Dear Period,
It's been a while. Yes I am still here, yes I still want you back. But I want to tell my new nutritionist lady to take a hike.
I was so encouraged by my first visit, paid a lot of money for blood work, and was sure she was the answer to my prayers, the cure to my disease. You know what? She was sure too. She maybe still is sure. But then she looked at my test results, said she had never seen anything like them (yeah. neither has any other doctor I have ever seen) and told me not to do any of the adrenal support protocols from any other natural doctors, calling me her "guinea pig". It pissed me off.
I'm not so angry that I am never going back, but I do need to figure out what is going to work for me, and when. Then I need some time to let the diet and vitamins and glandular support do its thing, while documenting all of this in a cute little notebook somewhere, and then and only then, will I be ready for another expensive nutritionist visit.
I'm still trying. I'm singing a song in my head that goes "I won't give up, on, us, even if the skies get rough..."
XOXO

Hey ladies. Have you been derailed or discouraged by a new doctor lately? If so, I am right there with ya! This latest experience has taught me even more to be my own advocate, and to do what feels right for me. My doctor had a lot of good ideas and a program that she wanted for me, but I'll be dammed if you can call me your guinea pig and get away with it. I am no one's guinea pig but my own, and if I want to take supplements to support my adrenals while I am taking your suggested regimen for pituitary support and liver health, you had better believe that I am going to. You should have no problem with that.
Following this unfortunate experience with aforementioned doctor, I did do dome research on the type of diet that she recommended, and ended up learning so much about the Paleo Diet and autoimmunity protocols and doing an allergen reset diet! I think I am actually going to do something pretty drastic as far as health reset and cleansing goes. I'll keep you guys in the loop :)
Later I'll tell you the story of my super not productive gall bladder cleanse experience from a few weeks back, along with what to do before having surgery if your doctor ever tells you you need to have your gall bladder removed because of gall stones!
