Looks Like I am Going to Try a Modified Swank Diet

I have been reading the Multiple Sclerosis Diet Book for awhile now. Although it has its proponents and detractors alike, I have to do what I feel is best for me. And for now, I am pretty sure I am going to try a modified version of the diet as soon as circumstances allow. I like it for several reasons I won't go into right now. I first have to study some more, source ingredients, practice preparing dishes, etc, so it will be some time before I am able to convert over to the diet, nevermind weaning myself off of the customary ingredients in most recipes. And with so little energy it will take awhile before I can even tackle it head on, so for now I am going to find one recipe at a time to try, and as I learn them I am going to slowly switch over. I found an interesting internet message board about the Swank diet here if anyone is interested:

I have to contact the rehabilitation center on Monday. They called Friday while I was sleeping and my neurologist sent them an order for therapy. I am excited. I have been asking for this for some time.

About My Blog

This is my personal blog. It details my own personal experiences with MS, as well as other ramblings about my life. I am NOT a medical professional and cannot offer advice or opinions of a medical nature. If you need medical atention, please contact a physician or, in emergencies, your nearest hospital emergency room. MS has many faces, and every single patient has his or her own unique experiences and challenges.

Walk MS 2011 Underway!

The WalkMS 2011 campaign is underway! I will be participating as a Walk Captain for the Anderson Area Taking Strides team at the WalkMS event for the East Central Indiana group. The Walk will be held on April 16, 2011 at Worthen Arena on the campus of Ball State University in Muncie.

We would love to have your support. Please join us for the walk! You may participate in several ways, including walking with us, raising funds, donating in any number of ways. The proceeds from the walk help support MS patients and their families in many ways, including local support groups, many programs through local and state chapters of the NMSS, and direct assistance programs for those in financial need.

MS can be financially devastating, and there are many patients and families in need. You may donate right now by clicking here. Thank you! Hope to see you there!
