Woof I tell you, woof! It has been a long, long road for me the last several months. It's no secret by now that
I have some health issues primarily endometriosis, fibromyalgia, and back issues, and boy have they been keeping me busy lately.

It has been awhile since I've had the mojo to get to my blogging, and I apologize to both my readers and myself. But you see I have since been healing from my diagnostic endometriosis laparoscopy and 2 low back nerve blocks and 2 low back rhizotomys.
BUT I COME BARING GOOD NEWS!!!
I have been seeing a holistic doctor and we have worked up a concoction of vitamins and hormones that have been helping me a great deal! I am willing to share if you promise to understand that these were specifically arranged for me and my issues, and to please talk to your doctor and pharmacist before you guzzle them down. Ok? Ok.
These beauties I would bet would be a great help to anyone with fatigue, depression, autoimmune, pains, arthritis, mood fluctuations, and sleep issues. They are a high potency formula made from dependable resources....no junk $2.99 vitamins allowed on this one, each will run about $30, I suggest amazon, and yes, they are worth it, and so are you!
I was told to take the basic nutrients V at 2 pills 3 times a day, and the citramins 1 pill at 2 to 3 times a day, WARNING TAKE WITH FOOD!!!! That's what was recommended for ME, for others I'd say start at what's recommended on the bottle and with your doctor work up to what suits you....you would feel the difference at the right dose, I promise.
For me these vitamins have lifted that dark, heavy, I don't want to think, stare at the wall feeling that comes with extreme fatigue and depression. I find myself with more upbeat thoughts and actions, quicker to get off the couch/out of bed, and all over less worried and tired. I also noticed that I sleep more soundly more often. My pain levels are also at least 60% less, pending healing from my procedures. I have family also taking these and they too have reported the same outcomes, including decrease in pain!
Now, on a much more specific level it has been found that I have adrenal glands that are not fully doing their job. I have an abundance of pure inner stress basically. So, with that my doctor has me taking the following:
DHEA
Cortef (hydrocortisone your body makes naturally)
Iodine
With the addition of these items I can honestly say I've felt more human than I have for over a decade! I haven't had a true "flare" since February!!!! The DHEA is a hormone that also deals with adrenals, mine were very low, so a pharmacy compounded one specifically to my doctors orders. This is directed to my depression, autoimmune issues, hormone imbalances, and inflammation. I have also been told to get fully off of dairy and gluten products. This seems to make a huge difference in my endometriosis pains, probably because my digestive issues are so closely related, but nothing will fix that except another surgery.
All in all, these items have made a large and positive impact on my life. I have plenty more to share, but it's good to be back and I hope that my recent findings can help you! We've tried it all anyway right? Why not try a doctor that looks outside the box and tries to fix the problem by finding the true problem? I really do suggest a holistic doctor.....they are far more educated than a typical pcp....check one out!
