Being that I am a person with chronic health issues. I reposted this in honor of myself and others still battling. I was told by many doctors that I wouldn't see my 40th Birthday but here I am today 46 and have reversed a lot of my health issues. This has a lot to do with our food intake and the medication these Doctors prescribe to make us better but then boom another medication gets added causing another system and this is a cycle that is created by our government and the healthcare system is all about MONEY 📈 even the food we buy. They killing us, unless we wake up and decide to go back to our original roots. The land has our medication we humans aren’t taking care of it though.
I strongly believe in this cause I am walking proof…
I’m still on my journey it’s not easy and there isn’t a quick fix. The same amount of years it takes for us to ruin our system is the same amount of years it’ll take to correct its baby steps as long as we take the steps.
I can’t speak for everyone else on this spectrum but I have fought fights no one knows but very few and I’m walking testimony.
Hot tip, if you get into a committed relationship with someone who has chronic health issues please please please understand that that person may not be able to do anything for themselves for weeks to months at a time. A large burden is going to fall on you. Take the time to make sure you can handle it before you commit.
I didn't ask for my body to fail.
My favorite quote from my doctor was, “It can’t be that bad if you are still working and doing everything you do. “ I told him I didn’t know I had a choice. 🤷🏻♀️
Years in pain, tiredness, and the many changes in me for no reason or apparent reason ... Hiding everything from someone else, pretending to be doing better than you are; until it no longer works. No matter how strong you want to be.
Then the moment comes when they tell you what you have ... You have mixed feelings: you finally know what you have, but how do you deal with it?
Lack of encouragement, wanting to lie down, taking medication frequently; having a whole pharmacy on top of the nightstand.
Then, the daily response, "Why did you get so fat?" “I have this great diet if you just go out and exercise.
That once beautiful hair of yours is now awful and it falls out.
What happened to you??....
This is all true and that's why I'm sharing it!
Silent and invisible diseases do exist ...
When you have an invisible disease it is difficult to argue from your perspective with ignorant people.
Life takes a lot of turns !!!
Tired of being told:
* Did you go to the doctor?
* Have you tried this?
* Have you tried that?
* I don’t know what else we can do for you...
Yes! I tried and still try everything !!!
Doctors say this disease is forever. That I will not heal. However, I am not giving up, but I want to make others realize:
* A nap will not cure me but it will help me ...
* I am not lazy, I take medication and it sometimes makes me sleepy.
* I am not angry but sometimes cranky with pain.
* I struggle daily with pain, mobility problems, fatigue, the criticism of my environment.
Most frustratingly, people look at me and say, "It can't be that bad; you look good "
Even though my body is experiencing excruciating pain everywhere, of course, I look good, I always try to look good, it is an "invisible" disease.
This disease affects me physically, mentally, and emotionally. Because rare autoimmune diseases cannot be seen, but we feel them.
And they are there ... Silent attack but extra painful.
