So most of you know I got sick almost five years ago. I struggled for over 4 years and my existence
became quite bleak. The original default
diagnosis was Fibromyalgia but 2.5 years in I was diagnosed via blood test to
‘also’ have Hashimotos Disease. I saw
multiple doctors, quacks and specialists.
I tried everything I could think of; acupuncture, Reki, tapping, massage,
essential oils, grounding, meditating, visualization, supplements, juicing,
fasting and a few more that I’ve managed to block out. Nothing worked and I continued to get sicker.
I was gaining weight, in constant pain, exhausted, swollen, sweaty,
crumbling nails, hair falling out, eyebrows almost gone and just hanging on, barely
existing. The doctors had me on a assortment
of pain medications in a variety of combinations; Norco, Vicodin, Morphine,
Percocet and Oxycontin. I begged and
pleaded for alternatives but in the end I was willing to do anything to ease
the pain so I took what they gave me and went back for more. The dosage was adjusted often and always
up. I was advised by several medical
professionals to begin applying for permanent disability as most people in my
situation ended up there and it takes up to two years to be approved!
Look, I’m 52 years old with two (as of this posting)
granddaughters. I’m not a kid anymore
but WTH? Seriously, you guys know me…..
I’m way too immature to be an old lady already.
Amber, my sweet daughter, researcher, healer, rock, confidant and
ass-kicker when I needed it is the reason I took and continued to take those
initial steps towards wellness.
I changed everything about my diet/lifestyle and began to
get better. Once I got off the
prescription pain medications and through the associated withdrawal symptoms,
physically I was healing rapidly.
Unfortunately, at this point I kind of lost my shit a little bit but
that’s a story for another time.
Peace Out.
