Hi There, My name is Kathy Joy.
I remember going to my doctor with a pad of paper where I had written down 39 symptoms that I was experiencing and told him that on a 1 to 10 scale, most of these were an 8 to 10. The doctor replied, ” You don’t look like you feel this bad”. AARRGGHH!!!!
According to the lab tests and his professional opinion, I am in full blown menopause with hypothyroiditis, hashimoto, hypoglycemia and adrenal failure. In their words, “This is what getting old is all about and I need to just get used to it”. At least that is what the doctor’s tell me. I am tired of all the doctor visits, lab tests, CT scans, poking, prodding, and them offering me pills and creams for allergies, depression, thyroid, skin problems, etc.
It has been a long journey to get to the point where I feel like getting out of bed if I didn’t have to. That does not mean that I was “able” to stay in bed. There were things I “had to do”. People depended on me.
I still struggle with the fatigue, brain fog, allergies, aches and pains in my hands and knees and other little symptoms; BUT they are not as bad. Maybe a 1 – 3. I have found ways to start getting my health and strength back. Those are ideas I would like to share.
I have learned so much on this journey and the only way I didn’t give up was to keep my sense of humor. I hope you will join me as I share some of the hysterical moments that have happened and the new ones to come. This is my way of getting JOY back in life.
Welcome.
