Hi yall - progress reports?

Post-Polio Syndrome
#1

haven’t been here in a while, doesn’t mean i haven’t thought of yall. i find that the pps comes and goes, and this time it came and stayed and ate dinner and moved in and slept on the couch and invited all its friends to come on over.

hard to get rid of it; nothing to do but wait, finally feeling better.

thank you all for sending hugs and notes. i was here but couldn’t type.

doc said i had diabetes but just barely and am just too overweight, so i have lost 20# by just cutting out all sweets and refined carbs, like pasta, etc. just happen to be the things i love the most, but diabetes is, in my opinion, really worse than pps and the other stuff that ail me. you can die of it and it ain’t pretty…so very motivated. have a long way to go, but easier than i thought…

with love to all,

I have found that this is such a maybe condition. Maybe I’ll have energy today, maybe I’ll have more or less pain. The last time I got on a scale, my doctor referred me to a weight specialist. Short of hypnotism, and I tried that once, I have no idea how he will be able to help me get a grip on my weight. Sweets don’t sway me, and I haven’t had anything fried in years. I’m just a nervous eater, and I get no exercise. Right now I’m going through a fatigue cycle. I can declare, I LOVE MY BED! Even if I don’t sleep, I can rest. Can’t wait to see how I’ll feel in another week. Just keep the faith, we know this too shall pass. Take care, Mattie.
