Sunshine and Unicorns

Today is more than just a good day; the weather has been kind, permitting me to go about outside in the (semi) warm air and sunshine.  Plus, I have more energy than I've had in a long time. It is a great day. 

I picked up my ankle-foot orthotics yesterday.  I am still a little uncomfortable with them, but I know that is just until I get used to them.  They have been very helpful.  I had them on for about two hours today while I went grocery shopping and I was amazed at how much of a difference they make.

There was more that I wanted to share, but I am tired, so it is off to Napland.

Monday's update

As always,  my appointment with Dr. Boughaba had an anxiety relieving effect.  I consiuder myself very fortunate to have found her.  We talked about finding a new neurologist in Statesboro and she is willing to help with the search.  That was a big relief because I hadn't been able to find any neurologists there that specialized in CIDP like she does.

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy is not a progressive illness, it is an intermittent condition.    She was concerned that I might be having a flare up when I told her about feeling more fatigued lately and off balance more.  She proposed extra IVIg treatments for now.
