How is your health.....
Do you suffer and stoically follow the same path hoping for a different or new result....
But nothing changes....you might add or subtract different vitamins, foods, practices but you still experience body pain, inflammation, a lower quality of life....
I was....all the above....determined not to get back onto medication because of my huge beliefs and desires to be solving my body health challenges naturally, silently suffering all the t.i.m.e...
My mental health was being affected....depression, anxiety, hiding, showing up at work, but it drained me, it was a huge mental effort....
Crying at home, couldn't sleep, pain, pain, pain...
I decided this isn't living ...zero quality of life...
I moved to Burnie, Tasmania and wasn't having any experience of it here...
So I sought a GP and had my Bloods done and was referred to a Rheumatologist...
My inflammation was out of control, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus antibodies....too active in my body, over 20 joints inflamed, no wonder I couldn't move without pain daily...
I saw the Rheumatologist last Tuesday, started medication last Wednesday, it was bitter-sweet...
Today, 5 days later my body is in so much less pain, swelling is going down, I can move, my mindset is lifting, I can go for a walk, live live live....
I have surrendered my resistance to taking medication...
So my moral here, it's okay to have to seek medical support....you haven't failed...I thought I did...
I want to live, move, experience joy, activity, be in nature in stunning Tasmania, while I'm still able to...not watch on the side....
Live life on your terms, it's your body and do what gives you quality of life...
The difference for me is immense in such a short amount of time...
Time is our greatest gift while we are here so if you are... like I was undecided....suffering...do what you need to do to live a fulfilling life...
No one deserves to suffer....
Namaste
