Grateful…
The summer of 2018 will be remembered as a scorcher, a summer only us oldies will remember as hotter than the doozie of ’76’…. which in all honesty was the best as in not as long or humid, but for some, this summer won’t be fondly remembered. If, like me you have Multiple Sclerosis then the unrelenting heat and humidity isn’t just uncomfortable or makes you spray deodorant on every couple of hours, no, it’s much more than that, it personally makes me feel as though every ounce of strength has been sucked out of my body, rendering my arms and legs as bags of skin hanging off my body.
I can honestly say that if this heatwave had been in 2017 before I started the Ann Boroch Protocol then I really don’t think I’d have survived, and No, that’s not an exaggeration….
However, when I take stock of my own personal situation, I realise just how lucky I am, I’ve been feeling really good for the first four or five hours until it hits me like a lightning bolt and the transition happens. Fortunately I’ve had my morning drinks which is about 3 litres by then also lunch and supplements so going to my bed for a few hours is my best course of action, no biggie…
There are many others that are in a much harder situation to deal with, their MS has a greater control over their body and they’re affected much worse than I am, that could be for a variety of reasons such as newer to the protocol, not on the protocol, the drugs they’ve used in the past, or a hundred other things, so like I said, I’m grateful to be where I am in the great scheme of things.
Looking at the big picture, which is the only way… this heatwave and humidity won’t last forever……. it’s England… so because I’m just about to close out my eleventh month and the ABP is doing what it does, I’m a step closer to genuine health and happy…..
