It Ain't Easy, but so far so good

So I'm actually feeling better! We're working on my thyroid, my intestines, the fatigue, the "chemo brain" (which I think is actually brain stress related to hormone malfunctions in the body) and my overall hormonal problems. I'm realizing how delicate the balance of the body's inner-workings are. Getting back that balance has been harder than it sounds.

One of my main problems causing many imbalances is food allergies. I had been eating things that didn't make me vomit and my body was developing allergies because I was eating the same thing all the time. I had to avoid eating those foods to which I had grown so accustomed. It was hard to adjust, but I managed to tough it out long enough to "detox" (for lack of a better word). The less I ate those foods, the better I felt. Even better, it's not a permanent change. I can eventually introduce the foods back into my diet. To continue feeling better, I have to limit each food to three times a week. I can actually control the allergies. It's nice to have some control back.

In other news....

I had the port in my chest removed last week - I guess I won't be needing THAT! And guess who's going back to school! I've signed up for classes - I start January 15th and plan to sit for the July 08 NY Bar Exam.
