We go through life at 100 miles an hour and we
never think about what it’s doing to our bodies, we just keep moving on until one day it hits
us. All of a sudden we feel terrible and
have no clue why. It feels like we were
hit by a bus when we wake up. We are
tired and have absolutely no energy. Our body hurts more with each movement.
After a while we finally quit putting it off and go to the doctor. Most doctors
will chalk it up to lack of sleep and are quick to prescribe antidepressants to
help us de-stress so that we may sleep better. Some people will get lucky
enough to have a doctor actually listen and try to figure it out. They may run
various tests and do blood-work to try to see what is causing all the pain and
issues. In the end though, a lot of doctors never see the full picture so they
misdiagnose or even under-diagnose. Regardless, most doctors today are too
quick to just treat the symptoms and move you on thru rather than take the time
to actually find the underlying cause and properly treat that.
For some of us
there is no rhyme or reason as to why we suddenly feel bad. We were healthy or at least seemingly healthy
most of our lives. We thought we were
eating right by avoiding this or that food and we tried to get enough rest and
exercise. Some even avoided things like alcohol, tobacco and even drugs of any
kind, over the counter or otherwise. I refused to even take a Tylenol. Even so, something changed, and it wasn’t
positive at all. My body got older and started letting me know it didn’t feel
the same, but I ignored it and kept on rolling along at 100 plus mph. That is,
until one day it stopped me dead in my tracks, almost literally!
