My journey to improve my health began January 1, 1997 when my New Years resolution was to become healthier.  I had  been a nurse for 12 years and had been working in the cardiac rehab department for the past 6 years teaching patients about healthy diet and exercise.  I began a walking program before work and had decided to take colloidal vitamin and mineral supplements to improve my health.  I had a horrible reaction to the vitamin and mineral supplement due to the gold that I am allergic to being one of the trace minerals in this supplement.  I ended up in the ER twice in one weekend and had to go on high dose steroids.  I  gained weight and had to work really hard to take it off.  I was celebrating my 15 year class reunion that summer so I worked really and walked every morning before work and managed to get my weight back under control before the reunion.  Shortly after my reunion I started to feel really ill.  I was totally exhausted and felt like I had the flu but it never got any better.  I went to see my physician and he ran multiple test over a period of several months and we could not come up with an answer.  He sent me to one specialist and still no answer.  He finally sent me to see a Rheumatologist and he diagnosed me with Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.  When I went back to my doctor and told him the diagnosis he said that we did not want that diagnosis because he could not fix me.  I then set out on a long journey to bring myself back to health.  I started learning everything that was out there about the condition which was very limited at that time.  The Rheumatologist gave me some great advice about getting back to my exercise program so I began to walk every morning before work and when I started it was difficult for me to walk for 10 minutes because of the pain and fatigue but I did it every morning and it became easier.  I have become addicted to my morning exercise and I attribute that to the reason that I was able to remain functional.  I was living like the rest of the world with poor food choices, not enough sleep and not eating God given foods. I decided at that point in time if I was to regain my health I had to live my life differently and take care of the body that God had given me so that I could do the job that God was going to entrust to me.  I will share with you what I have learned on my way  that I believe is what God teaches in His word on how to keep His temple healthy.
