Glad to hear you are doing better. I don't think you should look at the difference being the medication in being a bad thing. Look at it this way, a diabetic can change their diet and lfestyle, but it will still not replace the fact that they have to take insulin. It is a fact of life. We all need to better recognize that there are physical aspects(even though we don't see them) to our diease that can only be taken care of by medication. This is not to say that we don't have things to work on. I just think we should give ourselves a break when it comes to medication. It seems like alot of people downplay their progress, because it is treated to the medication they are taking or feel it is necessary to be "recovered" by being off of it. Let me ask you this, if you knew someone with heart diease and they changed their lifestyle, but weren't taking their medication and were having problems. What would you think of them? Anyways, keep up the GREAT work! I know sometimes I have to remind myself too, that the tortise won the race and not the hare. As long as we keep plodding forward, that is what counts! You are in my prayers.
