The last few weeks have been a blur in many ways. I started a process to get healthier and figure out what was wrong. My body has been slowly trying to get my attention for some time now. Little things kept getting worse from stomach and digestive issues to sleep problems to mental health, I was in a spiral of degradation and ignoring it.
At this point, I have had blood tests for thyroid and been told I have an auto immune thyroid; I have gone off birth control, started walking 30 min/day, and have tried gluten free for a week and not sure that is the answer. I am currently trying to eat healthier but there is a lot of debate over what is the healthiest, even without having issues! Near as I can figure all the schools of thought agree that green foods are good, but there is even discrepancy on that!
I found a thing about probiotics and gut yeast that made me think "this is me!" with all the symptoms. Unfortunately is was basically a long commercial (about an hour video) for a specific product. I have a couple of friends who have tried it with no dramatic results, and since it is one of the more expensive options, we are holding off for now. (But knowing my natural flora being out of whack contributes to many other things getting off balance helps!)
I am trying a homeopathic remedy this week. I feel better about this than I did the gluten free process. I know I need to do something, and I am trying not to send my system (physical and mental) into shock (again!) with too many changes. It is hard to concentrate and focus and not just blah blah blah not-shut-up at people! (Yes, I know I was like that before, it is more prevalent! *scary thought.)
I am so grateful for supportive family and friends. I know the resources are there as I need them. I have prayed and prayed and will keep praying throughout this process.
