+ | Tue Jun 9th, 2009 My Anorexia is still here and now the Anorexia Nervosa stuff with the OCD issues is rearing it's ugly head, too. upping Benicar as of right now. It hit me tonight what was going on when a friend told me that I needed to eat and I argued them down. Sigh. Just like the old days. Argue and then distract them. It took me several days to realize I was back with the OCD stuff. | ||

+ | Tue Jun 7th, 2011 After 7 years of serious illness I am seeing huge improvements. ... Tumors in my feet - shrinking and pain is gone. Breathing - easier and better. Swollen rib cage - gone. Headaches - gone. Tendons - FINALLY some better - not great - but better. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Vomiting - almost gone- Now down to vomiting once or twice a week. Anemia - gone. White count back in normal range. Reflux - better. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I was having to sleep really elevated to keep the stomach acid from going into my lungs. I can sleep with the bed elevation lower now. Sleep is improved. No longer on any sleep meds…except when I'm worried. .... I'm not completely well but I am getting there. I know I have more years in recovery but I can do it | ||
+ | |||
+ | So that is it. I am starting to feel normal again. I even have less of the nerve issues in my hands now. I didn't think things like that would ever go back to normal. But I can feel them normalizing. The word for me is beginning to be…NORMAL. | ||
