well, maybe more than 40. . .

OK, I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. I could go into a book about all that is wrong with me, but instead of dwelling on health issues that are no longer in my control, I have decided to just change the things I can change and just be content with the rest. This will be my story of the first steps of changing the things I can change. Let's just hope I can do it. If your like me, you never really found any motivation on the internet.Until now! Thanks to others like about.thyroid, and Stop The Thyroid Madness, I hope that by me taking the first steps, I can finally become who I was suppose to be.

Being my own doctor

Even though we are suppose to leave the doctoring to professionals, more often than not here in the states they seem to assume what you have is nothing serious, and most of it has to do with your life style.
I would agree that a healthy lifestyle would make you healthier, but excuse me, how am I suppose to be healthy and exercise every day, let alone cook my own healthy meals, when I don't even have enough energy to get out of bed? Perhaps that swollen gland near my ear that I have had since May, including the blood work that shows I have some type of infection, is making it harder to do just the simple things!
My primary doctor sent me to the Ear/Nose/Throat specialist, and all he could say after checking out an CT-SCAN was that is was inflamed. Either I had a virus, or was just unlucky enough to have it swollen for no reason. Excuse me?????  What am I suppose to do to get rid of it and the infection my body has been trying to fight for five months?????  Well, it is not killing me so what do they care. My dishes are stacked in the kitchen, and I finally had enough energy to clean our bedroom, since it hadn't been done for a VERY LONG time. The rest of the house will take months to clean up! What about my quality of life? Don't you ass hole doctors care that I have some type of infection running rampant through my body? Fine, I will deal with it myself, and refuse to pay any more of your bills. If I paid someone to fix my car with a transmission leak, and it still leaked, I wouldn't pay for it, so if I go to you and yet you tell me I have an infection and there is nothing else to do, well then I won't pay for it either!
I will have a tooth removed near that sight, and see if that changes anything. It has been somewhat loose, but not hurting, but who knows, maybe that is the source of the infection. Thank goodness for the Internet, so that I can start to figure things out on my own since the medical community only cares if your dying or have exceptional insurance.
For the rest of us, here's to figuring out our own bodies and dealing with the problems that keep us from living the life we know we should be.

As for hypnosis, I did do a second session, and have a cd from each one. I will listen to them daily to try to relax (too frustrated after dealing with the doctors!) and use my own body to heal itself.

Still need to start cooking at home, perhaps if I can rev up my energy then I can start searching online on how to cook! At least cleaning my room is a big step for me, as it took me ALL DAY to do it.

Anyone reading this, we can make the changes we need to, just maybe not as fast as I originally wanted to. One step at time, and pretty soon we will see a difference :)
