All I Want for Christmas is My Two Good Feet


I’m hoping it’s not the green tea because it’s supposed to be a natural iron chelator that can pass through the blood-brain barrier. I was drinking about 5 cups of tea a day, but my naturopath said I should cut it down to 3 cups, as that much caffeine could contribute to my spasticity. Maybe I’ll need to take pills instead?

So my feet have been bothering me lately. It’s gotten to the point that I only have about 3 or 4 pairs of shoes I really feel comfortable walking in. This upsets me no end, because I have this really comfy pair of chocolate brown UGGS that would be perfect this time of year, but I can only wear them on my ‘good’ feet days because…well, they’re a bit ‘schleppy’ to walk in at the best of times, and I certainly don’t want to be tripping all over the place…I do that enough already! LOL

I was secretly hoping the procedure would improve the numbness so that I could wear heels…which made me feel a bit guilty because it’s a rather vain wish to have. I’ve decided heels may be a lost cause, so I’ve transferred my love of shoes to…purses! I was at Macy’s the other day and oh, did they ever have some some great deals on purses!

But I digress! So my legs haven’t been the best…but here’s the thing…take out the legs not being up to snuff and I feel great! Legs aside…I have a general sense of wellness?! Not sure if it’s because I’m coming to terms with my MS symptoms or if the things I’ve been doing to help myself are just coming together to create this sense of wellness? Whatever the reason, I’m not going to dwell on the why’s…I’m just going to enjoy the feeling and hope it continues.

And on that note…I’d like to wish everyone a very, merry Christmas and most of all, a Happy and Healthy New Year.
