6/4/2017 1:36:57 PM | Well I was just getting to the end of my 21st month post and had written out a really long heartfelt post and then just now hit a key by accident and that was it - all gone! I remember that happening to Mary so hey ho, lets have another go! It will no doubt all come out differently and probably shorter this time but perhaps a little more focused. If I try to put a figure on it I'm about 97% better - just a few tiny black or white specks on hands or face, but not every day. Some days nothing! Rash on my face is still there but much better than it was. Sudocreme at night seems to help at the moment. I'm trying to get to bed earlier. I've never been great at it. Watching all the episodes of The Truth About Cancer series recently has meant I've got behind with the recorded calls here, but it was a great reinforcer of all sorts of things, sleep included. They said aim to have at least 3 hours between finishing eating and going to bed. I'm trying. I'm working on making the evening meal earlier to get to bed earlier. Mentioning it here will make me more accountable to you all! For those just starting out I want to encourage you that this all gets so much easier with time. The first six months I found it so tough sticking to everything and sorting out diet and remembering everything. And I found the diet so tough, the hardest thing. It felt a huge task. By the time I got to 12 months though it had become a habit and a routine. So stick at it, be strict with yourself and it will get better. Now it feels like normal life. Plus the symptoms get better, so life starts to get back to normal. I used to struggle to drink the WPS. Its fine now, no problem and I drink it without thinking, without having to try. For those who feel that they have lost their lives - it will come back. God knows what we can handle and when and how long we need to rest. Things that I laid down or were laid down for me through circumstances beyond my control are starting to come back. I led worship this morning at church after a six year break. I felt a little rusty but it was fine and so good to feel that normal life is coming back. My husband and I are setting up a Freedom In Christ ministry at church and have completed our first course with some folks and planning the next in the autumn. Life is full with family issues but I'm getting rest when I need it. I'm now quite unashamedly insistent on getting lie downs/naps in the day if I need it, or even just a break away from people in another room to sit quietly. So be encouraged if you feel that life is passing you by at the moment. God will bring things back, restore the years for you that have been stolen, take you on new adventures, in His timing, which is always for your good. |
