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...

Ramadan…another chance to start anew.



Before anything, I have to say this:

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DO NOT TAKE ANY MEDICINE WITHOUT THE PRESCRIPTION OF YOUR DOCTOR.

PLEASE DO NOT TAKE UNDER DOSE / ONE DOSE OF FLAGYL OR ENTAMIZOLE DS (GENERIC NAME METRONIDAZOLE …) FOR ANY STOMACH INFECTION.

FLAGYL/ ENTAMIZOLE DS, IS AN ANTIBIOTIC AND THIS OR ANY OTHER ANTI-BIOTIC HAS TO BE TAKEN FOR CERTAIN NUMBER OF DAYS AND WITH PROPER SURPERVISION OF A DOCTOR ONLY.

IF YOU TAKE ONLY ONE DOSE OF ANTI-BIOTIC YOUR BODY WILL CREATE SEVERE RESISTANCE AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TAKE THAT MEDICATION. EVER!

PLEASE FORWARD THIS MESSAGE TO ALL YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS.

Yesterday, I was talking to a friend of mine who shared this earth shattering and sky breaking news of taking under dose of anti-biotic, probably one tablet.

I was shocked and scared that it’s not only her but many people around us who without consulting any doctor, just take anti-biotic on their own. God knows what damage has already been done but still if you are reading this you have a chance to redeem yourself.

I know this sounds really medicalish…but I have to do something. You see, after years of writing this blog, with God’s Grace and your love I have developed a voice. A voice, that is heard.

For some peculiar reason I am coming across these days with people who are in deep emotional pain and are suffering severely, and their outlet is anger. They all are engulfed in the ocean of inner bitterness.

Some of them are suffering due to problems in the family while others are affected in the matters of heart. The common denominator in all of them is their unwillingness to forgive.

We all suffer because we are all hurt at one point or another in our lives and the situation is worsened because we are not willing to let go off the pain.

I am not in any position to judge or comment, because I know when somebody behaves ridiculously, it hurts and it hurts badly. Nevertheless, we cannot allow that pain or anger to destroy us.

Forgiveness does not mean that you are going to invite that person for lunch at home. Forgiveness does not either mean that I am asking you to become BFF (best friends forever).

Forgiveness means, that I fully accept that I am hurt because of so and so’s painful behavior, but I am willing to move on. And also I am willing not to carry that pain with me any longer.

Pain or hurt has a particular energy and if that energy is kept caged inside, it will create a blind spot which is the seed of Cancer.

The best solution is, and I know it is not easy but it’s better than to have chemotherapy later on:

“Pray for that person’s well-being who hurt you for thirty days, at least for five minutes a day. Also visualize bright white light being poured on that person and also on you.”

The major signs of healing and forgiveness are; you feel light as a feather, in your heart area you feel certain joyous movement. And ultimately, you wouldn’t even remember what that person did to you. Yes, it will all be wiped clean from your heart.

I am not asking to do this because I am Mother Teresa or I want you to become one, but I am asking you to do this because life is a beautiful gift. We all get only one shot to live it fully, so why to waste it.

Ramadan is here, it is another opportunity for us to get rid of all the impurities of heart and soul, to become pristine again. Let us all make a pact right here, right now; that this Ramadan it shall be a new beginning devoid of hurt and pain and filled with peace, love & joy.  

Have a beautiful day!

Sonya Syed. (Day 480)

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS): What It Actually Feels Like

Wow! It feels nice to be back to my favourite place in the world, my blog, my love. But today it seems that the world has rotated 360 degrees. As I was trying to figure out how to tap into this new world order I thought the best way is to ask my Higher Power to guide me through. And what a better way to do that, other than recite a prayer ‘Dua Istikhara’ a supplication used by Muslims to seek guidance from Allah before making a decision. If we just read the translation of this supplication: “O Allah, I seek guidance from Your knowledge and power and ask You from Your great bounty. Surely, you can do it, and I am not. You know, and I do not, and You are the Knower of the unseen. O Allah, if You know that this matter is good for me in my religion, life, and end, then decree it for me, make it easy, and bless it for me. But if You know that this matter is bad for me, in my religion, my existence, and my end, then turn it away from me and turn me away from it, and decree for me what is g...

3 January 2019

After fighting with an alien cat in my dream, I am awake at 1.30 am. It all is followed by a futile effort of building a sleep pattern of 9.30 pm to 6 am. Alas, not all wishes come true at once. No problem I will keep on working. Being a really smart gal I have messed up with my sleep-wake cycle long ago, and today when I accidentally opened Rujuta Diwekar’s video on cortisol on my facebook page- I realized what has been going on with me.  For all of you who are not aware that I am a distant relative of Kareena Kapoor Khan and Rujuta is the link who tied  Kareena and me  together. You all must be wondering why have I never discussed this earlier, why I took so long to disclose my bond with Kareena. Let me explain.   Rujuta Diwekar is a God’s blessing for all the fools like me who for some stranger reason believe(ed) that going on USA or UK-based diet programs would make us patla (thin/ lean). It was Rujuta’s eating desi ghee and daal sabzi ch...
