Health Update
Well, it is now three weeks since the first sign of whatever it is I have. Currently, I have improved significantly but the doctors still can’t name the issue nor have a solution.
So, my left ankle - the swelling has gone down to where I can wear a sock and sneakers (same as the right) but where the swelling has gone down the area feels hard and solid and sore to touch. Movement is a little stiff and the top of the ankle is slightly red. It still feels like there is pressure there. Left knee aches slightly and I walk with a slight limp with the area of my leg from the knee to the ankle tight and a little tender.
My right ankle feels much better, with no swelling and some limitation of movement and a slight ache.
Right hand as of today feels like I have arthritis - the index finger and middle finger are sore to bend. A panadeine helps the pain stay away for most of the day and I must admit that I had two this morning and since they ahve worn off the pain in not as bad as it was when I awoke.
I had more tests on Wednesday for Gout and Inflammation but the doctor was away until Monday to tell me the results! Ahhh! If there is no improvement by Monday I am going to demand an ultrasound or x-ray on the ankles to have a look!
Please continue to pray for me as it is getting depressing and I have moments of absolute grief that this is still ongoing and painful. It does help me understand what other people may go through for other illnesses. Shalom!

I was going to the local shopping centre the other day and there were these folks standing outside the doors to the shopping centre handing out fliers and leaflets that were very bold in their stark black & white with blood red lettering helping make their point. Curious, I was given a flier as the guy who handed it to me gave me his spiel that he had probably told many, many times that day. But it was what he had to say that caught my interest and I want to share with you now.
Here’s what they had to say….. (more…)

A very good mate of mine recently sent me to a new website he had come across while researching nutrition for his family. They have had to make some major adjustments in their eating to accommodate allergies - but they feel they are better off for it, health wise.
Anyway, the site is called FOODMATTERS and is basically set up to sell and promote the film, Food Matters by two nutritionists turned filmmakers, James Colquhoun and Laurentine ten Bosch. They ask if we are sick and tired of the confusion surrounding food and want to feel good and prevent or reverse illness and disease? I answered yes, and I am sure many folk would too.
Here’s the films trailer. The website has a better quality version, as well as having the ability to screen the video over the web, or order a DVD.
