Elana here --your go to guinea pig: on a quest to CONQUER my multiple sclerosis with a paleo diet and positivity

Hi there, my name is Elana.  Welcome to my life!  I, like many of you am on a health and happiness quest (Who doesn't want more sunshine and rainbows right?)  Just consider me your go-to cave woman (err Paleo guinea pig) on a quest to cure my Multiple Sclerosis. Exhale. It feels good to say that out loud. It took 15 years after first being sick with MS, but at 35 years old, I'm finally beginning to acknowledge my diagnosis as I channel all of my MS Warrior strength to live as positively as I can. I'm blessed to have an amazing husband, Craig (whom I'll blog about later) who actually bought me the book that inspired this Paleo path: The Wahl’s Protocol, by Dr. Terry Wahl’s. I am by no means saying this is the cure all to chronic illness and while everyone's journey is different, it doesn't hurt to explore your options beyond synthetic drugs.  I’m working with an amazing doctor who is guiding me and I will candidly share my insights during this interesting ride. Disclaimer: This is not the time to start feeling sorry for me.  I've got plenty of rainbows and sunshine to go around!  Don't get me wrong- I too have my difficult MS days (Because MS= More Sh** or Memory Shot), but no one is immune to bad days right?  So my hands and legs are numb since this last relapse- BIG DEAL!  I am not about to let a little numbness stop me.  What I ask of you is to start looking at your own health and happiness triggers. Let's come to the table and all eat raw fruits and veggies together!
