Re: What R we thinking?

You just summed up (very eloquently) what I have been thinking the past few days (and tried to say in another forum).

When I first found CZ, I meet all these people who had similar problems to me and they all had labels for them. And so I desperately wanted a label too. I went to various doctors, did copious amounts of test, and spent literally thousands of dollars tying to get a label. Anyone from the Iodine forum will remember me posting about how I felt I needed to be validated with a label, so I didn't just feel like a hypochondriac. And so I have labeled myself various things. Hashimoto's, Adrenal Fatigue, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Estrogen Dominance, Migraine Sufferer, etc, etc.

But has any of this helped me? Am I really any better than I was 9 months ago? I have swallowed a lot of pills and potions. Done many protocols. But I don't really feel any better. When I first found CZ, I was 15 pounds lighter. I worked out at the gym daily and could walk 5 miles a day. After my last trip to the US, I got sick. Really sick. I still don't know what caused it, but I haven't been the same since. I can barely walk a block and I haven't set foot inside a gym. Something happened. I don't know what. But in my desperate attempt to find a label, I have wasted so much energy that could have been used to actually heal myself.

My focus was on illness, not health. It's time I shifted my focus.
