kickin' negativity to the curb

yepperz, i've hit that point of doin' my best to get rid of it.  not jest banish it to a corner to come and taunt.

rejuvenated by an actress, her battle with celiac disease.  the positive outlook she projects so well has inspired me to quit wallowin' and get back to bein' busy gettin' well again.

spent hours combin' the web in search of new answers, old answers i've not come across in the past 5 years and tryin' to get 'em compiled in my head.  a difficult, yet entirely doable thing.  one jest has to set their mind to it, block out the negativity, not be daunted by the unknown & folks who've not a clue.

do one's best to help educate our backwards society into the realization that it's a real disease, with serious health consequences.  some debilitatin', some jest pesky annoyances.  most to be overcome with the proper treatment and care.

tomorrow will be a phone call to my doc, this time demandin' a blood test to check all my vitamin and mineral levels.  why?  coz it's important.  folks with celiac disease walk a tight rope on the nutrition end.  i'm confident that somethin' is askew, yet i've not pin-pointed it on my own.   i need numbers in order to construct a better game plan to speed this last bout's last leg.  if she won't, i'll have to find someone who will. it's jest that important.

i awoke this mornin' with the numbness from the bottoms of my feet all the way to the middle of my nose.  muscle spasms throughout the head.  vision somewhat compromised and an odd tic of "snarlin".  which is slightly uncomfortable, but mostly jest annoyin'.  the "numb" feelin' is what i'd call "stayed in the water too long".  ya know, that odd wrinkly finger & feet thing?  yet it's compromisin' about 90% of the body.  everythin' feels rough, painful to the touch.  BUT,  my walkin' coordination has greatly improved since sunday.  i count this as a positive thing :)

so it begins...
