Hi! Hope all of my followers are good!
On our journey to a healthy and fit life there are always stumbling blocks! As I told you in one of my blogs I have experienced a few! My journey has veered away from my strict healthy eating and fitness because of my fathers cancer. I stopped putting myself first and my time is very limited. Bad habits also started to surface. More recently my mind has been very foggy. Sometimes when I speak I am not always able to get the words out that I know I want to say. I walk into a room and don’t remember why I am there. Now we all do stuff like this. Most times it’s just because we are so busy and have so much on our minds! These things combined with hair loss, irregular heart rate, anxiety, feeling overly hungry all of the time and extreme tiredness I thought that life was just getting in the way of my journey! Now listing these things for you seems lengthy but all very easy things to write off as problems we all sometimes go through as a result of general life stuff.
I was having another medical issue and asked for additional bloodwork to be done. As a result I was diagnosed with Grave’s Disease. If you know me you may know that I do NOT like to take medicine of any sort. I have seen an endocrinologist that I like very much. I agreed to try a low dose of medicine twice a day for one month. I am currently doing my research to find an alternative to medicine that will fit with my lifestyle. I write this to tell all of you when you hit a stumbling block you may need to take your time to get up but when you do be fearless! Get up! Educate yourself. Ask questions! Research! If you know something about this disease please reach out. Don’t disregard the signs your body gives you!
The universe threw me another curveball but this will not keep me down!
