Re: #37610, Here are your kind & encouraging words! :-)
Hi there - I think it's wonderful that you are reaching out for support. That's a great step and I admire that. You have received some advice here so far. Some I would personally agree with, and some I would disagree with. We are all so very different that there is not always one answer. I will give you the link to our website, where you can see what has worked for me and what has not, as well as find many links to other sites with great information. This can help you do your own research.
When I have symptoms, I usually try to deal with it naturally at first, unless it seems severe or weird. There are also many things I won't play with. I go to the doctor to be checked out. Usually, all I want is a diagnosis. Then I decide - is this something I can handle naturally or not? Occasionally, though not often, the mainstream medical way to deal with an issue is the best choice. Usually, as long as I'm not in any danger, I research the problem and try and recover through natural means.
It seems wise to me to get a correct diagnosis. It puts my mind at rest. I've had symptoms in the past that were scarey, but then the doctor ends up telling me it's nothing serious (Thank God). If there really is a problem, I want to know so I can make my informed choice for treatment.
Lastly, I do believe that with all of the things you have experienced in your life, it would be wisdom to seek some assistance. I believe in going after the best life you can have. Sometimes that means getting help dealing with the past, and learning how to live more effectively in the present. Most of all, what has worked for me - what has been the most powerful for me in my life for physical and emotional healing has been Jesus. I tried everything else. I actually used to teach positive thinking, affirmations, visualization, etc. I tried every eastern religion. I am born Jewish and applied Judaism. Only Jesus has radically changed my inner and outer life. Only Jesus healed my heart and changed my life. My life has been an upward sprial for the last 12 years since I first believed. I'll give you a link to my story, and some resources.
Blessings, peace and joy,
Angie
