I have had some rather disheartening health problems this last year and have gone through periods where I have felt significantly ill. For 2 months last winter I thought I was going to die. And ever since, I have felt frail and weak. I hate feeling unhealthy and I struggle a lot emotionaly with it. I have a family and we have a small construction business. I have a lot of responsibilities. I can't accept being sick.
I need to be able to visualize getting healthier and fight for it with my entire being so I can finish raising my children.
I am a mother of 5 with 3 of them grown, but one of the 3 lives at home part time still. So I have two boys at home all the time, 12 and 8.
I am 39 years old, 5'5" weigh between 140 - 142 pounds depending on how well my digestive system is working and if I have any swelling/water retention. I know I need to lose some weight, but the imminent priority right now is getting healthy. I need to feel well enough to at least start getting in some exercise, like walking. In one more week, school starts back up here so that will help and I also have a doctor appt where I will ask why I feel so tired and achey all the time. I wake up in the morning with my feet hurting and sometimes my arms aching before I even get out of bed. I spent most of the summer taking ibuprofen on a daily basis. That can't be healthy. I've got to find something that will help me.
I would like to post the different things I try to document what is helping me and what doesn't. I really don't want to spend another winter almost bed ridden. I had big plans of getting in shape and getting healthy this summer, but I haven't felt well enough to exercise. Instead I've been researching all my symptoms to see what it might be. My own guess is that there are several things going on. My gall bladder is having problems and I have symptoms of hypothyroid and adrenal exhaustion. It pretty much sounds like I'm falling apart. And I pretty much feel like I'm falling apart.
Some times I feel discouraged and feel like giving up and other times I think that if I do that, my health will just get worse. All the people I know that have lived long lives stayed active doing things they enjoyed. I keep them in mind as my motivation.
