Wow Karen, your post is so full of hope for us all! I love the picture of your fingernails. I don't know if the guys get it but it's such a good feeling to like how your nails look or have a good hair day! Your nails look wonderful. It's been awhile since my hair has felt like my own or I felt like my fingernails and toenails looked nice. Sometimes it's just the small things I miss. Now our immune system getting better, that's a huge deal


It's so great hearing that your CD57 numbers have made such a significant jump. Not everyone gets the opportunity to take those types of blood tests but we all can still relate to your symptoms of a big herx out of the clear blue or breaking through even small barriers like some skin improvements or a little bit more energy. Your recent big improvement "edging into the 80% club" is fantastic! I'm so glad you are havening more energy and your skin and nails are getting better. You are such a shining star to all of us. Thank you for always sharing how you are doing. I know I am not the only one who finds strength from your experiences.

You really made me laugh out loud ( not to be confused with LOL ) with your comments about you stalking Mel or him cooking for you. It's so nice to know that the world still keeps on turning outside of our struggles to get better and win this war, if that makes sense.

The only recipe I've ever tasted of Mel's is his wonderful lemonade elixir. I still drink it if I'm herxing. It's been a lifesaver for me. Your recipes and some of the others posted under "Articles and Diet" are also helping me return to a more normal life. In the beginning, I slept a lot and ate a lot of salad type foods to remain alkaline. Normal routines of sleeping, cooking and cleaning were totally out of whack and they still are in some ways. My son and I live together and he is a senior in high school. I have always made the two of us sitting down and eating dinner together a priority. When I first got sick, I slept all the time and I didn't feel like eating much at all. I felt guilty but our tradition of eating dinner together disappeared for a few months. Then I started to cook something easy for dinner that only he could eat, like using the crockpot, and we would sit together like we always do and eat dinner together. I'd try and eat my salad and he would eat whatever I had thrown together in the crock pot. Slowly, as I started getting more energy and cooking more of the recipes that I find here or adapt from foods I used to cook, my son and I are eating the same foods at dinner. It's nice and it feels like things are getting back to normal. The other night I made your stuffed bell pepper recipe and Deanna's pumpkin cookies. I ate one serving of the stuffed bell peppers and my son ate the rest. I had to hide a couple of the cookies for me because he and a friend took the whole batch to his room. This may sound silly to some but it felt good to cook something that my son wanted to "finish off" and it made me laugh when the two boys grabbed the plate of cookies and ran off with them.

I'm right there with you doing the "cautious happy dance"! I am nowhere close to being as far along in my healing as you but I am definitely getting better and things around me are also getting better. When you share how you are doing, it helps to know that can me sometime down the road. That will be me sometime down the road!

Keep posting your recipes. They too help to make me feel normal. Sitting down and eating a meal that is OK for me to eat that my son also enjoys is for me a piece of normal. Now if I can get my fingernails to look like yours...smile!
