WNT2BHLTHY Journal

[WNT2BHLTHY]

Hello Everyone!

I have finally convinced myself to sit down and write my situation down in some sort of journal form. I have been eyeballing this sight for 1-2 months now. There is just so much information to process.
Well here's my story. I apologize for its length.
I'm a 28 year old women in dire need of a drastic life change.
I'm tired of being sick or feeling sick all the time. I have lost all faith in regular health care sytem and MD's.
My health history is as follows: in high school I was diagnosed with tachycardia and had an ablation to fix that...then came college...which was a never ending visit to the health clinic. While I was an athlete, I ended up with major shoulder problems which were supposed to be fixed with weeks of corticosteroids. That didn't work and I finally had to quit sports. During the rest of my college time I was on antibiotics all the time. I was told repeatedly to have my tonsils out. Finally after 4 years of neverending strep throats... I caved and had the tonsilectomy. While I was in school I worked part time for an animal shelter where i was exposed to all sorts of bugs. I ended up being exposed to a rabid animal and had to have the whole post exposure shots. I reacted to each round of shots with bad flu like symptoms. Then I picked up Lyme's disease. I went six months before I was diagnosed correctly by my boss of all people. I went to all the doctors and they couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. I had just about ever major symptom including a massive bullseye rash on my neck. 8 different MD's told me that we do not have lyme's disease in TX so they all ran every other test known to man each and every time.
After several months of misery, oral antibiotics, and IV antibiotics... I began to feel somewhat human again only to relapse a few months later. Again with the months of IV and oral antibiotics. Then came all the antifungals from all the yeast problems. I had to be put on thryoid meds due to low functioning thyroid after all this.
I never finished school due to many symptoms like severe depression, anixety, getting sick every time I would start classes again.
Over the years I was put on synthroid, many different anti-depressants, anti anxiety drugs etc.. and adderol. None of which really seemed to help.
Now my symptoms are depression, anxiety, overweight (huge tire around my waist), bad skin and hair, gall bladder pain, probably candida since I have most of those symptoms listed, joint pain, back pain, cold hands and feet, can't stand the extreme heat either, bad memory, scatter brained all the time unless I take the adderol and even than sometimes that doesn't help. Sugar CRAVINGS!!! My cholesterol is very high now for the first time. My family doc wants to put me on lipitor and nexium...but I refused.
I currently take synthroid and the adderal as needed to function. I don't want to rely on drugs that are just going to mask the symptoms.
I need help making some sort of schedule to try and get my life back. I did do two weeks of cleansing and one liver flush which yielded a lot of green and brown stones. Unfortunatley my skin got sooooo bad afterwards. My face, chest, back (neck to butt and even on my butt) are just soooo broken out. I am trying to do detox baths several times week. My diet was going well until Thanksgiving and now with Xmas around the corner I have several fxns that I have to attend where I won't be able to resist cheating.
I have started some supplementation but am not quite sure where to start.
I have gotten a lot of info. off this site already and appreciate it....I guess I just need that extra push to really get started.
Thanks in advance.

Hi there.
I'm sure you'll get some great advice from Shelley and others.
I was just going to say that you shouldn't let a few holiday functions put you off from eating well. Even if you end up cheating, don't beat yourself up, just eat well the rest of the time.
One thing that really helped me with the acne was colonics. While I was getting them regularly, my skin totally cleared up. Once I stopped getting them, the acne did come back, but it did give me a clue as to where it was coming from in the first place! I think they can be a good way to get junk out after a liver flush, so you don't break out. Either that - or get comfy with the enemas!


Good luck to you. With some determination, I'm sure you can get your health back, and it will be so worth it.
