I’m on a cleanse. A 21 day, fruits-and-veggies-only cleanse. This was not one of my bright ideas, although it does sound like one I’d have, doesn’t it?
No, this was the work of Dr. Dawson’s office. And I like him. And I like Stacey, even if Holly didn’t (doesn’t.) And I am already feeling better (all my heart palpitations and about 60-70% of the pressure is gone already – just a few days in!) So there’s that.
Still, it’s hard, harder than I thought. Terrible migraine yesterday that continued this morning. But I’m trying to move forward with faith. Faith that effort will yield good things; faith that God is moving my life in subtle but important ways; faith that He is blessing my best efforts, no matter how mild they may seem.
I saw Dr. Remington for the first time yesterday. He’s old. And slow. And they told me old, but I don’t know… he was old in a way I wasn’t expecting. He did order all the blood work I wanted, and he was very honest about the iodine controversy (and well enough informed – remembered Brownstein’s name when I slipped) so I liked that. It’s nice to hear a doctor say, “Some say this, and some say that, so I really don’t know what to tell you,” instead of taking some hard-line response and pretending there IS no other side with any credible evidence. Hate that.
So we’ll see how that goes. I’ve read so many things lately about how good it is to journal – for your thyroid, among other random things, and I definitely feel better when I do it, so I’ll give it another try. Here’s hoping.
