What I do know: I know stress makes these conditions worse, I know I can have a full night's sleep and still wake up dead tired and I know to listen to my body. I do yoga almost every single day and I can't sing its praises enough. It makes me feel so much better and often is enough to make the difference between a good and bad day. Starting this new job has thrown a whole new set of challenges into the ring. I am now the main earner in the family, I am sitting on my bum roughly eight hours a day and meal times are all over the place. No stress there!!
So I can't quit my job right now, hey, I like to eat! But I can minimize the impact. My doc is looking for an integrative medicine practice nearby. I get up and move on my lunch hour, I am pushing to get more fruits and veggies into my diet and try to decrease the amount of stress I cause myself on a daily basis.
If you are struggling with auto-immune conditions of any kind, please share your journey. If you are in remission, share anyway, you might be on to something that can help someone else. I am a big believer in community. The more we share, the more answers are found.
