Best Medicine For MS
The type of medicine that I inject into my body every night, is Copaxane.  I don't know what to think of that medicine. My hope is that it starves off relapses.  Sense I haven't seen many relapses.  I have to believe it is working.  I've discussed before that a good defense from MS was probably a multifaceted offense.  So, the medical protection from MS is only one of my strategies.

Last year my defense was my diet and it's seen many changes.  In January last year I quickly become a vegetarian.  It was easy to eat all fruits and vegetables.   It was delicious.  I don't think I had a complaint with soy BLTs, nachos made out of cashews and macaroni and cheese made out of nutritional yeast.  Some of those meals are some of the best tasting meals  I have ever eaten.  These experiences proved to me that knowing how to cook or follow a recipe were very important.

Shortly after that, in June I switched to a Paleo type of eating.  I've looked at food as a carbo, protein or fat fuel.  If something wasn't only made out of one of this I try not to  eat it.  Recently I have tried to explain this philosophy to my girlfriend.  She wants to be able to prepare me food that makes me happy.  I try to tell her food made by her is special and it matters that she made it.  Her and I have found that the Terry Wahls program for eating was simple to follow.  Her program is 3 cups of green, 3 cubs of color, 3 cups of sulfur and repeat it every day. I've seen her program morf  with that of a paleo way of eating and the science behind it seems solid.  But all good offenses should be made current, as necessary.

My other defense Chia, Chiropractic, Exercise,  and Mediation continue to grow into my life.   I'm quickly learning that enjoying a moment is as general as I want it to be.  The details of this life have made me tired and I don't need the weight of something like MS talked about each day.  I think part of recovery from something, is to not think about it for a few days, months, years.  I think it best described as take care of yourself.

Which brings me to my favorite med cine.  It's magical, free, light, good, uplifting, hopeful, colorful, bright, intellectual, sporty, sexy, communicative, hungry, thirsty, smiley,  daring, erotic and blind.  It's something that can't be measured or weighed and hope is slow or fast.  It is being in love with a sexy female.  For some reason the feeling of love makes you forget being sick.  It's probably as simple of not having enough time in this life.   It makes you realize amazing things can happen.  Things that aren't studied in medical school.

I still take me medicine for now, but I see that love is part of the solution of life.
