I'm tired today. I have so many things going through my head lately. I feel so worn out. I suffer from a slight case of adrenal fatigue as well as hypothyroidism. After meeting with my Dr for our initial visit recently she has discovered that I have been hypothyroid since at least around the same age as puberty. Symptoms that I thought were related to nothing as well as the adrenal fatigue. I joined the Army when I was 17 and we suspect that helped my adrenal glands to fail slightly more. Then I had my daughter nearly 4 years ago and that is really when things went south for me. A mass of problems emerged that no one seemed to be able to figure out. Then last year a close friend began urging me to seek information about the thyroid as she recognised my symptoms to be more than normal, and she even referred me to my the Dr I am seeing now.



So, per my Dr's orders I have recently begun taking suppliments and an adrenal glandular. At first I thought this was going to be an easy ride as immediately I had energy. And I even felt like exercising! I have a full gym in my home and never even use it because I always feel so crummy. Perhaps I let my energy level get away with me. One night I really felt like dancing so I pushed the couches aside, put on some music and went to town. :p Then the next day I still felt great and ended up bounding around the house with great ease and then the next day doing a jump rope demonstration for Sybil. Then the energy just kind of tapered off after that and I am right back to feeling listless again. I am hoping that I just did too much too soon. I think, in one way that shows me that I most likely do need to get some actual adrenal medication?? I think my Dr. will be a better judge of that for me at this point. I am just so grateful to have found her, and its such a pleasure having a Dr that knows as much AND more about thyroid problems, than I do. My last few Dr's were not as up to date as she is. And to their credit it has taken me nearly a year of about 20 hrs a week, worth of sorting through the plethera of thyroid information and then also trying to figure out how much of it actually pertains to me, and then translate all of my own labs and find a Dr to look at them. UGH! It was a lot of work. :) And I am so glad that I have done it.


I do enjoy learning. Its a pity that I have not done more formal education than I have. But I am determined to make it right and go back to school. I believe I will start off slowly and keep it there. I do not want to take away from my duties as a wife and mother just to further my formal education.

My curly girl hair is pretty flat now...

So after swimming a few weeks ago my hair went hay wire and I broke down and washed it. Since then it has been pretty weird and not wanting to curl. I bought some children's Suave conditioner (mmm grape) as well as some children's detangling spray (mmm apple) and have used lemon juice on it as well and nothing seems to be helping. I guess I'll just have to wait it out.




I have a cow lick right in the middle of my forehead and my hair is always doing this weird little flip thing that usually annoys me. Here in this picture its doing that flippy thing on the left side of my forehead, and on the right side there are some wispy hairs that are curling up and sticking out. ARG! This is why I used to blow dry my hair!


:D

Stopping the Cleanse

After my last post I consulted with some friends and did a bit of searching on curezone.com about yellow skin and eyes and found that means the liver IS overloaded and that a liver cleanse is necessary. It also strongly recommends that you do a parasite cleanse BEFORE a liver cleanse as it will hinder the liver cleanse.

I looked up the parasite cleanse formulas and there is one thats highly recommended called Clarika. So I will but some Clarika and do a parasite cleanse and then when I'm done do a liver cleanse, and then maybe I'll try doing another Master Cleanse for the amount of time I had planned for this one.


Yesterday afternoon I broke the fast with some chicken broth and later some some veggie soup that I put in the blender. T'was pretty yummy. Can't wait to have some more of that later today. :)

Master Cleanse Day 6

Woke up feeling okay today. Got to bed pretty late last night. Have lots of cleaning planned for today. woohoo. My skin and eyes still have a yellow cast to them. I'm going to lay in the sun for a few minutes and see if that won't help. I'm thinking I have extra toxins in my liver that need to be flushed out. I still haven't done a gallbladder flush yet. I think I will save that for last and do my liver. I do have some milk thistle tea but it is so yucky and hard to drink...


Off to lounge in the sun. :D

Master Cleanse Day 5

Today I weighed in at 184. Thats down 6 lbs. A bit tired and weaker than usual. I think thats because I didn't drink any lemon juice yesterday, just the cranberry apple juice that I made. I definitely feel better when on the lemons ;) I was very tired yesterday and went to bed earlier than usual. I woke up at 7am naturally this morning and stayed in bed to snooze. I ended up falling back to sleep and didn't wake up again until 8am. Next time I wake up on my own I will just get up.

Later today I'm going to do another enema. I can tell I need to eleminate more toxins. Feeling icky. And a shower will do nicely.
