Improvement?

I've noticed in the last couple of weeks that I'm not quite as dippy and my memory seems a little better!  I'm extremely optimistic about the Curcumin.  I've stopped all the other supplements and only taking the Curcumin that along with the Neurontin for itching.  I just couldn't take 27 pills a day - it was too much!  I felt like I rattled when I walked plus the supplements would make my tummy feel not so good.  But...I'm sticking with the Curcumin until the MRI in September!  I asked Richard the other day if he thought my memory seemed better and he said that yes, I didn't seem as dippy as earlier this year.  Woot!!!  It's not just me that is noticing the changes!  I've been able to remember things like reminding Richard to get ice, invoice customers, and my sister's anniversary.  I am still dealing with the itchies, but that's okay because I can pop the Neurontin and if it's really bad, a couple of Benydril.  I really hope and pray that the lesions are fading and I'm not getting new dings on my brain.  What a thing for the doctor to see based on my previous MRI and the fact that she knew nothing about Curcumin before I took her the information.  Heck, she might take my improved results and pass them on to MS experts!  If anyone is actually reading this blog, please say prayers for my brain and for this to work!

Icky Pills

I've been religiously taking all of these supplements since my last doctor's visit....but I have to tell you....I AM SOOOOOO TIRED OF POPPIN' THESE NASTY TASTIN' PILLS EVERY SINGLE DAY ~ TWICE DAILY!!!!!!  Can't these companies who manufacture these natural pills make the gelatin capsules taste better or put flavoring in the gelatin or something so people can't taste the nasty stuff inside?!?!?!  I am horrible at taking daily medication, but I will show my doctor an improvement in September even if it means I'm going to have neon yellow pee forever and gag every time a pill goes in my mouth!

I just went back and looked at my last entry - it's only been like 14 days that I've been taking the herbs/minerals.  How on earth am I going to continue on this path when I'm already frustrated?!?!?

On a separate note, the Neurontin seems to be working, although I might need to get the dosage changed a little bit.  I didn't realize how well it worked until the night I didn't take it and kept Richard awake and scratched like crazy. 

Oh the things you'll read about on my blog!  :-)
