so turns out that i was not imagining

what is going on in my body...those of you who read often enough will know that over the last 18 months or so i have really battled with the odd bout of ill health and usually it centres around my stomach and/or digestive system...

so after many many sleepless nights, more drugs than i care to mention and me seriously starting to wonder if i was in fact going insane, someone i met last week told me i should go see this doctor - she's a doctor and a naturopath - rare combo and she uses a blood screening company to diagnose specifically what is (or is not) working in the body...

so this morning was my live blood analysis - pretty cool process if you don't mind having your little fingers priced, blood smeared onto small glass plates and put under a microscope - all whilst you are sitting there! i didn't...

but basically the woman doing this says to me almost immediately she lays eyes on my blood "no wonder you feel like crap - how long have you been living like this?"...

thank you universe - and not thank you that i'm not well, but thank you for having someone validate that in fac there is something wrong with me and my problems are not in my head or stress related or some other psychosomatic illness...

see for a while i actually thought perhaps i was losing my mind! of course there is still that possibility as i'm sure all of my friends will vouch for, but at least as it relates to my stomach concerns, they are real and not imagined....and of course, this woman (who does the blood tests) thinks the Dr i am going to see is fantastic...

soooo let's hope that today was the first step in getting better! actually i am feeling a wee bit better today -couple of days on from giving up wheat (although turns out spelt is NOT good for me even though one naturopath told me it was ok...shame on her) and trying to eat healthily and of course, walk most days...

soooo i have my fingers crossed that in a couple of weeks things will start to look way up on the health front...
