One day at a time.....

Well today I'm feeling positive I was finally able to run after 16 days babying my knees. It was great to get outside and get some fresh air even though it was a little chilly. I look forward to being able to run outside when the weather isn't to bad. One thing I'm a lot nervous about is, tomorrow I will be starting back on a medication I took for seven years, that quit working four years ago.

I liked it the best out of all the medications I had ever taken. the bad thing is you have to start out slow and work up on it or you can get a bad rash that can kill you, so it will take about 6 to 8 weeks to work up to the right dose. So I'm a little scared for what my emotions will be like over the holidays. The reason I'm switching is because the medication I'm taking now, one of the side effects is kidney stones and we all know I have enough of those! I have been putting off changing meds until my race season was over.

I have been praying to know if I should even try switching, wondering if it would even work again and I have felt really good about it and continue to feel good about it. I have often wondered why it even quit working, if I have to just go back on it again. I learned so much the pasted few years because I really had to rely on the Lord to guide me to what I needed to do to find a new medication. I learned that the Lord needs to be a definite partner in my medical decisions and when I ask for his guidance he will lead me. I found the nutrition and vitamin's that have really helped me so this journey was something I really needed to travel and I wouldn't trade it for anything!

So I'll take one day at a time put it in the Lords hands do what I can eat well take my vitamins and exercise and hopefully I wont be to big of a bipolar basket case the next few weeks. I'll blog and share how I'm doing.
