Re: Things that have helped me to recovery

[Guest guest]

Wow Rogene!

This is outstanding. I love hearing people talk about recovering -- getting

better.

This is so positive and I thank you.

I had left another forum because there was so much talk about the problems and

not

about getting better. In fact, when I talked about ways I was trying to get

better without a

lot of narcotic pain killers and sleeping pills, I got slammed pretty bad. I

am not a doctor,

and can only talk about my experience. But it seems that living in a fog,

sleeping during

the day and not at night is giving up.

I don't want to accept that I will be be sick or incapacitated the rest of my

life -- certainly

not without a focused effort to do anything I can to get better!

Just curious -- do you have or did you have Hashimoto's thyroiditis?

Molly,

I was hypothyroid . . . they didn't give it a name at

the time, just some pills.

My doctor still asks if I'm taking a thyroid

supplement every time I go in . . . Even though she's

my doctor. She acts like she can't believe I don't

need it any more!

From the outset, I've decided to try anything that I

think might help, as long as it doesn't hold the

possibility of making me worse.

Back then, I met women who rejected all alternative

health care. . . They scoffed a me. . . Well, they are

sicker now than then, and I'm doing great!

We have to keep on fighting back . . . concentrating

on the positive and doing what we feel (via God's

divine guidance) is right for us.

Hugs,

Rogene

Rogene,

Whatever works, right? Did you ever have your throid (TSH & free T3 & T4)

checked after

you stopped? Just curious. You feel okay though, right? WHat did you do to

get better

from the thyroid problem?

I think you are right that God's grace has a lot to do with our getting

better...and the

willingness to work at getting healthier!

Molly,

My doctor checks my thyroid function annually . . .

since getting the Magnesium issue straight, I feel

better than I have since getting my implants 27 years

ago . . . regardless of aging 27 years!

As far as what I've done . . . I've tried so many

things, I can't attribute getting better to anything

in particular. I sincerely believe that God leads me

to what I need, when I need it. . . I trust that He

will take care of me. . .

Eleven years ago I had a dream where God told me to

turn everything over to Him and that He would take

care of me, my family and my enemies! . . . I woke up

with the dream fresh on my mind and readily agreed. I

felt as though a tremendous weight lifted immediately!

.. . . At the time, I had just lost my job, marriage

was rocky, and I was at my sickest!

God has managed many miracles for my family. Right

now, I'm praying for an important one. I learned today

that my mother (91) will be dying soon. She's been

preparing to go for some time. I think it will be a

relief for her to know she's almost there. Her mind is

great, but her body is worn out.

I'll see her tomorrow, tell her and ask what she wants

to do. She can opt for IVs to keep going until my

brother can come or she can opt for hospice care.

In the meantime, say a little prayer for us too!

Hugs and prayers,

Rogene
