Feeling good......continues

Hi everyone,

Hope everyone has been keeping up with their resolutions! Make sure to tell someone your goal-it will increase the odds of making it stick!

Well, I continue to feel better. (Knock on wood) I am still eating well, exercising, and trying to take care of myself by resting when needed, taking vitamins, and not giving up on aspirations (some new ones; trying not to dwell on past ones in case they do not happen). I am also taking the herbs that I received-I mix the powder in protein shakes so, that may be helping me to feel good as well.

No sore throats, fevers, lung pain. I have had minimal to moderate bone pain and I am down to 2 pain pills a day! Yeah! I was taking 3 in the late fall.

In all honesty, I am waiting for the 'shoe to fall' should I say. Meaning, this won't last and I will start to decline....again. (insert sad face). I felt good last fall and then declined-so part of me feels it will occur again. I guess time will tell. The other part of me is angry with myself for giving up on the herbs and not caring about what I ate-because I can tell it does make a difference. Perhaps I was getting sick this past fall and thought it was 'just the Neutropenia' and so gave up.

Well, I am going to try to not do that anymore! I need to think positively! And think that I will continue to feel good. I realize that the neutropenia will always be there-and I will get sick from time to time but I am trying not to dwell on it. I have dreams and aspirations that I want to achieve-and I AM WORTH IT! Ya, I said it :)

Thanks again for reading. Have a great night, day, week!

Good evening,

So, I had my acupuncture appointment today. That went well.
But, I also picked up the herbal remedy that he created to see if it would help my blood. A pharmacist made it. It's a fine powder and I have to mix it with water. It didn't smell bad so I thought it would be fine. It was gross. So, I added a tea bag to make it tolerable. Next time, I will make it with less water and just gulp it down!

I am very tired today and my pain is significant. My temp is down to 99 so that's good. Resting and goign to bed soon.

I'll keep you posted on how the herbs are working.

Take care.
