Mammoth Lakes you are one of my all time favorites 😍🏔
Continuing on my last post. After being diagnosed with POTS syndrome, suspected Leaky Gut, having severe food sensitivities, a candida overgrowth in my body, along with having reoccurring kidney stones & flareups with my interstitial cystitis I made the decision to focus solely on my health. Not everyone has the ability to do this. I’m fortunate to have such supportive parents & grandparent who have supported me both emotionally & financially. My medical team has also been out of this world for their kindness, generosity, & their hard work to heal me. I wish everyone could receive the support I have received ... it makes such a huge difference. But the sad truth most people with health problems are unsupported, filing for bankruptcy, & barely scraping by. Being sick is costly. I myself would be in so much debt & ill if it wasn’t for the massive support I’ve received. During this period of focusing on my health I took various herbs & medications along with diet changes. For months I felt like I had a terrible case of the flu, especially when I began having candida die off. In that year I tried both alternative & conventional forms of medicine. There were times my alternative practitioners didn’t like what my conventional physicians & vice versa. I always did my best to be both open but at the same time having reservations. Everyone has an opinion, everyone thinks they know more ... it can be very confusing. At the end of the day you have to trust yourself & your intuition. I personally believe in integrative medicine. I can see the benefits of both plants & pills. Both have made a huge difference in my health. I’m not cured, far from it, but I have reached a point where I can manage my conditions. There are both good days and bad days ... more good days lately. The bad days I believe I’m starting to accept better. I don’t feel defined by health ailments. But I do see how these ailments & my fight for my health has shaped me. My scars are there, they’ll always be there, but they are no longer deep wounds causing me pain. I am able to smile, to laugh, to live 💚 #keepgoing @taylor_munholland ...read more
