| | Part 7October 24,1997 THREE WEEKS...
Well it's been 3 weeks... what's changed is, I use the bathroom
frequently now. Frequently to me anyway. Once a week wasn't
good (MSers know this is a standard problem, not having bowel
movements.) ... now I have one every 2 day!
My exercising isn't up to the schedule I want yet, it's only 4
days a week. Finding someone is always hard because of the
pay. I have fliers up at Acupuncture and Massage Schools and
a few Physical Therapy places. Santa Cruz, CA. is full of Health
related businesses, I should be hearing from someone soon.
>From all this ROM, my body is becoming flexible so I can't
say that it's from the treatment or not... I can raise my shoulders
a few inches, which I could not before. What I mean by that
is...you try to touch your ears with your shoulders.
For some that may not sound like much, but for someone
as limited as I, that's a BIG DEAL... Also being able to
pull my shoulder blades closer together. That's a tough one
to explain... use your imagination... ok?...
All of this is going to take sooo much time, improvements
are going to come in inches.(half inches) I was going to
compare it to watching a flower grow from scratch...
but it seems slower than that!!. If that's possible:-)
My next treatment is the 31st of October. I'll be talking
to Dr. Pomeroy on October 27th about starting me on the
methylprednisolone (steroids) too The treatment calls for
both, mitoxantrone and methylprednilone, I should be starting
this treatment October 31st.
Unless he knows something about this that I don't!!!
