PRAISING Jesus for finally getting answers on my health!
Our curly girly gets into everything now, and doesn’t like me telling her no or redirecting her. 😂
In a similar vein, she has NOT appreciated the weaning process. Prayerfully we will have that finished by the end of this week so I can start the healing and detoxing process.
We’ve finally gotten to the bottom of my health issues after three, hard, long years—the short story is that I’m dealing with serious mold toxicity, and genetically my body can’t just get rid of it on it’s own (apparently 25% of the population can’t!!).
This has triggered the chronic inflammation in my body (despite how carefully I eat and all the toxins we eliminated from our home years ago). And that chronic inflammation has triggered my autoimmune spectrum and neurological issues.
I am grateful we have found a functional medicine practitioner who both deals with mold toxicity and autoimmune issues. We have been to several in the past (and a whole host of providers in allopathic medicine) and no one has ever found the ROOT.
Praise the Lord for the Lord moving and placing us exactly where He knew we needed to be. If not for my hope in Him, I would have despaired a long time ago of ever having healing or normalcy again. He is faithful.
And if you’re like me and dealing with seemingly invisible illness—You aren’t just “tired”, or “anxious” or “sleep deprived” it isn’t all “in your head”. God gives us bodies equipped with signals and symptoms for a reason! And our bodies are complex, and someone else’s normal or the bell curve on labs, doesn’t mean it is YOUR normal.
Keep researching, keep asking your doctor questions, keep advocating for yourself—and ultimately keep entrusting the process to Jesus, our ultimate healer. At the end of the day, even if I didn’t get my health back (and the process for that will probably be a very slow one), I have Jesus—And with Him I have everything.
