the laptop has to go.. we have pics we take and download.. and yes.. grandma wants them asap.. so we mail them at night to the family so they get to share in the vacations.. it's also really nice for the realitives to get them and she loves hearing how we are doing..Kind of makes her feel like shes on the trip with us. It also gives all of us a chance to sit around and talk about our day, what we did, how we felt and have a good laugh at some of the photos we come up with.

OK, OK, you can take your laptop! Ha, ha! It sounds like you are going to have a wonderful trip ... make sure you post some pictures for us!!! Deanna

Have a great time Carla See you when you get back. PS any news on the tests for your legs yet? Dont' forget to keep us posted

Not yet.. I have doubled my vitamin b.. taking methaltrexate steals vitamin b and it seems some of my symptoms could be related to vitamin b problems even though my labs were ok in Jan. I heard that folic acid can make a bad vit. b count and since I take that for the methaltraxate i think it could be the problem.. I will be seeing the nerologist soon I hope. At least it's not any worse.. Thanks for asking =-).

Well today has been slightly better than others - I've only eaten half the crap I have been putting away lately No seriously, it has been better, but could still be alot better. But at least I'm getting it under control in some measure. Still haven't made the protein balls - I've got all the ingredients that i went out and bought, but haven't got around to making them Once I do I will have a healthy something to snack on. I've only got 9 pounds til I'm normal bmi and not overweight....this is very furstrating, but I only have myself to take to task.

so if u got the stuff get up and go make your protein balls.. they really are pretty good.. you will be surprised. you are doing so great... it will come... Just have faith in yourself.. and take control... u can do it.. have a great week girl.
