The day I learned about the way my body was working

I have been feeling fatigued for most of my life.   Numerous doctors later, the answers were always the same.   Eat less, eat more healthy foods and exercise more.    But it never worked quite right.    Then I was diagnosed with a Thyroid problem.   Levothyroxine was prescribed and every year I complained that I "just don't feel right".    The same answer....   your blood works looks OK, you should be fine...   Just eat less, exercise more and eat more healthy foods.       I began the slow journey into depression believing I had no control, something was wrong with me, it had to be me...     Why can't I just lose weight, lose the stomach bloating and fat, not be irritated, feel good, feel invigorated, feel...  NORMAL...    I entered my 47th year of life without much hope, so I checked myself into a facility which helped me learn how to meditate and like who I was.   Accept that I am what I am....     That was 18 months ago.     I made my first new year's resolution in 2009 - which was to not listen to anyone anymore.   Take control of my health and accept that as long as I am doing everything I can....  I will be ok. 

I watched the Oprah show in 2008 about her Thyroid Ah-ha moment, read many books and finally did the research about Natural Pharmacy's.   I bit the bullet, got my bloodwork and entered a new world where someone took over 2 hours to explain to me how my body works.      I left that meeting in shock (and believe I still am) as everything I learned changed my entire perspective on how I WAS feeling.         I thought it would be a good thing to share what I am experiencing over the next 90 days.    This is the time period where, I am told, my life will change...   I believe it too.....
