Basically, no exercise/heavy lifting is the main piece of advice. She routinely moniters my blood, i.e. monthly. It's so bizarre but she can literally see how stressed out I am by my blood counts--white/red blood cells. She thinks the muscle wasting is related to my perpetually low sodium levels. She gave me a royal lecture for not using salt for years and years. This medical condition is not due to protein deficiency in the least. My anti-convulsants just deplete my sodium levels and cause vitamin/mineral depletion/deficiencies really easily. I find, though, that by following an alkalizing diet focussed on veggies and fruits I am finally free and clear of those nutritional deficiencies! My body, with IBS, just cannot handle the raw as it formerly could. I know--the veggies and fruits part sounds scary, but the ones I consume the most of are sf. My body just rejects vitamin pills and I go for B-12 shots periodically.
I do get "bummed" out and in foul moods where I just don't talk for a few weeks. Sometimes, I forget how to behave like a civilized woman, Barbarian that I am inside of my house!
I'm a worry-wart, too! People who think too much, curse us and bless us. Thanks for inquiring. My body is just warped! I think my brain just melted one day and turned me into a physical marshmellow. I'd better start doing yoga again, Gumby-woman that I am!!! Mostly I've been doing meditation and hypno. lately.
