I want to share this as much as I am embarrassed by it and it infuriates me as to what I went through! I often get mad at myself for not knowing then what I know now!
If you have a chronic illness, inflammation, skin issues, autoimmune, cancer, etc….you can heal yourself!
Does it take a lot of life changes, diet, diligence, strong will, perseverance, and yes sometimes becoming of obsessive over it like myself….heck yes!!
Is it always easy…NO!! Do I fail sometimes….YES! Am I perfect…NO!! Do I give up…NO!!!
The first pic of me was Oct of 2013 right before I got severely sick! Woke up with no voice, throat swollen, could barely swallow anything and the inflammation I had was detrimental!
I’m not going to go into thorough detail because we would be here all day but I started out seeing specialists…7 different ones, needle biopsies in my neck, whole bunch of meds, surgery after surgery!! My body was a mess just like that and I felt like I was dying! I now have no thyroid, parathyroids, gall bladder, tonsils, and only 1 o***y left! This sickness really messed me up! They finally gave me a diagnosis…educated guess I say!! Rare infectious thyroiditis! A rare infection in my thyroid and a rare voice disorder called spasmodic dysphonia!
Every time I went in to see the doc it was always the same ol thing, scopes down my throat, schedule another surgery, and more meds! They had me on 1600mg of antibiotics a day for months! My body eventually grew immune to them and they had to keep switching different kinds! That made my gut a mess!
Of course I was put on Levrothyroxine and Synthroid and let me tell you these meds about killed me! I gained 50 pounds, hair was falling out in patches, the bone and joint pain was unbearable, my legs and arms would go numb all the time, irritable, severely depressed, constantly tired, skin was aging faster, and I didn’t want to live!!
Fast forward I got sick of being the Guinea pig every time I went into the specialist! I did a deep dive, became obsessed with finding out a solution to my problem on my own! I read and read, studied, went down a rabbit hole I never thought I would and let me tell you this opened my eye so much!!! My mind was blown as to what I learned!
The food, household cleaners, bath & body, drinks, vaccines, a lot of every day things I ate and used was pure poison and making me sicker! The inflammation, the gut, my skin, everything was being poisoned to where my body wasn’t functioning correctly!
That 2nd pic was right after getting sick…yes I look and felt horrible and I didn’t even want to leave the house! My confidence was completely gone!!
After studying anything and everything I started to make changes! I rid my home of everything and anything I thought would hinder my health and keep me from healing!!
This is why I opened my business Love U LLC because I have been there and I found solutions to a better healthier life and I wanted to help others!!
My body knows when something intakes something it hates now! After my knee replacement I was so stinking sick again and levels were high 80s for my thyroid and supposed to be under 5! I did what I always do detox and keep pushing natural remedies! I finally got my levels back to normal and I have no antibodies showing my Hashimotos! This isn’t a temporary thing though this is a life long journey I now have to stay on top of so I don’t slip back into being picture #2! I never want to feel or look that way again!
I thank God for giving me the knowledge and confidence back to help others through their life’s journey but I am just a vessel doing what God put in my life’s plans! It takes personal responsibility and will to help yourself through the tools God has given me! Every gradual change helps when you start eliminating toxins and chemicals from your home, eating healthier, and drinking better, and cleansing your body of contaminants! Your body and mind will be renewed and you will feel like a brand new person! Remember this doesn’t happen over night! You didn’t get this way overnight and time heals!
You can’t tell me or convince me that what I’m doing doesn’t work…I am living proof! ❤️
The 3rd pic is me today at age 42🫣 time flies
This is what living the way I do has done for me!! I get told all the time I don’t look my age! (I don’t act it either)😂
I take Armour Thyroid which is a natural pig desiccated thyroid hormone and take herbs and detox often! I don’t take anything else!! I rid my house of toxins, chemicals, and buy a lot of clean organic foods! I do still have spasmodic dysphonia they say there is no cure..I’m dying to prove them wrong once again!
This has been my journey and I pray I can help others with theirs and God uses me abundantly!
