Wahls

You could probably say that I didn't try hard enough.

I was leaning into this diet.  I am not able to make food for myself, or even feed myself half of the time these days.  I am not able to use the NMES machine myself... my partner does this for me, but there is not much point in it for this MS body.  (The physical therapist who made this machine available to me told me just that in the beginning, but I was determined to try this).

It takes up valuable time.  I feel like it is valuable to move the muscles for a few minutes but .. I am already paraplegic practically, so it is probably not worth it).

I am still eating meat (chicken) though I would rather not.  I am taking "desiccated liver," my idea as a compromise… since my partner does not want to cook this, and like most Americans, (and vegetarians) I do *Not* want to eat organ meat.  It isn't going to happen. Eating the standard muscle meat that I, and most Americans, have grown up on, grosses me out to chew on, enough already.  Dr. Wahls does not recommend a vegetarian diet.  I just cannot stick to this diet.  I want *sugar* ... I want MorningStar bacon.

The protocol designed by Dr. Wahls worked for her.

Dr. Wahls was not confined to a wheelchair... not at all, and not for years (like I have been).  She was in *Very* good shape.  She did not get out of bed at 10am like I do (my partner has a bad back and cannot get me up early, and going through the range of motion exercises that he does with me in the morning before he gets me out of bed (I am very grateful for this!) takes long enough).  

She was able to make herself food.  

She had chemotherapy.

It feels like suicide to not go full force Wahs.  And maybe it is still possible to get 9 cups of veggies per day.  That will limit my information.

But I can't stop eating rice, thin crust pizza (light cheese) or give up sweets completely. I am progressing, losing function every single day.  If I weren't taking Aubagio, I'd be drinking chablis ...
