🦋 My Hashimotos Story 🦋
For as long as I can remember I was always "sick", without too many answers as to why. Then in 2010 about 10 months after my 2nd baby was born, I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid, was given meds and sent on my way.
2 years later and I was still struggling. I had gained a crazy amount of weight, was ALWAYS tired (no matter how much I slept), I was experiencing brain fog, sometimes even struggling to put full sentences together, migraines, and pain (so much PAIN!!!) and more......
After waaaayyyyy too many doctors appointments, and leaving each one feeling more and more desperate, frustrated and overwhelmed, I finally found a doctor who listened to ME (the PERSON sitting in front of her), who was willing to run the right tests, and that finally led to my Hashimotos diagnosis.
But again the diagnosis was not some magic answer, in fact it is almost like being given a destination but without a map to get there. And so once again I was sent on my way, being told to keep taking my thyroid meds and be "well".
So this time I decided to take my health into my own hands. I did my own research and learnt the right way to move forward DESPITE my diagnosis. I also learnt something HUGE!!!! Hashimotos is NOT a thyroid problem!!! It IS AN IMMUNE SYSTEM problem!!!
Today I have reversed 90% of my symptoms using nutrition, exercise, lifestyle and positive mindset and I am finally considered to be "in remission".
I am sharing this with you because I want you to know that no matter where you are on your healing journey, I see you, I hear you, I am you!!
