So I've stumbled upon something that I think might be very beneficial in my recovery process. I'm no scientist, so I won't even begin to try to explain it in detail, but apparently it's like brain exercises to help heal and retrain the limbic system that has gone a little haywire in some chronic illness states. I think this is an issue for me, so I plan on adding this to my routine each day.
I'm pretty sure this isn't the whole picture (like nothing ever seems to be) but I'm hopeful that it will be a positive part of the healing puzzle fore me!

All the King's Horses and All the King's Men
I'm 34 years old, have a great husband and 4 wonderful kids and have been pretty darn sick for more than 7 years. People that know me say that I don't look sick, but take my word for it, please. :)
My journey has been LONG and BUMPY and I've learned a lot! When you are faced with chronic illness, you find out that traditional medicine has its place, but can only take you so far. You learn that you must look outside the box if you want to reclaim your health. You get all excited when you discover there is a whole world of alternative medicine, only to realize that it is a jungle in and of itself.
The light really turns on when you see that in order to navigate through this whole crazy thing, you have to work hard, pray hard, and listen to the inner voice that can guide you through it all.
So maybe "all the king's horses and all the king's men" couldn't put Humpty together again but I do believe that "all the kings horses and all the king's men" can combine their efforts with Humpty Dumpty and the king himself to work through it all, piece by piece.
So here it is...my musings on the ups and downs of healing chronic illness.
