Well I finally have some news to share!
Well, the great news is.... I went to a new specialist. He was recommended by friends of the family as "a miracle worker". He is a regular physician, with a concentration on undiagnosable diseases, and incorporates Homeopathy and Alternative Therapies in conjunction with modern medicine.
As most of you who read this will already know, I have been unwell for several years, seeing doctors and specialist and having all kinds of tests, with the diagnosis being Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fybromyalgia and an auto-immune disorder.
I've been housebound, gradually losing more of my mobility, and ability to live a functional life.
Well, the great news is.... I went to a new specialist. He was recommended by friends of the family as "a miracle worker". He is a regular physician, with a concentration on undiagnosable diseases, and incorporates Homeopathy and Alternative Therapies in conjunction with modern medicine.
I was very impressed by my first visit, but reserved judgement... I'd been down this road before! He ordered several in depth blood tests (so many that it required 3 seperate visits).
Long story short... he has discovered that I have Hashimoto's Disease, Diabetes, Extremely low Vitamin D levels (should be 150-200... mine are 3!), likewise with Vitamin B12, and my Adrenal and hormone levels are all over the place.
Looking at blood test results from previous years it seems the Hashimoto's - a Thyroid disorder - has been undiagnosed for over 3 years!
No wonder I have been feeling a little unwell lol!
So, two more blood test results to come in.... but at lease this new doctor is looking in the right places!
And as I said, this is GREAT news. I can fight something once I know what it is! It's a little daunting at the moment, but I feel very confident I can now move towards a path to wellness.
And I might even have a little more energy to make some cards!
Heaps of Love,
