So sorry you've been struggling with your health also. It's awful. My situation is complex and I have numerous diagnoses that include Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, Atrial Fibrillation, Medullary Sponge Kidney Disease, Interstitial Cystitis, Endometriosis and a vestibular/neurological disorder. This is what western medicine has told me but like you said, they really don't have any clue how to help other than treat the symptoms and I personally feel like a long exhaustive list like this aren't individual diseases/disorders but rather the symptoms of a larger picture. Sometimes I think whatever is wrong with me doesn't even have a name.PortKells wrote: ↑Thu Feb 23, 2023 7:59 pm I am so sorry. My Physical health has been brutal since I had covid over a year ago now so I'm trying to distract myself with this snow stuff. I know what it's like to lose passion for everything and I empathize with you.
I don't know what your condition is like but I sure hope and believe there is a way it can be improved and even cured. I'm taking some pretty drastic steps for my own self, specifically prolonged fasting with a fasting coach to give the body a complete reset. It seems to work for other post COVID sufferers, hopefully it can deliver similar results to me.
Maybe there's something out there that can help your case that doctors simply don't think of because western medicine as incredible as it can be, does not understand chronic illnesses one iota.
Don't let the pain or fatigue become you, you are so much more than that.
I am trying and have tried all kinds of modalities for treatment and continue to try many different avenues to improve. I have had genetic testing done though and I definitely have some genetically weird stuff going on so again, maybe there isn't an actual name for what I've got happening...this is just me. In any case, I am striving to make peace with what IS, as I have started to discover upon self reflection that a lot of my mental struggles stem from me trying to change things dramatically rather than bloom where I am planted. Does that make sense? I am trying to remain more in the present rather than trying fix my future or ruminating on the past. I've been fighting health issues for 23 years now and I think I need to learn how to simultaneously explore treatment options while also accepting what IS right now and accepting it. Hope that makes sense.
I hope your fasting plan helps you get to feeling better. I am wishing you success. Let me know if it helps you. You got this!
Anyway, sorry for the novel, it's really hard to explain all of this in a few short sentences. And thanks to you all for your support and kind words. I really do appreciate it a ton.
And now, back to weather! Besides whatever weather excitement we have coming our way, I am also sooooooo looking forward to Daylight Savings Time. I feel so much better during the longer and lighter days.
