My Breakfast used to include Oatmeal with Blueberries but NOW I make Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies Instead
I decided to change my Oatmeal with Blueberries breakfast with Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies instead... Blueberry Cocktail for my Blueberry consumption and I will have 2 Cookies with Apple Sauce nearby...
Reason Blueberries I need small to medium sized firm blueberries and I only would receive 1/3 of a container of these sized blueberries... the rest were either too soft or squizzy (gave those to the birds) or too big where the skin would stick to the sides of my teeth and it would take forever to remove them...
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups flour
3 cups large rolled oats
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup butter
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 eggs
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/4 cup chocolate chips
1. In a medium sized bowl whisk together flour, rolled oats, salt and baking soda.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add the 2 eggs and vanilla stirred together in a measuring cup to mix them up and combine thoroughly with the butter and sugars...
3. Add the flour mixture to the sweetened butter. Mix only enough to incorporate flour. Do not over mix... Fold in the chocolate chips.
4. Chill the dough thoroughly... about an hour or two... Form the cookies medium sized by making a small handful of dough and place it on the prepared cookie sheet two inches apart.
5. Preheat the oven to 350Farenheit. Lightly spray one cookie sheet with spray oil or line with parchment paper.
6. Bake until light brown around the edges. about 8 minutes I do... but I make medium sized cookies... and my oven is fast baking...
REMEMBER TO CHILL THE DOUGH THOROUGHLY FOR 1 HOUR OR TWO HOURS BEFORE BAKING THEM...
Enjoy... Bon Appetit!

Hi Abby - no I have not been diagnosed as my bloodwork took 4 weeks to arrive and they were negative... so now I am going to see a Neurologist and her team to check me out the last week of November 2024 - maybe I will know by Christmas, they will test my muscles and how they take instructions from me and others... MRI is tomorrow...
LuckyLizI also learned how to eat Black Forest Cake with chocolate pudding added to it...
I had that for dessert for my 24th Wedding Anniversary middle of August this year and I made up spaghettini and meatballs...
I cut the spaghettini into small pieces and the meatballs cut up into small pieces covered with spaghetti sauce in a separate bowl...
I was able to eat that to celebrate... YAY 😀
And since I can eat my RestoraFibre Gummies 2 after each meal, I found that I can also eat Twizzlers Cherry Nibs... 4 or 5 at a time chewing carefully and slowly... with Apple Sauce nearby...
And I was at a tea party recently and I was able to eat Dare Cinnamon Danish cookies... nibbling carefully and slowly...
I also take a warm bath and shower each morning... to clear up my nasal passages and throat...
Then I use All Natural Nasol - Nasal Spray with Capsaicin for Sinus, Allergies and Headaches... Strong Peppery Spray and my nose runs and I drool once I spray it in my nose... then I use Q-tips to clear my sinuses... and it clears my nose up for me... I use this a few times a day...
Vick's Steam Inhaler with 4 Eucalyptus Drops... Breathe in the Steam for about 10-15 minutes when I need to clear my sinuses...
I also had bad allergies in the Spring, Summer and Fall of 2023...
Found out it was the Dove Soap I had in my 2 bathrooms that was causing my allergies to react... and I am now sensitive to Perfumes and Air Fresheners although I can handle Febreze Serene Vanilla Summer Air Mist...
I also am sensitive to Smoke, Gasoline, Strong Spices...
And I am allergic to Shellfish, Pollen, Grass, Trees, Dust and Bee Stings...
I carry my Epi-Pen with me all the time in case I get stung by a Bee... I asked my pharmacist if I could use it with my possible MG diagnosis and he said yes I could and I should carry it with me always...
So last year I wore 2 masks when outside... one cloth one and a black one on top to lessen my exposure to Grass being cut outside and Pollen blowing around in the air...
I also think that using Antihistamines for a couple of days a week may have stirred up my MG as I was down in Belize on vacation January 2024 until late March 2024 and at the end of March 2024 was when my MG started to really flare up on me...
And I also suffer from Dry Eye Syndrome... So I found Bausch & Lomb Liposic Gel for Dry Eye Syndrome as recommended by Dr. Dean E. Burns President and CEO of Ocumetics - he said in a video he was on that Dry Eyes for Allergy Sufferers need a viscous gel and that is what Bausch & Lomb Liposic Gel has in it... I lie down and put one gel drop in one eye and then the other eye and I close my eyes for a minute and wipe them with my clean fingers and then a Kleenex...
So hope some of these words are helpful to other people...

Hi there, thanks so much for sharing these tips with our community. Do you have MG? If so, when were you diagnosed? Best, Abby (Team Member).
