Since I was little I have had to take care of my health more than I most of the times I have gone to the doctor has not been preventive, but because it required it and sometimes urgently, I am a woman who is in the fourth decade and I recognize that if I had not had surgery before today I would not be writing this post, I have three operations in different parts of the body, I currently have a scoliosis, herniated and worn discs, but it has never been an option to operate my spine I also have other minor details 😂 tendinitis, atrophied meniscus, and a lot of pain in my knees, but that's not the worst, because my septum is deviated and part of the bone of my nose is so stuck that only one hole works for me having malformed adenoids, this without putting allergies caused by sinusitis.
When I was thirty years old, I felt very bad and I decided to change my lifestyle, I began to become aware of the diseases and their roots, I studied holistic, family constellations and I understood many things, I improved and I am still in the process of healing, a few months ago despite my pain I started to exercise in a gym to not have the excuse to quit the first weeks, my knees are better and in general I feel very well, that's why I decided to go to the gynecologist because I had several years without going, the main reason I was attending other parts of my body (knees with a traumatologist) and also taking care of my relatives, last year my brothers had surgery and I took care of them, I also take care of my 94 year old grandmother and in recent years I have also had to take care of my mother who is getting sicker every day.
So, I have stopped taking care of my health to take care of the other members of my family, about this I have one last anecdote, as I was saying before, the gynecologist did an echo in several parts of my body and found a problem in a kidney, but he did not give it more importance and that honestly made me happy. I thought my body would fix itself.
I am really worried about my mom who is in a lot of pain walking, in fact she is walking just like my grandmother, so we raised money to do some lab tests and I took her to the endocrinologist. My whole family suffers from thyroid, it is something we have been carrying since my grandfather. As I was going to take my mom to the endocrinologist, I also went last Saturday and this was the last medical check-up, but I went especially to take my mom, who does not walk well. In consultation I told my mom that I should go first, since I am the one who is healthier 🤣🤭 and then her, it turns out that my mom's tests came out well and she has her thyroid under control, they will continue to rule out her walking problem, with some injections of disinflammatory and for the pain she is better.
But I got something wrong, I do not have my thyroid under control and the doctor who is also an internist did not like the echo that I did months ago with the gynecologist and sent me to repeat it, she told me that anything that affects the kidney is of utmost care and for other symptoms that presented in the head also sent me to do an MRI with contrast, all this translates into a lot of money and is one of the main causes that people stop going to medical consultations, I have nowhere to get that money, my only income in hive.
Sometimes I don't want to get anything checked, because most likely they will find something, and I leave with a feeling of sadness, frustration and apathy. I feel better compared to previous years, I focused my attention on emotional and energetic wellness, but I feel that when I went one step forward I went two steps back in health issues. Two doctors noticed my kidney, so I have to see what is going on and fix this new detail, because the suit of my soul needs frequent repairs and a lot of maintenance.
I added images of my echo indicating a pyelectasis and of the doctor's orders to rule out a problem in Hipofisis. My memory has not been very good, this may be the origin; however, I wish my new tests come out well and it was all an imaging error 🥹🙏.
Going to the doctor wears us out emotionally, but we must do it and, if it is preventive, much better we will end up saving major problems and even money. When things have a solution, we must do them instead of postponing them.
