Hello, here I am once again. My life has been a little challenging; make that a lot challenging. I have this gingival issue that my dentist can't figure out; neither could my primary care doctor.

So, for months I've been eating soft foods; odwalla protein smoothies, cottage cheese with peanut butter, my homemade bread ripped into tiny bits, dissolved in milk, then mixing in Greek yogurt and nut butter. I also rely on some Breyers delights ice cream, which contains a fair amount of protein and fiber, without a huge amount of sugar. sigh. I've made soups with lots of vegetables cut small, and any meat that I consume must be cut into tiny pieces or my gums bleed, especially when I floss and brush. I use Paroex mouthwash twice a day.

I lost a fair amount of weight, then discovered that I could eat some of the cookies I baked for the holidays, and in fits of feeling sorry for myself, I eat too much chocolate that doesn't irritate my mouth too much

Dark chocolate irritates my gums, but I discovered some milk & semisweet chocolate that I can tolerate.

I contacted my neurologist regarding the issue, and he suggested that it must be nutritional deficiency. He told my to take vitamin c and niacin every morning. this morning was my first niacin; it causes a yucky flushing. Getting overheated aggravates my MS, and I needed to practice my Zumba Gold choreography; I felt totally wiped out from the heat, but remained clear-headed enough to get my ice filled neck wrap and finish today's practice.

I teach on Monday, YIKES. I don't teach often, so I'm a bit nervous. The ladies I teach are really wonderful, so I'm sure I'll do well enough. I'll take them freshly baked cookies, too.

Thanks for reading this. Please send good thoughts my way Monday at 10 am pacific time.
