Had my MRI on the 11th. Spent time like a cork in a bottle so they can see what the brain is doing. I am pretty sure I have a sizable new lesion on my cerebellum as I have some very interesting ataxic kinds of tremors going on in my head and upper body. Strange stuff. I meet with my Neuro on Monday 25th so it will be interesting to see what he wants to do.
I have been on Rebif long enough that if it was going to work my brain mri should show that. IF not I worry about the next step. I have anxiety about Tysabri and I think that would be my next step. :-\ Hmmm...in any case yeah, guess I don't need to get all freaked out before it happens.
In the meantime I am juicing and smoothy-ing like a freaking champion. Love it bigtime.
Looks a bit anemic in the picture, but in real life it was very good. A fruit (w/spinach) 'sorbet', made with one banana, 2 oranges, raw spinach, and frozen peaches, blended and enjoyed!
Sauteed Radishes! My sister recommended this recipe and I baulked so much at first, but these were amazing! I used some grape seed oil (she recommended butter), green onion, sea salt, pepper, and radishes. Saute them until they turn nice and purple and are tender. They are so good I want to eat them for every meal.
After months (and I wish this was me being hyperbolic, but no it has been MONTHS) of stuggle to get my two cats off of their 'fast food' style grain filled commercial kibble. And on to a raw meat, no grain diet, made by me...dealing with their rejection of them not even recognizing grain free food as 'real' food...then struggling against my own ocd and quite real fear of having meat in my home I compromised and bought this raw diet recipe for them, that comes frozen in pre-cut 1oz medallions.
So instead of feeding them an all raw meat diet, that I make myself, I thaw and feed them the raw in the morning, and a grain free kibble at night. It's not where I wanted to end up, but I couldn't rationalize with my meat phobia and face the prospects of grinding, mixing, portioning, and cleaning up after all that raw meat. This seemed like the best I could really do. It still creeps me out, but it's a manageable amount of daily cleanup and my germaphobia doesn't go too crazy, and it's in reality so much better than where I started that I just have to take baby steps. Maybe at some point I will be able to take the plunge but not right now.
