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.

Talking of TV, Olympic
Games have begun with full bang and the opening ceremonies in London
and through out Great
Britain are huge, with Amitabh Bachchan
walking the first lap with the games torch in his hand.
It has been
claimed that this time Olympics are not merely the test of athletics but they
are the symbol of peace, unity and harmony around the world. I hope that it
this intention is fulfilled with true spirit.
I take your leave because if I try to continue with one more word then I might doze off on the keyboard.
With affections…
Sonya. (Day 331)
