Being "sick" and having no idea why is so extremely frustrating! While I don't intend to vent on here for my post I do want to encourage everyone to advocate for themselves! You know your body better than anyone so fight for your right to be healthy in ever sense of the word.
I have always considered myself a pretty healthy person but in the last year or two I can honestly say I've been at my best. I have been eating wholesome, fresh foods and have cut out sugar, excess carbs and processed foods almost completely. While this has been a process, it has made me feel soooo much better. I eat now more than ever but that is because I eat every 2-3 hours. Not only have I implemented healthier eating but I have physically pushed myself harder in this past year than I ever have. I play field hockey year round, I learned about and participated in cross fit 2x/week this summer, I played soccer, softball and ran a half marathon! These are just some of the things I have done and I love them all. I enjoy golfing each week in the summer and I love my strength training and agility/interval run days during the week. My routine is never completely the same and it truly keeps me on my toes! Considering how much my lifestyle has changed I was really hoping to see and feel major differences but I don't. Unfortunately, I have been battling some unhealthy symptoms and have been to visit more doctors in the last year than I have my whole life. I have been to sleep specialists, endocrinologists, dietitians and had blood drawn 5+ times yet I have no answers. I know that I am in the midst of a process that is not guaranteed answers but I am determined. I feel that I deserve to know what my body is combatting and I deserve to look and feel as healthy as I can possibly be. Despite my efforts I know it's not just me as to why I can't get to where I need to be. I refuse to give up. As someone who hates going to the doctor I know how annoying it is to go every couple of weeks but I need to know. I keep telling myself that this is all part of my journey and it will all pay off. I don't necessarily wish for me to have a disease or malfunction but at this point I'll take whatever, knowing that I have options and can understand it better. I know I am not alone when it comes to this and I have been really inspired by the men and women I've talked to who fought for years to prove something wasn't working right in their bodies. I appreciate all of the prayers and thoughts from everyone I've talked to. I will keep you posted but until then I will continue researching and believing that the best is yet to come.
