So, awhile back, I promised that i'd be sharing the details of my journey trying to figure out what the heck is going on in my body. I've been doing a ton of research online and reading as many books as my library card and schedule permit me to consume. For quite awhile, I was carrying around Adrenal Fatigue for Dummies. Actually, I ended up buying it because the library wouldn't let me renew it anymore. Because the book had so much information that seemed to relate to my life, I headed over to Amazon and purchased my own copy.
Lots of lab work has been done and I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis but Adrenal Fatigue has been ruled out. At this point in my life, I don't really want to be medicated if its not absolutely necessary. I'm hoping to find out more about what ails me so that I can understand how it works and then learn how to combat or reverse it.
Waking up everyday feeling like I haven't really slept, having pain from a touch that shouldn't be painful, feeling sluggish and bloated after consuming my body's tolerance level of sugar, getting confused by something that really should be simple, feeling my muscles spasm and grow weak from the simple daily activities such as opening a door, and long for my bed by 7pm only to have trouble falling/staying asleep once I get to bed is wreaking way too much havoc on my life and I'm not having it anymore.
My goal is to understand this foolishness that has decided to take up residence in my body without invitation and evict it with the quickness. Not only is this MY body, my body is a temple that the King of Kings and Lord of Lords has declared as his residence. With that said, SOMETHING has got to go. I'm choosing to evict Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and all of its baggage and drama. I'm a 29 year old female and i'm too young, healthy, and blessed to be bound by some hot mess foolishness.
I refuse to cry another tear over this situation so I choose to speak life and healing over my body and because I am claiming that over my life and believing my God for it, I believe that I shall have what I ask. (You think i'm talking some craziness? Go read Mark 11:24. I believe God's word!) With that said, I will do my best to be more consistent with my updates and sharing my story. If I don't update for a bit, just assume that I fell asleep on the couch before Dancing With The Stars came on.
*Note: This post took on a more religious feel that I originally intended but I am listening to Break Every Chain by Tasha Cobbs. I'm taking that as a sign.
