I started my blog years ago to share my story and motivate others to reach for their goals no matter the obstacle. My main objective was to get off of diabetes and high blood pressure medication by living a healthy lifestyle.
I accomplished that goal by loosing 100 pounds and then I experienced other obstacles. The main one that I have been unable to manage is my vertigo. My activity level decreased to zero, and my frustration led to less meal prepping. And then up, up, up went my weight.
I have gone to several doctors, specialists and naturalists. I've gone through several diagnosis and a series of tests. I got the "final" diagnosis yesterday : Menieres Disease. According to conventional medicine there is no known cure and it is common to worsen with age. Stress and high-sodium trigger vertigo episodes. My doctors plan is for me to take a diuretich and to see him every 3-4 months for a regular check up and management i.e. how it is affecting me with time.
I am more focused on living a long healthy life. Now that there is no more uncertainty about "what is wrong with me?" I can tackle the dis-ease. I will work with what I've got and manage it all as best as I can.
I can do it with holistic methods, clean eating and positive thinking.
Heres to healthy living and never giving up!!!
