Multiplicity1's Journal, 17 Sep 10

I was awful tonight. I ate half of a Boomin Onion at Outback Syeakhouse tonight. What I really wanted to eat was chocolate Ding Dongs and all the chips I could eat at Chilis. I hope I don't get terrible cravings now. I am going to eat cottage cheese without the strawberries for dinner since I ate all those carbs at Outback. I weigh in 2 days too. I think I will flush water and try to eat 20 carbs a day for the next two days to try to undo some of the damage I did tonight. I also ate too many sunflower seeds today.
There is no good reason to eat. My excuse was that the neurologist had no idea what was wrong with my husband today and I was totally frustrated about it. The good news was that his evoked potential and EEG were normal so the neurologist said he didn't think he has MS. He did a blood test - I don't know why although he mentioned something about mysthenia gravis. He also gave my husband a prescription that will help him metabolize B12.
I am very relieved that it seems like he doesn't have MS but it is very frustrating that no one can figure out what is wrong. I feel like he is a patient on Mystery Diagnosis. I don't know how we can find out what is wrong with him. He goes back to his family doctor I think on the 29th.
I didn't do any exercises today. I will try to do the 4 Jillian Michael's circuits tomorrow.
My foot is kind of hurting tonight. I should have worn my boot and used the crutches today but I didn't want to mess with them at the neurologist so I walked in there normally. Now I'm paying for it.
My house is a mess but with my foot messed up I probably shouldn't be up and about too much. I am doing OK with my spiritual disciplines but I still need to pray every morning and evening. I had to cancel my confession appt. because I didn't want to hobble in there on crutches but I'll need to remake it at some point.
I am going to set my alarm tomorrow so I get up earlier and get more done tomorrow. I have been sleeping in too much lately.
I am going to go try to catch up on my buddies journals now.

Mmmmm bloomin' onion!! I love those things! And Ding Dongs, and chips, mmmmmm.....so good! I could eat a box of Ding Dongs all by my lonesome!! I am so glad that your hubby doesn't have MS. That is good news. Hopefully they will figure out what is going on soon!! You should have worn your boot, regardless of the Dr appt. It will ever heal if you keep walking on it. As for the exercise, I wouldn't try to do too much, until the foot heals! As for the sleeping, I suspect that it is because you are a bit depressed due to losing Shadow.

We ALL eat something we shouldn't from time to time. But that's life and life goes on...we just pick ourselves up and start fresh. Can't let a bit of FOOD defeat us :) I'm with ctlss...I could eat an entire BOX of Ding Dongs.... I'm blaming Klannoye for EVER bringing up Ding Dongs in the first place.... Besides, it's high time I gave her a hard time... ========================================SO glad your husband does NOT have MS. There are a lot of auto-immune diseases and most of them seem to be a diagnosis of elimination. Unfortunately. BUT...at least one of the most difficult ones has been eliminated, so that should be cause for celebration. Good luck to you both... And keep the boot on as much as possible until you know what you're dealing with.

Yes you need to rest your foot but if you have crutches & a boot you're supposed to be wearing, then you really need to use them when you're on your foot!!! I know you don't want to be in the recovery stage forever or want to make your foot worse so you can get back to some normality in life. Glad to hear they don't think it's MS. Perhaps he needs to see another specialist for a 2nd opinion or perspective that may lead to testing in another direction. I really hope it's nothing serious. And one not so great food choice doesn't mean it has to lead to another. I think you will be fine. Try to get some rest. I know how the sleep thing goes. Today I'm giving myself a lazy, napping day b/c during the week I get very little sleep. I hope you can relax a bit for the rest of your weekend = )
