Finding the balance between the medical world and the natural health world.


Before I got MS I was very healthy and did not go to the Dr's much, I use essential oils and found home remedies all the time. When that did not help my symptoms of MS I reached out to the medical world, and though it took me a few tries to find a Dr. that was able to help me I am very happy that I went the medical rout and have a name for my health issues now.  though MS is new to me and I have appreciated my Dr's help for some reason along with seeing the doctor and my neurologist I felt like I needed to read the Myer way book/diet (Dr. Myer is a functional medicine  Dr.) and get started on her diet plan which I thought was interesting because I also felt very strongly that I still need to be seeing my neurologist and going with the medication plan the Dr. offered which seems to be counterintuitive to be doing both, but I know God knows what I need and if he is inspiring me do both  I will do both the diet and the meds.
Last time I had my steroid injection to get ride of the symptoms when I very first was diagnosed  with MS I was taking a steroid infusion for five days and saw very slow results and I was ridiculously tired. Now with everything taking so long about getting my daily medication (2 months) I actually had my symptoms start to get worse again. I talked to my neurologist about this and she signed me up to get some more steroids.  I have also started my daily medication just a day ago . I had hopes that the steroids would work and work better, but reality told me that my experience would be similar to last time slow help and really tired. But a few things have changed since last time I took the steroids and the biggest things I changed are 1. I am now taking my daily medication and 2. I am on the Myers Way diet. So it has been two days now that I've been taking my medication and have no negative side effects which I was really worried about, I also had my first day of steroid infusion yesterday and was not at all tired and have already started to feel numbness go away:) . Now I'm not a scientist so I don't know exactly why such a drastic change is happening when I am having the same steroid infusion, but I really believe that it has to do with my inspiration of doing this diet as well as the medication. Like I said I'm only two days in so we'll see how things continue but I've been very pleased that following my inspiration to do a little bit of The medical world and a little bit of natural healing world is blending so well for me, so far I am pleased with the mix.
Through this whole MS trial I have really seen Gods hand in my life showing me that though he is not going to take this trial from me (I have so much to learn from having MS) he loves me and will help me know how to get through my trials if I listen and follow his promptings.  God knows exactly what my body needs he is the perfect physician.
