Accepting Myself

I know me. I understand me. I know what makes me happy, angry and sad. I know what I like and dont like. Im constantly evolving. Im not perfect. I make mistakes. I am a health nut. Runner. Advocate for nutrition. Im an asthmatic. I have allergies. My body is weaker than some. But I am strong. I am a fighter.

The past few months have been a whirlwind of sorts. I have been dealt my fair share of minor health problems. Ive been dealing with sharp pains in my abdomen/uterian area only to come to find ovarian cysts. Ive had rashes that no doctor can figure out, other than possible allergic reactions, even though nothing in my daily routine had changed. Ive had the flu and an upper respiratory infection all in a short 3 months. You would think my 27 year old body was shutting down, but its still fighting.

Yesterday I had a slew of tests done for my asthma. Im not sure what any of it means yet. I have no information on any of it. What I do know is, I dont want to be on any heavy steriods or other meds. I want to find a natural way to take care of my asthma. I want to be smart about it too. I exercise at least 5 times a week and yet I still struggle daily to breathe. I dont want this hindrance, when exercise should be helping. I want answers as to what I can do and what I need to change in my lifestyle. I hate having to deal with this, but I also know Im strong enough to handle whatever gets thrown at me. I will keep working too find an answer. I will keep fighting.

Peace&Love
