Randi's Ramblings

Today I am on here to vent-This seems to be a safe place to come and let some frustrations out as I've been dealing with a lot lately. It is so crazy to go back and read my blog from last August and read my post...There are SO many things that are still the same, and so many things that are different.

In fact-one of those things, I  was recently diagnosed with Hashimoto's Disease and Hypothyroidism, which explains A LOT of things that I've been feeling over the course of the last year and a half or so. I honestly thought I was going crazy. Between never feeling like I was getting better-after my bout of pneumonia last winter, the depression, hair falling out/thinning, my hands and feet always being cold, the brain fog (at the time-I didnt know it had a name), the weight gain, & the fatigue, ALL of it-is a product of the disease that I am now plagued with...

So, NOW-not only am I trying to figure out my life with being a single, childless, 36 year old female... but I get to add Autoimmune disease to the list of things to worry about. My allergist diagnosed me a few weeks ago, and it has been tough. In order to start feeling better,

 I have to change my ENTIRE diet.

I am no longer supposed to eat any: 

Gluten, Dairy, Eggs, Almonds, or Blueberries-as my top 5 things. That is ONLY the top 5... My actual blood test of what I am allergic to is a LOT more restrictive, the list of "No's" includes: Rice, Soy, Corn, Beef, Pork, Apples, Bananas, Oranges, Grapes and Pineapple... among other things. 

On a side note:

I have re-started dating a guy that I dated over the winter, and things are (so far) going really well... He and I have a shit ton in common, and get along really well-so I have high hopes for it! Fingers crossed! 

Anyway, this will be my outlet space for awhile, so here's to many more posts... 

Silvers, Out!
