Normal

I used to be very abnormal in more ways than I like to think. Then again, what is normal?
I am normal in a lot of different ways. Today, I would like to talk about the healthy portion of it. I recently had a blood test done. This blood test said I was normal. My FSH, LH, Thyroid, A1C, and insulin are normal. My vitamin D is low and my Thalassimia is still holding strong. My Vit. D is low due to the fact I live in a dark, cold place. For this reason I am now taking 4,000 I.U. of Vitamin D a day. My Thallasimia is genetic and as far as I know and the doctors at this current time, I will continue to have it whether I eat healthy, take supplements or exercise or not. It isn't cureable.
Yesterday I had a spiritual experience that made me feel really good. I had an overwhelming comfort that I was doing everything right and that I will be blessed.
Through this life lesson, I have learned patience. Therefore, I don't know when I will be blessed. I just know that I will and I have to wait and see. I am totally fine with that. I probably have already been blessed, but I just haven't counted the blessings yet.
Having PCOS is not the end of anything. It is simply a wake up call that your body needs help. For me, it was a HUGE lifestyle change. Not a change that will last for a few weeks or months, but it will have to last for a lifetime. It takes courage and a lot of "no Thank you" to people offering you treats. Especially during the holidays. It is the hardest time. I find that if I don't give in at all, it is easier to turn all of it down.
Merry Christmas
Happy New Year!
My resolution for the new year is to be as healthy and as happy as I can be with what I have. "COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS Name them one by one."
