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...
These past of couple of days my
post titles sound more like the tag lines from mobile and balm advertisement
rather than blog titles.
There, finally after a lot of
pondering for months I changed the blog design. I wanted to do this for a long
time but instead of doing anything about it I just thought and thought and
today without even giving it a second thought I abruptly altered the look. Do
give me your input about this new avatar I'd love to hear from you.
This is what happens when we waste
our precious time in unnecessary hesitation and apprehension. If you know
what you want, if the opportunity presents itself, if there is a strong gut
feeling; then don’t think, don’t doubt, don’t second guess- just go for it!
Probably the quarter of the anti-allergic that I took last night to relieve my flu did the trick. Due to
that tiny amount which I took hours before, I am still walking around like a zombie. I cannot think clearly, I want to
sleep but simply am unable to.
This is becoming a common
practice these days, to take ponstans /panadols/ nerve relaxants to immediately
relief yourself from the exhaustion you had in the day; or to resort to
sleeping pills when you can’t sleep. One
thing I have learnt from this scenario is that it is unwise to sedate and
suppress your immune system when it has the potential to take care of you
beautifully.
Our body has inherent tendency to
repair and re-energize itself but we need to give it some time. Unfortunately
today we are prone to acquire immediate gratification. My flu was only
beginning and I took the anti-allergic. It’s like when the well-trained army is
all set to protect the country and in the nick of the time you sedate it.
Well for me, I am taking this
important lesson that from now on I will trust my internal healing ability. (Please do not misunderstand me when I talk about medicine like this, what I am
against is self-medication that is without the consultation of your doctor. However, if you are
prescribed a particular drug for your ailment it is best you follow the
directions of your doctor.)
So nice to write and have you all
on the new blog page.
A Very Good Evening To All.
Sonya. (Day 292)
