Fast food is bad for us in so many ways. Recently it has become a major hazard. My major episodes of abdominal distress have finally been nailed to a single allergen. It took some home cooking to finally out the culprit, Soy. Horribly enough its in about everything. Vegetable oil is entirely soy these days which means every other restaurant uses it. I am happy at least to find a strong connection between all these supposedly unconnected foods.

As a review from my last message post I have withdrawn from Neurological care for the time being. I saw someone at the new doctors office and it was disastrous. She put me into a panic attack with all her negative actions. Its a good farewell still since the previous practice who has seen me for over three years established the problem was primarily autoimmune/rheumatoid. The appointment with the rheumatologist went quite well. Sadly she can't do much more until I enter a flare-up again. I was expecting it this month but only a few phenomenon have appeared.

University has trailed on as well. I am set to graduate in May though my last class bleeds over into July. I am planning to complete application to another graduate program which has me all skittish with worry again. A flare would certainly interfere but in a way it also needs to happen. My hematologist has stabled my blood levels enough that I don't require infusion treatment. I do wonder if a new food item I picked up high in micro iron might have been helping. Certainly my thyroid dosage increase has gone well.

Back to the changes in my care, it is frightening since I know SSI review is dependent on my continued treatment efforts. Its true I still have Dystonia but it has become quite slight an occurrence since I focused on lifestyle and diet changes. Only the fasciculations seem to occur now which is not too disabiling. My digestion and back problems on the other hand are what is socially crippling.

The chiropractor has once again reset my hip but the nerve to my right leg and bladder are irritated. The cold I just finished has given me weeks of incontinence. Otherwise its just some burning muscle pain now that the hips seem to have pressure off the nerve column.

I also took a day to go register my sister at the community college. She still has to follow through on completing her fafsa and selecting the exact program plan. I have a inclination however she will stick with the selection I made for her under the arts format to avoid social triggers and keep her in subjects she has confidence it. My age must have been showing too because a professor took me for a substitute and greeted me. Gave me a chuckle!
