (and yes, feel free to join if you're working on downsizing your pysical self), I got an email from Women to Women about weight loss.  W2W is a healt centre for women, run by women, and I've been on their mailing list ( Read more... )

I've finished reading Feelings Buried Alive Never Die by Karol Truman and at the end she's got a long list - Probable Feelings Causing Illness.  I'm trying to digest what she says about MS.  Some rings very true, other parts not so much.  But maybe there are parts of me that shame me so that I don't want to look at them?  Also, this is a disesase ( Read more... )

Poor Bel is having a horrible cold, so I suggested I give her the recipe for my favourite drink when that particular ailment hits.  I then I figured that I might as well post it here, as the common cold season is approaching on my half of the globe.  I have this from ... erm ... I think the book is called The New Age Herbalist, and it really works ( Read more... )

Just to let you know, the miracle worked again.  The moon has passed its full point a few hours ago, and my headache is now completely gone.  As is my queasiness.  Weeeeee!  Yes, I'm a happy bunny, even if my back still aches, but I'm working on that.  I've just had a long bath and are ready for a nice, long meditation and hopefully hours of ( Read more... )

Yesterday I was called from school, to come pick up godlet. He had hurt the back of his head (they weren't quite sure how), and had been crying uncontrollably for half an hour.
So I picked him up, and we went to the doctor's office, where it was made a note in his journal that another kid had hit him in the head with a bucket. Another kid had ( Read more... )

After two hellish days, I'm back on my feet again.  Guess by tomorrow I'll be right as rain, and that's a big comfort.  Thankfully I have the soul coaching network, so I bugged my fellow coaches for healing (there are Reiki masters in the group, among others), my mum dug out her own Reiki knowledge and did a serious effort, and all this combined ( Read more... )

The involved:

Madam Pomfrey, nurse

Bill Weasley, a young man

Perpetua Phoenixfire, a young woman

Dawn.  The rising sun is shining through the tall windows of an infirmary.  Large, open room.  Stone walls.  Seven beds on each side of the room, made up in crisp white linens. Screens stored in far right corner.  Storage cupboard with potions ( Read more... )
