In my ‘two-months-versary’ after the formal diagnosis, I was no longer experiencing brain fog, debilitating physical pain or lack of energy by mid-afternoon. I knew all the research I had completed, and the new healthy rhythms I was implementing were having a significant impact on my overall health.
I had enough energy to attend Church in the morning, enjoyed a healthy meal for lunch, made my first mosaic lamp in less than three hours, joined a virtual discipleship group for another hour in the evening, then watched a movie with my husband. Yes, I was a bit tired, but I was able to carry out all types of activities on a restful Sunday and remained joyful throughout the day.
I cannot wait to share with you what I am learning every day. This is the reason I decided to blog on a regular basis, so other women could benefit from practical strategies that is making a difference in my life.

My last memory of debilitating Hashimoto Thyroiditis…
I remember having intense muscle and joint pains in July 2024 at sunrise. My body would be ‘stiff’ and could hardly move in the mornings. I even wondered if I was going to die prematurely!
I was so miserable.
My health was rapidly deteriorating. It was quite challenging, indeed. I would drink coffee often during the day just to remain awake for all Telehealth appointments. By 2 pm, I would crash on our living room couch with no energy. The brain fog, digestive issues, adrenal gland fatigue, anxiety, hair loss and weight gain were just few of the symptoms I experienced prior to the official medical diagnosis. I knew I was working 7 days/week,12 hours. shift so I thought it was stress related.
It never crossed my mind I was going to start learning Japanese (a foreign language) when I heard the official medical diagnoses of Hashimoto Thyroiditis condition.
Some practitioners may address it from a disease model. I prefer to view it as a medical condition that can remain stable with minimal flare-ups or symptoms if we can find out the root of the problem.
