Rebuilding My Body

In mid-December, as I went for my last brain/MS treatment to New Jersey, I was really excited.

In June, Dr. Baeck told me that I needed to do six months of acupuncture brain treatments three times a week and take the prescribe herbal formulas daily. So I did so for 6 months.

When I had my 6th treatment with Dr. Baeck, he did said that I was lot better, meaning the brain and body are communicating smoothly, but my nervous system  is weak from 28 years living with MS, as are other parts of my body.

So, he told me what to do for another 6 months to strengthen what is weak.

I did not expect to hear this. And, it took a few days to see it as a positive invitation to heal rather then a seemingly never-ending, no fruit, no starches imprisoned life.

Rejoicing? Not yet. Doing what I need to do? Yes.

From the herbal supplements and the points in the body where I need to burn moxa daily and increase the size of the moxa, I started to bleed even though it was not my date for another period. Dr. Nabors explained that all of what I am doing is creating a lot of heat in the system and this is simply a reaction.

Ok. I am going onto the third week and am still bleeding. If this is what menopause is like, I am not ready!

The bleeding has finally stopped. The daily burning has become a half hour meditation and I FEEL an unfamiliar warmth in my body. People, lovers in particualar, usually noted, “Your ass is so cold.” So were my legs and feet.

Yes, this is what MS-asses feel like, MS legs and feet.

No more.

Today, Ted changed the temperature in the house for daytime from 73 degrees to 70, night 70 to 68. More normal you might say, but I FEEL so:)
