Where my FLARE up peeps at?!?
It took many Dr’s, other practitioners, studying nutrition and holistic health to get to these remedies just for some relief- I’m not much closer to answers than I was 15 years ago and a billion trial and errors later. The silver lining is that when I have a reaction I realize how good I feel when I’m not having reactions and realizing that that I I am making progress and figuring out figuring out what may trigger these chain reactions. In my blog Autoimmune a Moving Target I go into more detail on have my lifetime of phantom unexplainable medical issues that change over time. its been really fun. NOT!
But I’ve never had as many sensitivities or allergies as I do now I actually created an excel spreadsheet so that I could help keep track of and make sense of all of the different allergies and sensitivities that I have sensitivities that I had so that I could start the long road of ongoing elimination diets. And as daunting and as tedious as that sounds it’s it’s the path I’d much rather take. As a teenager and a young adult I was sweet I was swallowed up into the health care system and was prescribed so much medication I don’t even know how I have a functioning digestive system at this point and really I don’t that’s why I have all these problems. But taking the time to learn about alternative health methods and really listening to my body I am realizing that I am living a very fulfilling life. Do I get frustrated at the many things I can no longer do myself anymore?? Yes!! Do I miss being able to go to a restaurant in order whatever I want on the menu? Hell yes! But these are small prices to pay just to pay for the quality of life I have today that is not dependent On a significant amount of daily medication daily medication. I understand that that is a significant privilege compared to People dealing with other chronic illnesses and terminal illnesses, And I’m absolutely not here to medication shame or doctor shame. The point is that everybody has individual and specific needs. What works for one person May not work for the other person. Sometimes it can feel impossible and dark and lonely, but there are ways up over and around. With a good medical teams, support systems and access to resources we can heal ourselves and our communities.
