I'm back!

LOL...I'm sure I've posted that title before...yep I'm sure. So it's been a long time...like 5 months or so. Not sure where to start....

I'll start with me finally making the decision to go see Dr. Thropay...ok well my husband made me go. For the past, I would say, 5-6 months I have been having the worst health problems EVER. Dr.'s don't seem to really even know what's wrong with me. I am on Blood pressure meds (several), Metformin for my PCOS and now progesterone and lots of it for menstrual issues. I've always been VERY VERY skeptical of Dr. Thropay although I've seen wonderful results in his patients. He's made people much better by just helping them with a healthy way of eating and adding necessary supplements.

With me, he diagnosed me with a Thyroid issue. Dr's ALWAYS suspect that I have a thyroid issue but blood tests and other tests always basically point to it not being a thyroid. So what do they do about it? Nothing. If the tests don't show anything then the dignosis is that there is nothing wrong with me. They just keep giving me various meds that make me more sick and I do not get better but actually worse.

I went to see him the first time last Thursday and in the end walked out with several supplements and after a lengthy meeting with a nutritionist, knowledge of what I needed to eat, where I could buy thing cheaper AND how to prepare it! It took me all weekend to really wrap my head around all this. I felt really overwhelmed on Saturday when planning my meals....I think I was just really doubting whether or not I could do this. I had to accept that this was my only option. I am now not eating Sugar, Flour, Soy anything, Peanuts, cashews, milk, cheese and yogurt and basically anything that has MSG or chemicals. I am taking Standard Process supplements which are Iodomere, Calcium, 1 Bucco drop in my water along with 1 drop of Pulmonest.

I have actually not taken my Progesterone and am reallllllly hoping I don't start bleeding like mad. It's only been one day. One horrid thing that I am experiencing are headaches.....last night I woke up to a very painful headache and I am hoping that it's not a regular occurrence. I actually got a really bad headache while at work yesterday and had to take Advil. I need to ask my nutritionist about taking stuff for my headaches and what can be causing them.

So I am documenting everything I am eating and my next visit with the Dr. is on Tuesday.

Till later, God Bless.
