"My Lady Visit"

For someone like me, health insurance is a load of crap. Aside from the normal teeth cleaning twice a year and my annual "Lady Visit" once a year, I don't go to the doctors. I am generally not sick like that to go. I am thinking where does all that money go? Shouldn't I get at LEAST half of that money back?? Hello?!

So anyhoo, I went to my "Lady Visit" about a complaint I had. The doctor says to me and I quote "Oh that's normal for people who are going through menopause." MENOPAUSE?? O_o  Who's in MENOPAUSE?? Clearly she was NOT talking to me!! I am WAY too young to be in menopause. She says well sometimes women can get this condition who are not in menopause and are as young as their early twenties. She gave me a prescription without any other explanation and sent me on my way. Hmmmmph I left there like WTF?? I was completely bewildered. She had written down the name of the condition on a separate prescription paper and the other paper had the prescription of a cream.

I went home and got online looking for answers. The condition she mentioned turned out to be an autoimmune disorder with NO CURE and not necessarily known to just menopausal women. According to the forums, the cream she prescribed does JACK for anyone. Now going from being completely bewildered to aggravated and almost irate my search intensified. Being the holistic practitioner that I am... I dug deeper into my studies of this condition as I was NOT happy with the very little information I was given. I researched from ALL possible angles.

As I dug deeper, my research lead me to my diet, lack of sleep and lack of water. That's it? Wow.. ok, I can get a handle on that ASAP. I had been working what seemed like eighty hours a week in a city a half hour away but during the rush hour, turned out to be an hour drive each way. My diet was ok but because I was became a vegetarian, I had to make some adjustments. The water... well.. a shamed to say that I wasn't drinking my share of the sixty-four ounces per day.

I got right to work. I put myself on a serious program. Water, water, water... oh and MORE water. O_o In addition, I deleted a few things from my life and diet and added some other things. I've incorporated my herbs, oils and spiritual practice that I had been lacking in the past. Rather than use the useless cream she prescribed me, being the creative herbalist that I am, I created my own cream. While I am not a hundred percent healed (notice I did not use the word cured) I am however on the road to it.

The moral of this blog is just because your doctor says it doesn't make it so. Get a second and third opinion if you have to. Research for yourself what your options are. You will find that there are many. If you are reading this, than chances are you are interested in alternative methods of healing. Remember if you are using only one method to heal, than you are not healing holistically or maximizing all that you can to achieve a balanced and harmonic mind, body and spirit.
