I am developing a very wobbly gait. I always thought it was the muscles that controlled the gate. It seems the nerves on the bottom of my feet are now not able to make the subtle adjustments with messages to the muscles in my legs that would make a smooth gait. Still I can walk. I am getting very pigeon-toed, but I do find keeping the laces in my boots very tight, that I am not as likely to fall.
Maybe we just have to accept we are far more complicated than the way our minds categorize and place things on various lists of priorities. Our minds as children no doubt had a very different way of prioritizing things, like what was under our bed at night. We may not be aware of them, but our autoimmune system may have very precise evaluations and its own conclusions. As with that unruly horse, we don't really know about that. It seems too risky to try to destroy anything, as we don't know the extent of the damage. our goal should be to negotiate and compromise, finding a workable solution.
I took a recipe for corn bread like my grandmother used to bake, and substituted flax seed and brown rice flour. It tasted very good to me. How long that will last I can't know, but I do know I can try some other combination. ( to be continued)
