I know that it has been a while since my last post, but ironically, I tell everyone not to feel sorry for me and I start to feel sorry for myself. Suffice it to say, I am good as long as I tell myself that I am okay.
You see, I promised my 4 year old that I would quit smoking. I did this back in January and ever since, my little 105lbs body has gained about 20lbs and I don't like it. I tease that I am going to start smoking again, but I will give it time. I run, I try to eat right, but still pounds and after being a recovering anorexic, I don't like it. Help!!!
Hi Kim,
ReplyDeleteI had cancer and beat it naturally read on to learn some truths about autoimmune diseases. Autoimmune diseases are both perplexing and mysterious to say the least; there are approximately 80 to 100 with another 40 waiting for a name and if you get one you will get another and so on. Medical science who has not cured a disease in 60 years, cannot explain why we have this autoimmune epidemic or why you have even one of these diseases. You can trigger one of them just by having an auto accident, taking aspirin or medication or by starting a new exercise routine; even too much stress says latest research. Naturopathic medicine says, “Look for the root, it is in the basics beginning with what is on your fork, what toxins are in your body, what exercise do you do, what stress is in your life, what is your spiritual base”. Scientific arrogance has led us down the wrong path we better stop and take a close look at what is happening. This month 150 new chemicals will be added to the 85,000 in the environment which are part of the autoimmune problem. They will be added too industry with no oversight control at all. Autoimmune disease is the worst kind of contradiction; for a sufferer you are attacking your body with your immune system, a world upside down. God bless you in your search.
Sincerely
Paul

Lupus sucks! There is no other way to put it. It affects everything in your life and when you feel bad, no matter how slightly, your first thought is whether it's a lupus flare, or heaven forbid, another facet of "lupus". I have bad days that turn into weeks--when the weeks hit a month I go to the doctor. Probably the wrong thing to do, but sometimes those "pains" go away. Sometimes they don't. I have lupus, raynauds, hoshimoto's, interstitial cystitis, and now (drum roll please) Sjogrens. What a complete and constant pain in the eyes, nose, and mouth. I finally have a great doctor who thinks I am brave and strong and worthy of worry (I gauge each flare by my worst flare ever and have found them all lacking in the horrible, painful confusion of the foggy/excruciating years). My doctor wants to know everything and listens, cares, and treats. I also have the most wonderful husband (we married five years ago) who loves me, takes care of me, and worries for me so I can continue to live my life, on those good days, like I don't have lupus--he makes sure my life and work (Administrative Assistant) keeps me away from the sun (I can't even ride in a car without covering up with a quilt to protect my skin), take my med's (a total of 8 RX's a day), get plenty of rest, and minimal stress. I won the lottery of auto-immune diseases, but I have a wonderful life and I'm going to try to not let lupus define me. I hope--pray--that if you don't start feeling better, that you find someone to hold you when you feel bad. Not being alone when you are in pain makes all the difference. I hope this finds you well...
