instigators and attitudes
A phase...a phase that will pass as quickly as the last began...isn't that what we always hear...isn't that what I find myself telling other moms asking for my advice...
I have been trying to figure out how to summarize the last few weeks. I have not been feeling well for quite some time. Basically, I run bits of energy throughout the day and attempt to act as though I am fine...and, no, this overwhelming fatigue is not just a consequence of having three small children. Asking for help and delegating are not my strong points. Mark and I finally decided that I should see a doctor in Clarksville. After reviewing my symptoms and medical history, the doctor decided that we should start with an elimination diet and detox program. Once food allergies are uncovered or ruled out we can look for other problems. Dairy, soy, red meat, wheat, sugar, coffee, tea, tomatoes, potatoes, and some beans and peas are all among the long list of foods to avoid. With the help of some good friends, I have been able to figure out this diet and am following it as well as possible. Separating food from emotional lows, entertainment with friends, and filling a void has been the real obstacle.
