Empathetic to the nth degree, sensitive, caring, slow to anger...I'm a happy, homeschooling housewife of two lil munchkins and wife to one busy husband. I'm SUPER religious, love the Bible, love the One who inspired it. I march to the beat of my own drum, my greatest goal-to be a blessing to those around me.Welcome to my space in the blogosphere.
On a different note...I'm a sufferer of IBS-C. It seems like such a light issue but trust me, after being misdiagnosed for over 11 years, you come to realise how big a deal it is for many people. I was diagnosed with 'grumbling appendicitis' because of the pain and other symptoms, they took my appendix out, and lo and behold-totally healthy! Then the gastro tried to fob me off with crohn's disease. Yeah right, I didn't have all those symptoms.
Then One GP said I had IBS but he prescribed medication and no change in diet. And so my problems continued.
In the UK, without even being tested, they diagnosed me with an STD the day I landed up in the Emergency Room!
After that I tried to treat myself, misdiagnosed myself, gave up on the medical fraternity..and eventually went back in 2010 when it became so bad that my coccyx had been sore for 6 months because of the pressure. The gastroenterologist prescribed some meds, a diet free from beans, cauliflower, all fruit, broccoli and all greens. I did stick to it but there was still something off. Till I remembered that when I'd taken myself off gluten I didn't deal with the cement in my intestine, didn't deal with the light-headedness, incredible pain, insomnia, fatigue etc. And so here I am...Back to being gluten-free and eating a totally unbalanced diet. *sigh*
