I have decided to branch out some to YouTube. Not sure where I am going with that but this is my first attempt. Not sure where this idea will take me. All I know is since Dr. Jack clear up my brain fog, I just can’t stop the ideas from coming.

My dead zone is waking up??
About six years ago, I had to have back surgery, a time I try to forget as much as possible. I had been misdiagnosed with fibromyalgia and had taken a whole bunch of medication I didn’t need. I knew there was something else wrong. And once again it was a situation where the doctor was not listening to me.
I switched doctors to a new primary who knew me a long time and so he listened to me. He knew I was telling him the truth. After one round of physical therapy, he sent me to see a neurosurgeon, and a week later I was having surgery, not for anything like fibromyalgia but for a cherry tomato sized tumor that was attached to my spinal column and pushing on my spinal cord. The tumor was thankfully benign.
Finally, an answer to why I couldn’t feel my feet on the ground any more, and why my skin felt as though it was on fire ALL the time. I couldn’t feel anything in my feet or legs and it was miraculous I could still walk. After the surgery, the neurosurgeon told me that some spots of feeling would return and other things especially the line of the surgery might be dead zones. Luckily I got most sensations in my legs and lower abdomen back but my back still had dead zones.
When will I be finished?
Someone asked me yesterday when I will be finished…… wasn’t sure what that meant, so I asked more questions. The person asked me when I would be done with the learning portion of what Dr. Jack does and when would I be able to eat like a “normal’ person. Hmmmm…. I guess my most honest answer to that is, “Never.”
Why do my eyes look weird?? Gosh! Those are eyelashes!!
There is a lot you take for granted when you don’t have Hashimoto’s disease. Little by little you lose things, and you learn to live without them so long you forget that you even had them. One of those is your eyelashes or what’s left of them.

No chocolate bunnies for me…
I kind of always knew that sugar and I had a dysfunctional relationship. I could always tell when we spent too much time together, because after I ate it, I just didn’t feel all that great. I enjoyed it at the moment but later I was sluggish and tired. My joints got achy. My skin got itchy, my face returned to teenage zits that popped up and many times I got a cold sore. Now I think, duhhhhhhhhhhhhhh….
Nancy? I know what an endorphin is now!
If you have been reading here, you know I put up a huge fuss with Dr. Jack about going to see Nancy Hughes. There was a lot to that, but one of my biggest fears was my total lack of coordination. If you say move left, I feel like one of those children who needs their shoes labeled so I know which way you mean. I seriously have bruises everywhere from walking into furniture. I am extremely uncoordinated.
Dr. Jack and the photo….
The other day I was cleaning off things from my iPad. I often snapshot documents, and things I want to remember until I move them to places I file. I spotted the “picture.” I sat staring at it for a long time, remembering, thinking about the day I saw it and the response it brought from deep inside me.
I know it’s hard to believe that this is the cure….
I kno
w it’s difficult. You are scared. So many people have made promises that were never kept. Doctors told you that all you had to do was take the little pill, and it would all be fine. But it’s never been fine since. And someone comes along and tells you they can change all of that. You want to believe him, but you are afraid. How do you know what he is saying is right? Didn’t all the other ones promise they were also right? Sigh…. That’s what I read every day.

My new problem….. A silly, funny problem post….
If you have been following me, you know that I have lost over seventy pounds with Dr. Jack, partnertohealth.com. I also lost all my Hashimoto symptoms! But, I gained a whole bunch of new problems, too. Trust me, they are awesome problems! Silly, funny problems, but they are definitely problems.
For example? Nothing fits right anymore…. Seventy pounds is great, but it is not where I need to be and no way am I stopping here. The problem is that the clothes I wore seventy pounds ago don’t fit anymore. I don’t have a lot of extra money to spend on new clothes all the time. I get a pair of pants and they fit great, for about two months, and then they don’t! I don’t want to buy new pants every two months.
Why live with Hashimoto’s when you don’t have to?
Since I started writing my blog about my experience with Dr. Jack Saia, partnertohealth.com, I get a lot more email and messages on Facebook. Sometimes, on websites, I read about people who suffered like I did. My heart goes out to them, so I post what I finally did that cured me. I get a lot of people who message me, some who post snarky comments, and a few who criticize. A lot of them though, are just looking for answers. I know how many years I spent looking for answers, reading blogs, posting in forums, and asking anyone for advice.
