I’ve
been dealing with some ongoing health issues for quite awhile that had steadily
been getting worse. I have been blessed
with an over active immune system, which sounds great in that I hardly ever get
sick, however my poor body feels it is necessary to constantly be battling
something. Me! Talk about being your own worst enemy.
People
that suffer from auto immune issues are faced with a variety of different diseases
and issues. Some are serious while
others are not so much. I won’t bore you
with the details of what exactly is going on with me but suffice it to say I do
have some decisions to make.
After a
visit with my doctor in mid January I’m afraid I fell into a bit of a tailspin,
in that I wasn’t sure what decisions I should make. Should I do this or should I do that? And what will that entail? How will that affect my family? My new business? Our home and our financial situation?
A lot
of sleepless nights ensued and I think it is fair to say a slight depression
followed around the first of this month.
Plus, I got really scared. Fortunately,
I don’t have to make any big decisions today or tomorrow for that matter, and
once I realized that, I was able to settle down and think more clearly.
I’m not
a big one for sharing my personal stuff.
Some people have no problem telling you their entire life story and sharing
every detail. That’s not me. If I have a problem I work on it and fix it
myself. I rarely ask for help, unless I really need it. It is just how I am.
The
reason I want to share right now is that I’ve made some serious dietary changes
that have had a significantly positive effect on my health. The biggest thing for me is how quickly I
have managed to turn my particular situation around and the impact that has
made on my future outlook.
So in
my next post I will share with you what I’ve been doing the changes I am
seeing. If you are having any health
issues or concerns perhaps this will be of help to you too.
Until
tomorrow…
I'm so sorry to hear you've been sick, and I am happy to know you were able to find a solution!

DeleteI have chronic fatigue and cysts growing all over my thyroid and chronic Epstein-Barr. Also rheumatoid positive, so may be I know a little what your going through. Can't wait to hear what you've been doing, as I am always looking for ideas. One thing helping me survive this winter weather is taking 5,000 I.U. of Vitamin D. Your blog is one of my favorites!
