I do not remember exactly when I started, but it was sometime in the fall. I do not remember if it was before or during the flare-up I had in Oct. 2018, but sometime around there I started seriously cutting sugar. I had “toyed” with Trim Healthy Mama way of life for a few years, but just never could totally do it. Some parts of it I could do, others were a little more difficult. That part for some reason is sketchy for my memory. I don’t know if it’s because of all the stress from the year, the brain fog I had during that flare, or a combination of both, but I cannot remember a lot of details from then.
I do know mostly how I felt. I felt the “MS Hug” for the first time. It was weird. It felt like someone put a rubberband around my chest. It wasn’t intolerable, but it was annoying. I have had it around my hands and feet a time or two as well.
