Walking

I grew up in a culture of always showing the outside world I was "fine" even when I was sick, which eventually lead to me ignoring my needs an adult. It made me push way past my boundaries and cause so much more damage to my body than I ever should have. So, the change in my lifestyle that has helped is listening to my body, and setting my limits regardless of social norms.

Consuming a more anti-inflammatory diet/paying attention to what I'm eating/drinking. The less inflammation-the less pain I'm in 👍

Working from home

The biggest helpful change I made was learning to listen to my body and not push myself to the breaking point every day. It took getting so sick that I should have died for me to understand that though. Don't wait until you are told, "you have pushed your body so far that you should not be walking and talking right now".

Surprisingly, cutting my hair. I used to have over a foots length of hair before I cut it, and I hold it so close and dear to me so I donated it to make a wig. It was a truly amazing process!

Understanding that healing is a multi system approach and that I needed a lifestyle over haul of sorts. Diet, toxic load, supplements, meds, parasympathetic nervous system work, liver support proper detox…the list is so long is crazy. I have diving heavy on the research of all the conditions I have to learn more about cause. We are acidic beings, especially Americans ( sorry our standard American diet is one significant part of the problem but not the whole picture). This is on a cellular level and part of it is that we are so overloaded with toxins that we sick in many different forms. I have always experimented on myself in order to find what works best for me and I have three other things I am looking to try that are probably very ours side of the conventional medicine world, but so far that has done me justice. If anyone is interested I have a great article I found that explains with research articles referenced at the bottom. And I am an open book and willing to share any information that might someone else, just pm me.

I've changed how I dress and what I take with me so I can still enjoy my life. I don't leave the house anymore without my tote: nausea bracelets, zofran, and a THC vape pen for nausea/pain, Klonopin for anxiety, comfy shoes and dressing in layers for heat/cold temp changes even if I end up looking totally out of style lol. My fold up cane. Pain medicine. Electrolytes. And a protein snack.

Going to my dad's less

I think exercise is really important for me but eating raw living foods really helps me emotionally

Sleeping every night.

Watching and recognizing first symptoms and modifying my actions to minimize megative effects. Some people may see this as losing to the illness, but i consider it winning. It puts me back in more control of my body.

Learning to pace myself and rest when needed has helped so much. It can be frustrating because I feel like I'm missing out on life, but having more energy and less pain is so important. Also, finding a medicine that manages my inflammation makes a huge difference.

Learning to listen to my body. It wasn't easy to learn, but it has helped so much

Reading the books of the Medical Medium and follow his protocols that eliminates the bad foods that feed the viruses, etc in the body causing the chronic disease and detoxing the toxins! Otherwise at 60 years of age had seen many doctors/specialists that had no answers…gave me a label of celiac disease to IBS …but the drugs did nothing and various diets tried failed. Researched and tried alternatives like FODMAPS; SCD diet; remove nightshade, lectins to trying Dr. Axe’s leaky gut program that also failed. In that particular program that offered private Facebook group for support and to chat with others, is where I was referred to the Medical Medium. My best results are from his protocols. Of course there will be much stated he is a scam…,,not in my book or from my health improvements. If a scam…best damn scam I’ve ever tried! My immune system is strong… I can leave my home again and enjoy life with chronic disease issues healing or healed…like dry eye, eczema, reflux, indigestion., healed numerous food intolerances…. reduced diarrhea issues drastically so I can be out and about without fear of accidents. So the protocols of the MM was the most accommodating for my chronic illnesses. Read his books…info on line..Facebook/Instagram/Pinterest and more. He’s not a scam but know why he’s labeled a scam……because he reveals the “truths” to the whys of chronic illness! We are to stay “dumbed down” about this info to keep taking drugs to going to doctors/hospitals! Unfortunately the medical system cares less about our HEALTH and keeps us unhealthy for their benefits! What the FDA allows in our food/water is disgusting. Our children/future of this world have a ridiculous increase in chronic diseases in children over past 50 years at the hands of so called “doctor” Fauci!!! 😱 Uncalled for ..shameful! For example. …a nasty bowel leakage issue was never resolved over all the doctors seen…to find when making bone broths for leaky gut program …needed filtered water. So bought a 5gal jug of reverse osmosis water and decided to drink and cook with this as jokingly I thought as I eliminated so many foods with not good results (before the MM) maybe it’s the water! Well in two weeks that nasty symptom started to heal.. and no drug or diet helped …to research what would be in water to affect my bowels!?!!! FLUORIDE!!!! Once I continually used filtered water and avoided any forms of fluoride, that bowel leakage symptom that started a year after moving to a city with fluoridated water, has not returned!!! I bought the Berkey water filtration system with add on fluoride filters ..ProOne now has a system with one main filter that also removes fluoride and they are compatible to the Berkey system. I avoided to continue with the reverse osmosis water as it removes beneficial minerals and is acidic! Not good for your health but thankful for it as it offered me the use of it to learn what my body was fighting against! Unfortunately all the doctors I told about simply avoiding the fluoride finally stopped the years of bowel issues …they didn’t care!!! BINGO!!!’ THEY DIDN’T …CARE..TO LISTEN! Our health organizations..like the dental organization…still endorse fluoride…a neurotoxin! Our environment to the drugs are toxic and causing so much disease. Yet we are all convinced that the medical system of the past 50+ years cares! 🤣

Getting rid of distractions including family

Ro relax and and zone out so if people call me I don't hear them

Putting my needs before pleasing others. Be a spectacular inconvenience if you need to 😉

Medical medium protocols. Emphasis on the Celery juice!

Walking and hiking. If I die from a heart attack, at least I'll have an amazing view

Spending time with my fiance. He keeps me distracted and helps me figure out what we should do to help me start feeling better. Idk if this counts, but it helps me :)

Figuring out what helps me when my dissosiation starts has helped me so much! And having a good support system that know what helps me, helps alot.

Switching to a low toxic lifestyle 💯

Relaxing when my body tells me too. As I'm always on the go.

Breathing deep breathing stay still and know it's going to be OK try to think positive

Finding a way I can do something even if it’s not the same as the way other people do it.

Learning to say that I can't. And resting

Isolating myself not going to pubs drinking not avoid alcohol and drugs only socialise with my old school friends and learning to say no I can't sorry I'm looking after me and my kids

My biggest lifestyle change was to actually reach out for help. I went from constantly wearing a mask of normalcy to being accepted and cared for. My team gives me the support I need, and even helped me move into a great place where I am accepted as I am.

Not working. Only problem is that the financial difficulties have been devastating:(
