How Chronic and Systemic Illness can change a person.
I guess the biggest impact for you to actually SEE chronic illness, is to see me BEFORE illness, DURING, and AFTER. This is the reason why in 2020 when I went to revisit my neurologist he asked if I was the same patient, so I had to produce some photo evidence for him, and this is what I had come up with. I have intentionally kept my “snake print shirt, and wear it on occasion to remind myself how far I have come in progress. It’s not about the weight loss for me, it’s about the fact I keep what I personally call “anti-aging”.
With my experience, I believe there is a direct correlation between Neurotoxicity, Chronic Illness, Chronic Stress, Chronic Anxiety, Chronic Pain and Aging. It all goes back to damaging your brain. The more I feed my brain, the better I continue to feel. The rest of it is a bonus! At the height of my illness in 2019 I had the following illnesses: Neuropathy, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, Mold Toxicity, Interstitial Cystitis, Fibroids, Endometriosis, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, Paresthesia of my veins and carotid Arteries, Fatty Liver, Tremors, Seizures, and was diagnosed with Dementia. I could no longer, read, remember, put together sentences easily, or have a full-blown conversation or use big words at all, most basic words I couldn’t remember, I was beginning to suffer from Aphasia.
