When bad….
In another few days my time on this amazing protocol will reach twenty one months, that’s only three short of half way to the forty eight that the ABP is supposed to take for true healing to happen. Okay let me clarify that to avoid any misunderstanding, Ann Boroch took that long to go from full blown MS to no symptoms whatsoever, she was also using herself as a guinea pig, it’s not as if the protocol was a documented process at that time as it is for us now. Along this incredible journey that we are all privileged to be taking its not as if we are all in a terrible position then as each day passes we improve just a little bit with no negatives along the way. No, it’s not, yes there are gradual improvements that spur us on but we aren’t perfect, we aren’t going to do this exactly right 100% of the time, we’re only human, we’re all going to have slip ups, sometimes because of our own mistakes and others because it just happens, we are fighting what the world’s medical experts say is an unbeatable enemy, they… the big guns haven’t made the slightest dent in the armour of MS, but us… the sad millions of individuals suffering from this disease and following the ABP are making a difference.
Yesterday instead of resting for a few hours then getting up for an hour or so as usually happens, I stayed up for over two hours…. yay… but sadly getting back to bed involved a collapse that was softened by my sofas, then a thirty minute struggle. Fortunately “el gato” didn’t hurt himself…lol..
It’s now Sunday morning and I’m not feeling any of the negatives from Saturday afternoon, I personally don’t think I did or ate anything wrong, I just think it was too hot, I hadn’t opened a window to let some cool air in as I should have done so it was my mistake. That’s happened before, in fact two, three and four years ago during the hot months I struggled big time, so this year I’ll make sure there’s windows open during the day. Yesterday was a sign, a reminder that this is a horrible disease that is going to take advantage of any slip up we make, we can’t give it any chances to take a firm hold again. For me, yesterday was both a warning and a positive sign, the same problem two, three and four years ago had a much worse effect and took far longer to recover from, so my struggle was short lived and I see that as ….
