What's Been Up With Me. Plus, The Dangers of Soy and Thyroid Meds

(I'm feeling determined)

Hey Everyone! I've been gone for a long while. Coming back only to check messages and such. Since December I have had complications to adverse reaction to Cipro the antibiotic. I was given this in late December for an ear infection. My ears became inflamed because not only did I take oral meds I was given drops as well. I can't fault my doc too much because I had taken it before. I became hypersensitive to it. My life was a living hell for most of the winter and about a month ago when I was able to get an appointment to the dermotologist did I find I had eczema from the Cipro. By then it had reached my scalp and I haven't been able to color nor mess with my hair much nor wear makeup. I have been wearing caps/hats as my February 17 vlog stated. Also my skin has gone really dry, and the eczema has spread all over at one time or another. I have to use no dye in my soap for clothes and showers alike.

With all that my back and shoulder went out and I am fixing that. I can't sit at the puter like I used too, thus I can't be here like I was before last year. However; things are looking up in both instances. My stress level is lower now with the neighbors settling down. Plus my life is less stressful because I have done some pitching and throwing out of old outdated ideas and feel better having done a reorganization and priorotory thing. I'm still working on that. More changes are due soon but good ones.

This all started last year during my grandmother's illness and death. From 4/29/08 to 4/29/09 the negative energy just abounded. Well, I had let it. I am at fault for not fighting it harder, but I had just had enough of just about everything in my life and nothing seemed positive except one small part of me that said "I don't think so, damnit" I did have that going for me and one reason I am still here is I knew it wasn't supposed to be like that. I started pushing it and not letting it push me. It was a long process but I now have my positive energy back and in full swing!

I started visualizing my life. Healthy, happy, peaceful, with many friends. Truly I am amazed that I have been gone for a while here and yet when I do contact one of my friends here it's like I never left. I appriecate that so very much.

I feel though as if all this was done too me or rather for me for a reason. Just too see how much I could take and what I was made of. I also believe it was to help me learn to help myself. I didn't just sit and let it happen for long either. I searched the internet in helping me help myself. Education is the key. Also I was diagnosed with "Thick Blood" my hemoglobin was high. Red Blood cell over production. I fixed that with no iron because I am post menopausal. I also read and was told by another doc that I had to quit as much soy as possible because it didn't mix with my Synthriod thyroid medication. Also Known As Leventhroxin and I am not sure on the spelling on that one. Anyway, I gave up Bread that I don't make myself. I can use Canola, peanut, and the like just not Vegetable oil. That is pure soy and I had used it liberly for most of my life. It's all I knew to use. At any rate I read on everything if it contains soy, then I pass on it and make it myself with canola.

Getting back to the "thick blood" if I had it then I found a way to be proactive and fix it. I found a wonderful vitamin at GNC without iron, and soy. I have really been jammin' for about 4 weeks now. I'm right at a month since I started all this. Plus I take vitamin E. I don't recomend doing any of this without your docs knowledge but do ask him or her about it if you feel it might help. I am not a doc. I am just someone that wanted health and had to find the right combonation of things to help me get healthy again, for the first time ever I believe. Being proactive in your own life and health is essential to your well being. If you don't give a flying figg about yourself no one else is going too. I suggest that you take a good long look at yourself. Warts and all and try and do something for yourself. I had too. It was sort of what Native Americans call a vision quest. Mine was an urban vision quest. I didn't have to leave the house much and didn't. Which probably was not a good idea but for those with limited means of leaving the house, it can be done.

Now, I'm on too finding the right combination to help my thyroid medication do it's job. I feel I probably will have to go back to the endrocronologist or thyroid doc for that. I'm limited though to money seeing I have eaten though all of my flexable spending account for this year already.

I'm going to have to quit smoking. That might have to wait until next year. I do only smoke about 5 too 6 ciggy's a day now down from two packs last year. It's an improvment. I'm still maintaining my weight 175 with no exersize. I hate it! But I know I will find something I can tolerate with a messed up shoulder and rib that comes out of place once in a while now. I have no idea why I have either but, I guess it's the way I have had to live my life when I was younger and in with some rough people. Again I have myself to blame for that. It's before I learned that trust has to be earned and not feely given. I just want to thank you all for supporting me and praying for myself and Mojo my black kitty. We are both on the road to healing and with your prayers and love, it has made everything that we have had to go though a learning and meaningful experience. Much Love and Blessings to you all!
