My Two Cents

Allhumdolillah! I am at a much better place since my last post with series of lab tests, utlrasounds, a mammogram and some other really scary tests, and a gut wrenching anxiety of results. I am doing well thankfully everything was clear except low iron levels with vitamin d3 deficiency. These deficiencies are now on their way to recovery. It is worth noting that I have been struggling with intense brain and physical fatigue since 2019 but not a single doctor was able to identify my problem. Once somebody is diagnosed with depression or anxiety then every health issue they complain about is looked from the psychological lenses. Nobody asked me to check iron, vitamin b12 or vitamin d3 deficiencies even my mum who is a dermatologist always assured me that I am fine and this weakness is just a phase.   It was a phase alright, it engulfed almost 8 years of my life pushed back my career and research ambitions.  This is not the case alone with me but there are many people who silentl...

Tasks at hand

For few days now I have an inkling that I should immediately save all the blog posts on my hard drive; although this is a mammoth task but I have to follow my instinctive feelings and start from somewhere. Almost all posts are saved in the computer but I am not sure of if I have edited versions of each post with me, so this process better start tonight. I have another task at hand and that is to loose at least 20 to 25 pounds weight. This task needs my immediate attention and dedication, and there is simply no room for laziness. Although exercise has been in my routine for long time but recently I have become inattentive to what I am eating. I do not eat large portions of meal but for few months my diet comprises of colas and fried chicken which is nothing except high calories, deep fried and highly starchy food. And I cannot even have the hormone imbalance excuse because the rule is simple you need to burn as much as you eat. In my case I am burning 1000 calories and my int...

The Past

Thankfully to God that my friend whom I mentioned to be in distress few days ago has fortunately come out of her crisis safe and sound. It is a real joy for me to see everybody around me in joy. Today I had an opportunity to have a walk down memory lane. Although I hardly ever prefer to live in memories but sometimes I believe it is fine to reminiscence the past gaiety. If I look in the past, then most prominently my school days comes to mind. Please do not worry that now I would drag you all into my school days or describe every little detail. But lets give it a glance, shall we.  I did my matriculation from St. Patrick’s School however I spend my elementary and secondary school days at a fantasy school. I call it a fantasy school because it seemed to have appeared from a fairytale and when its work was completed it disappeared into the Neverland. I did my early schooling from New Horizons Public School, located at Nursery Area in Karachi. It was a school started ...

Day 232

The person who should have carefully read my earlier post “Health is wealth” was me; before writing the post I mentioned that I haven’t been feeling well. First it was sore throat then it was heavy flu. I didn’t feel any weakness so I carried on with my routines in fact exhausted myself beyond my capacity. So on Friday night I slept early and woke up on Saturday way longer than my usual routine. Thankfully I didn’t have to go anywhere so it was a long restful day. But by evening I again did some work which exhausted me even more. By night I thought I might probably collapse due to my overwhelming week both emotionally and physically. I think it was more due to the stress I was taking which ultimately took a toll on me. My immune system initially tried to alert me but I never bothered, I’m doing better now but still lack the kick. My commitment to the blog and the will to be amongst you supersedes all. Enough of me, now let’s switch to someone else. There is a lot o...
