I have been on a 3 year roller-coaster and need to begin laying out my thoughts, and experiences in order to solidify what I am beginning to understand about my body. Perhaps along the way I may be able to help someone else. The frustration, pain, depression, anxiety, illness, migraines, nausea, etc. that I have felt over the past 3 years is not fun. But, it is my body's way of communicating with me. Now, if only I would listen.
The most important lesson I am learning is that I am a unique individual (as we all are) and I know my body best, but I have to listen very carefully. I have looked for answers in many places including: traditional doctors, acupuncturists, ayurvedic doctors, chiropractors, herbalists, nutritionists, massage, qi gong, reiki, hypnosis, ear candling, meditation, visualization, South Beach, Weight Watchers, fasting, cleanses, Atkins, candida programs, nutritional programs, and others. I will gradually share some of my experiences with these avenues of potential healing. What I have learned is that I need to listen very carefully to my body and find my own path. As well-meaning many of my doctors and therapists were, they just didn't understand my body as well as I can.
I have traveled with high blood pressure, asthma, anxiety, depression, weight gain and loss, acne, allergies, nausea, vertigo, as well as many other challenges like muscle aches. Some of these I am still working with, some of them have left me.
I look forward to sharing my story, even if I'm the only one that reads it. Hopefully, things will become clearer and maybe my writing will improve, too!!!
