Consult with Sunil

I must admit that homeopathy is truly an amazing thing.
Many people have not yet heard of it and some have but are skeptical.

Donna first helped me with Shingles when I had no idea what homeopathy was. I then sat with her for a full consult to help with the severe eczema on my hands which has been 95% better for over 4 years.

My meeting with Sunil yesterday was a good one.
Unless you understand the fundamentals of homeopathy it's hard to understand how explaining the way something feels to you specifically or the what the meaning of a word is to you leads to finding a remedy.

Both my consults were very different and they were both great.

Sunil and I chatted for over 2 hours. We started off talking about what was bothering me the most and that led me to talk about the beach, grass, snakes, being in control and dirt. I know it must sound strange but this lead Sunil to find a remedy for me.

It is of the snake family - Coral snake - I have taken my remedy today and about 15 minutes later I felt much more awake then I had all day.

I was awake with Grace all night last night. so naturally I am tired but this is on top of having a cold and being in a relapse.

I'm curious to see where this remedy will take me...I'll fill you in!

As far as the question of the week...No one guessed the right answer! I do not have the proper document at home and I will blog about the answer as soon as I have the document!

A good day...a bad day

Well it's been almost a week since I have admitted to being in a relapse.
I have had good days and bad but the days actually change by the minute and hour!

I've spoken in the past about seeing my Chiropractor for a specific adjustment that is targeted for MS patients. On Tuesday afternoon I went to see Dr. Kale and I kidd you not...within 2 minutes my headache was gone and I wasn't feeling overly dizzy anymore. It was a great feeling to know that something could be done to help me feel better in a situation where I feel completely helpless.

The last 2 days had ups and downs. This relapse I have been tired but the worse has been the headaches and dizziness.

Every night when I go to bed I like to read for a bit to "come down" from the day. Last night
when I laid down my leg went numb...I panicked but it was gone as fast as it came and I was fine today...Thank GOD!

Tomorrow I have a consult with Sunil. He is a homeopath from India. He has been coming to Vancouver over the past few months and helping Canadian Homeopaths rediscover things that they were thought but may need a bit of guidance to find again. This may not be the best way to explain it but "Layman's terms" as they say!

I have been a little bit nervous about meeting with him but the more I think about it and the closer the day comes, the more excited I get. I can honestly say I am giddy about it now!

I'm going to take this as a good sign and let you know how it all went tomorrow!

The day has come

I think the worst part with MS is the not knowing.
The not knowing if tomorrow is going to be a good day. The not knowing if the simple walk in the grocery store will be too much to handle. Even as simple as the heat in the house at night being too high even if it's set low.

I am now in a relapse. Despite not feeling well I am still positive about it because I know it will get better. Could be tomorrow, next week or in 6 weeks but I'll get better!

The difference I notice from a relapse to a cold for example is that I am helpless.
With a cold you can medicate with de-congestion tablets or cough syrup and so on but in this case all I can do is wait.

My symptoms this time round are all over the map but I can still see...with both eyes!

I have been very dizzy for about a week, I have also had a headache. I feel like there is a brick on the back on my neck making my spine very uncomfortable.
My digestion track is not working properly. I'm on heat over load...then I get cold.
I have been having muscle spasms in the shoulder blades as well as my neck area.
My legs have been hurting and I am tired.

This all adds up to not being in the right frame of mind and making me impatient.

I'll keep you posted on how I feel over the next few days!
