No one can stop it...The Blog *gasp* *swoon*

Yes, I am in high spirits today. No Tonic clonics since the 10th *and the crowd goes wild!!* Few auras here and there, and a few myclonics. I had a really long complex partial *about 9 minutes* in the movie theater friday night. We watched that new movie Avatar *spoiler alert!* and it has a part where the Jake Sully links with his avatar and they go through this swirling, flashing coloourful tube thing. thats what triggered it. Also gave me a major headache as everything is like black light glow style at "night" on the planet. So its hard to concerntrate when one light goes off and another flicks on. *spoiler ended*

I have started that gluten free diet this weekend, and I can honestly say, in the 2 and a half days, I already have more energy. Slept like a rock last night too. Melatonin and a non-upset tummy make Rae a happy dreamer.

Nothing else to report really. Got a call from my bridal shop saying my wedding dress is in, then found my daddy/daughter dance song. *dance with me daughter by john mcdermott*

Little stiff in the back, right between my shoulders. Too creeped out by chiropracters now to go back to one. they claim they can completely reverse all epilepsy. that it is 100% curable. You think that if that were true, then I wouldn't have Seizures, and nobody else would either, as we all would have went to the chiropracter for "miracle crack" *tee hee, joke*

well only 3 more days until it is officially 2 weeks with no tonic clonics.

That's terrific Rae. All these good reports about the gluten-free diet makes me wonder if I should try it (even though my seizures are under control with meds). We'll be having a semi-gluten-free Christmas because my brother has a recently-diagnosed gluten allergy, so I'll see how that goes.

Anyway, I've got my fingers-crossed that you're t-c free for good!

I won't question what a semi-gluten-free Christmas is.

Wonderful news Rae.
Attitude matters too. You go girl!

Thanks robin! I couldn't have done the diet without your encouragement. It isn't honestly that hard to follow and it actually tastes better than what I normally cook. It tastes home made and comforting as opposed to greasy, heavy, salty crap.
You can taste exactly what you put in your mouth so the layers are pretty rounded

The curry stir fry we tried on Friday night and it was great.

Its actually really easy as I thought I was a picky eater. I like things spicy and flavorful. I thought this would be bland and boring and taste like "cardboard and wood chips"

Merry Christmas.
