I'm just going to make this quick for now. Its a new year: 2011. I want my life to be in another place a year from now. I want to be healed. I am 34 and I have had chronic pain since I was 16 (detailed story later). I was diagnosed with chronic fatigue when I was 19. I started getting allergies in my early 20s. I started to have some digestive issues around age 20 also. Two years ago I was diagnosed with a gluten intolerance. Eighteen months ago I was diagnosed with PTSD. Six months ago I was diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome. On New Years Eve I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia for which I have had definite symptoms for the past 3 years.
My new doctor has given me hope though. She says all this is 100% reversible! She has seen it happen and she has given me some tools to be able to do it! I am first reading The Mindbody Prescription for which I have read both positive and negative reviews so I am doubtfully hopeful it will help me. I am going to open to it and see what happens. Also for Giftmas this year my mother got me a mom's fitness DVD with a program that claims that he can help a mom go from a size 18 down to a size 4... I challenge this idea. I am at a size 10 so it shouldn't be that hard, right?
So I am going to exercise, read some books about how to heal chronic pain, and I am going to relieve some of the other tensions in my life. Things will become more stressful first so I am hoping starting the programs first will prepare me for the added stress.
I have faith that this is the year that my life will change... 35 here I come!
