Very well said!! Obviously, you're a professional. ;-)<br /><br />Acceptance of where we are at any given moment is freeing, you're so right. It doesn't mean we stop trying to manage our symptoms, it just syncs us with reality instead of wasting precious energy on wishing for something that isn't right now.Angeleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12530029219363907604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3425587787769741618.post-2995689819637372662013-01-26T06:01:35.643-08:002013-01-26T06:01:35.643-08:00I just saw a doctor who basically told me if a tri...I just saw a doctor who basically told me if a trigger is a trigger it is always a trigger. Which is what I have been saying for 15 years now. If I can eat salt to my heart's content for three years and it doesn't bother me but one night I eat a pepperoni pizza with extra cheese and wake up the next morning in the throes of an episode -- the pizza was just coincidental. In a way this has been very freeing to me. The past few weeks have been a maddening blur of trying to figure out "what I did" to bring on this latest episode. A couple of days ago I quit searching. And you know what? I feel better. Also a coincidence perhaps, but at least it's in the right direction. I had a glass of wine last week and woke up feeling worse. I had a glass of wine last night and work up feeling great. This teaches me that there is absolutely no connection between my diet and my MM. Now, if I eat better, it's because it's good for me overall. Not because I'm in some mad pursuit of "the cure." Accepting that I am going to get worse has also been freeing. It has helped me to plan next steps and envision a full life even in the shadow of this wretched disease.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08260930051489091590noreply@blogger.com
