Well, I've been a busy little bee. I've decided to go to the doctor for all of the check-ups appointments etc that I've been putting off for too long. I'm super excited because my blood work came back so good. My efforts to eat better are paying off! My cholesterol, blood sugar, everything, is normal! My blood pressure is also normal! Yay! I have been struggling with high blood pressure, high cholesterol and blood sugar for years.
Hippocrates - "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food"
That's been my philosophy for last couple of years and it is paying off! YAY!
I've also been plagued with vertigo. I've had it off and on for most of my adult life. But since January it has been plaguing me almost nonstop. So I went to my doctor for that as well. After she ruled out nerve damage and I don't remember what all, she just kind of said "bummer." She gave me a referrral to a hearing and balance center to test for Benign Positional Vertigo. But they wouldn't take our insurance... argh. So I did a little more research on my own and found tons of videos on youtube about how to test for and treat vertigo. There's something called the Epley (sp?) maneuver. Oh my gosh it works. This last week is the best I've felt in four months! During those last four months my vertigo has been so bad I couldn't do much of anything and as a result, I've gained even more weight- joy. BUT I feel like I'm finally able to start exercising again. What a relief. Time to dust off the treadmill:-)
FULL OF WIN!
