There is always HOPE!!

Posted on January 16th, 2010 in Living with Crohn's Disease by tonia moore

Well I’m just sitting here at home relaxing. I’ve been to the gym twice this week which was the first in about 2 weeks. Since around Christmas I’ve been dealing with symptoms from a slight flare up of my Crohn’s Disease some days are better than others so it’s touch and go. I went to the doctor on Jan. 5th and he said my crohn’s is active again and he recommends a more aggressive treatment of drugs. We’ll see how I feel by Jan. 21st when I see my regular after her return from vacation (other doctor I saw was my doctors colleague in the office). I’m not too excited about having to go on the treatment he is recommending which is infusion or injection treatment. The drugs can be a plus and a minus. Ideally the vitamins I am taking now will help put my body and cells back into balance that will take care of the underlying issues of Crohn’s Disease. I keep my mind hopeful and positive in beating this and not being on long term medication treatment. That is my ultimate goal anyway. The medication I’m on has me really fatigued so my energy levels suck big time. Next week I believe I’ll be feeling much better to get back on my training regimen again so I continue my journey of getting back in shape and my health back on track. Just fighting through my low energy levels is the major task for me. I will keep you all posted of my status.

I always am grateful for everyone’s support in my journey & battle with my disease. You feed my motivation to keep going and never give up. I believe there is always HOPE!!

Best wishes, have a great weekend.

Contamination Revelation…

Posted on January 1st, 2010 in Open Discussion by tonia moore

TM: Yes I just had a Revelation about Contamination….I found this information below - something that has not really come across my brain till just now.

Universal Waste

Batteries, light bulbs, electronic devices and items containing mercury: together, these things are known as Universal Waste. By California law, these items may not be placed in the regular trash. That’s because chemicals from Universal Waste can eventually find their way into the environment, contaminating our air, our water, and even the food we eat. EXAMPLES OF UNIVERSAL WASTE

TM: See that?? It said our WATER, and even the FOOD we eat…scary thought. No wonder people get sick and have health issues. It’s bad enough & not a secret that our environment & air is contaminated. But this is another issue to be concerned about and we must apply thoughtful consideration to this matter and act responsibly to help out as much as we can. It all starts with each of us as an individual. Participate in safe universal waste disposal for a healthier environment…at least as much as possible. Every little bit counts.
