I always forget what it feels like to walk down the streets when the cold wind is blowing against you.  It’s funny how you almost crave fall weather by the end of the summer, and now it’s here, and neeldess to say I am less than excited about it.  From this point on, this is how I prepare myself to leave the house since I am always always freezing cold:  leggings or stockings, thigh high, thick socks, another pair of socks, boots, jeans, and layers and layers of shirts and sweaters, scarf and gloves. I feel like I did when I was 6 and I got bundled me up to go and play in the snow.  My hands and toes are like little popsicles and my fingers turn BLUE because my circulation stinks (another fun and interesting part of my condition),  so I have to keep extra warm.

On a warmer note, I am smitten with acupuncture.  I go every week.  It has transformed my body.  I walk in there feeling achy and awful and weighed down, and I leave there hungry/wanting to eat and feeling refreshed.  So amazing.  It sticks with me for a few days, so it brings relief.  Ahhhhh.  It has helped so many different things over the several months that I have been going.  Truly amazing.  So, I look forward to a big yummy meal tonight (I am really trying hard to put on some weight)!!!

No results from any of the tests yet.  Waiting is always the worst part.  It’s during the waiting that your mind can really go nutso.  I’ve diagnosed myself with like three different things already today.  I have to train my mind to think of other things and maybe I should stop reading medical books and googling things at 3 in the morning…  could be helpful.
