I have recently been diagnosed with a few of the autoimmune disorders listed below. Interestingly research shows women have a higher percentage of these disorders. Makes me wonder why?! If you hold in anger, frustration, sadness, fear etc… and don’t find a way to psychologically deal with the hurt and pain and expel it…. Our bodies will take the pain and convert it to a physical problem, hold onto the emotions and we get sick… autoimmune disorders come up years later and usually there is more than one.
A quick lesson about autoimmune diseases. It takes an average of 3 years and 5 doctors for a person to get a proper diagnosis of an autoimmune disease. I just wish more people understood what an autoimmune disease is. It is not a cold or the flu; you will never get better, and even a nap will not help. Just eating a salad and hitting the gym won’t slim your face or get the pounds off. Sleeping 10 hours doesn’t leave you well rested, ever. Last minute changes in plans because that “just got ran over” feeling. Achy joints and bones, dry skin, breaking hair, mood swings, and depression are just the tip of the iceberg. You are also prone to having multiple autoimmune diseases. The “put together on the outside,” rarely matches the raging battle on the inside.
