New Years -- so far

We had probably THE best time at a NYE party since the days at Davenport.  I really miss those days for some reason, but the Haven friends are really getting up there with our McAuliffians.  Its not the same by far, but still a good time at the bar.

I have been feeling really good lately, and my Avonex seems to be doing some good. I am giving myself the shots, and as freaky as it is to do that, all I can say it is making a difference. Working out again is the BIG goal, and I was waiting until yesterday at the neurologist to get confirmation that it is okay to exercise.  The big thing is not to get to hot.  I know this is a problem with me, but I can tone things down enough so that I do not get to overheated as it exerbates symptoms.  I am thinking that inside working out in AC is the trick.  I would LOVE to get a treadmill for the house again, but one never knows.  $$ is a huge factor.  THe fact that I got clearance to exercise again, excites me to no end.  I found a 24 gym not to far away from us that has SPINNING classes; and pilates.   That is better than the Anytime Fitness in town, just for the use of the spinning bikes.

THe doc did not think much of the Ampyra as I walk to well for it to make a difference, plus the side effects are not to great.  He also did not think much of the Swank Diet, thinking what I have been doing on my own -- limiting alcohol and stuff is good enough.  I will look at the Best Bet Diet (I think that is what it is called) for diffeences.  He did emphasize to take some good Vitamin D (in milk) and since I am avoiding sun for what I am missing.

I am very excited to see my JOR and :LCAR peeps this week.  Especially after being given news that I can "officially" start running and exercising again.  Just have to remember to keep it nice and easy in the beginning
