If you had a chance to read my last blog (novel š) you know that the last year and a half has been a long and successful journey into better health for me. I finally have relief from vestibular migraines, fibromyalgia & chronic pain. Iām happy to say Iām doing much better now and wanted to share a bit about what I learned along the way!Ā
The whole experience has been WILD but I am thankful for every step. Hereās what Iāve learned:
āļø Prayer works. Thank you to everyone who was praying for me. So many times doors opened that shouldnāt have and I know itās because I needed answers so I could move on to the next avenue. I wasnāt expecting a miracle or healing, I just wanted to know what was happening so I could manage the symptoms better. I believe that I got my miracle anyways thanks to those who were praying for what I didnāt even have the energy to consider.Ā
āļø Iām so thankful to have access to so many specialists but the medical system is extremely broken. They are trained to medicate and refer and move on. Very few doctors listened to me and didnāt just look at the test results
āļø If you donāt research yourself and know what to ask for, youāre not getting anywhere. I literally had to start telling them what I wanted to get anywhere.
āļø No one is going to help you navigate anything. Have questions? Google is your best bet. Also, donāt google anything unless you want to convince yourself youāre dying.
āļø Advocate for yourself. If you know something isnāt right, keep pushing. Medical staff donāt have time to care about your situation, they are so under resourced & over regulated.Ā
āļø It takes a village. I couldnāt have kept perusing this if I didnāt have the people around me who watched my kids and made meals and prayed. Seriously. How someone goes through things like this without a village, Iāll never know!
š Know your limits and know when to ask for help! Itās ok to say no and bow out when a situation no longer works for you! šREST! Is more important than I ever realized.
Iām always open to a conversation about healing, especially if it helps someone grow and healā£ļø
Until next time, Shine onāØ
