Great-full and Thankful!!

(Original post: 11/25/2013)
Hi friends, today is my first vacation day since July4th. MG slaughtered my last 3 week long vacations (thanksgiving, Christmas,New years & July4th).

As thanksgiving approaches, I'm freaked that some horrible MG attack will come and f me up despite that I feel pretty darn good!

2013 has been one weird year!----MG diagnosis, scary doc appts, MRIs, CAT scans, blood tests, disability leave Dec-April, 3month stints of double vision & weakness, month long colds, prednisone, mestinon, cellcept---and THEN nutribullet-ing, MG fb groups, acupuncture, 32 days of juice, colonics, going Paleo AIP, kicking coffee & the infinite quest for good health!

Well it's thanksgiving week, I am grateful and full of greatness! I am thankful for many joys and prosperity in my life. I am thankful that my MG is under control. I am thankful that I'm working, rocking and getting to enjoy being a mom. I'm thankful (yet terrified) to continue to taper off the prednisone (I'm at my last breakthrough level (but holding strong).

Grateful for today as my Mom reminds me of the saying "yesterday is history, tomorrow's a mystery, that's why they call today the present"!

Holi-daze!

Just came home from a celebratory end of the year dinner (fun but unhealthy food & drink). Also-- been (stress) eating since turkey day (cheese, hot chocolates, wine, pizza, even some gluteny cookies).

It's official: I feel like crud! Gained 10lbs. And my eyes are twitching and weak. Booze makes it worse.

Gunna get back in the juice train tomorrow!
