Hello my friends and a Happy New Year. After my life imploding as it did in 2022, I find myself healthier, happier and at peace. I am proud that I still am rocking 100 miles a month for my life vitality besides at least 20 minutes of aerobic activity every day with a minimum of 8000 daily steps. It seems my body is better and my health symptoms are reversing: Asthma, Diabetes II and inflammation. That physical activity and staying away from Corn and ALL of it's by products have also been so beneficial. Thank God.
Come to fine out I am highly sensitive to it as it raises all my inflammation blood components and also inflames me so much that it takes at least 1/3 of my breath away if exposed to it so now I even carry an Epi pen. Of course the stress I was under maintaining my home and assisting my "then husband" with his health,... leading him towards his heart Transplant and all the care afterwards while I suffered I now realize that the STRESS I endured was not an asset. While he was in the hospital for 3 months awaiting a compatible heart donation the Drs. would come in and ask who is the patient? I jokingly said "the one in the bed" if that is any indication of how labored my breath was. Coughing all the time, several elimination diets for a month or two and even in years for some food groups (gluten), so many tests, my perpetual exhaustion, O2 levels reduced, numerous medications, inhalers, Steroids, antibiotics, treatments on my nebulizing machine (9X daily) aka 3 hours a day. Appointments with 9 Doctors and 6 of those being specialists of one body part or another, all trying to find a cause/solution. ANYHOW, while treating myself to a matinee and I had started intermittent fasting around that time per my Doctor's recommendations (? 2024), I bought a bag of popcorn for my breakfast at noon. Them started coughing so much, even worse, which lead me to consider, CORN? Many trials and more appointments later and YEP! it was CORN ! My pulmonologist asked me how did I ever figure this out. It truly had been a 16 Year Quest.
So now After my heart break due to my Husband's infidelity and betrayal which actually happened throughout our whole marriage (48.5 years) as it turns out, I am good. Happy and Thriving and creating again.
