The Driven Soul

I feel like I am where you where 6 months ago, now. I was in the ER last week and then again today. Another time last month always going at it alone. One health issue seems to create another. And the only light in my life is my kitty. Last month I wasn't able to walk or sit. This week I was able to make some progress with the walking but still can't sit or my hip will get numb. Seeing two different chiropractors hasn't solved it and its difficult because I can't do an MRI and I won't do a CT scan and I'm just burning through money with the chiropractors as they give temporary relief but its been 3 months now and I feel I'm not getting anywhere. I lay in bed all day to work and it makes me feel like my body is wasting away. Was diet and exercise the main thing that got you out of that terrible place? I wish we were neighbors.

I fully understand your situation. I saw a couple of doctors in the last 6-9 months, but they wanted for me to have every test and exam. I did some, but I did not do everything. It takes me some time to heal, patience is a huge aspect of my life. I know that it will take more than a day for me to get better.

Majority of the drs simply gave me a script and not a real reason, why things were happening the way they were. I took their script, but never took the meds. I approached getting well through a specialized diet and exercise. I hope you feel better, it's hard to live a life when we have to juggle an illness or affliction.

I get satisfaction by helping people. It's just who I am

I help the homeless in the streets. I train and help people in the gym to get better results. If you pay it forward in life, it comes back to you. It really does!

This is fantastic and it is generally true. However one thing I have learnt to my cost in life is it can be dangerous to pour from an empty cup. We have to remember to look after ourselves as well as other people especially if no one else is looking out for us.
