Back from a Medically Needed Hiatus!

It's been months since I've last posted on here for one very very good reason: I've been working hard on a new treatment plan which is showing the first progress I've seen in years! The last time I wrote I had (I think) yet to visit Mayo Clinic. The particulars I will one day share (if tonight was not my night to make dinner I would try to today).

Those are not what matter. What matters is finding a neurologist who has been instrumental in working with a cardiologist and internal medicine for my health. With their help I am taking treatment towards my chronic illness in the right direction. Instead of treating it with medication alone I was told 'the approach doesn't work because medication only takes care of 20% of the issue. You need the medication but there is so much more beyond that!' 

So for the past two months I have been doing physical therapy each week, working on reversing my body's deconditioning, seeing a new doctor who is detangling my medication soup (with help from endocrinology) and learning to manage my conditions with small changes to everyday tasks.

Also, I am writing freelance once again. More to come but now...on to making a Gluten Free Tuscan Chicken Penne.
