Today has been a week since I mailed off my spit test to the lab. I emailed the holistic healthcare professional I am going to be working with and she said as soon as she has the results she will be in touch. How long does it take to analyze a person's spit? As you can tell, I am NOT good at waiting! I am a type A, lets get it done, move over your doing this too slow, kinda person. Since I am at the mercy of something I cannot control, I guess I need to practice my deep breaths and learn some patience!
Not sure if I mentioned this before or not, but I was diagnosed with scoliosis at the age of 11. Now that I am in my mid 30s, I have started to really develop some health related problems as a result of my spine being shaped like an S. The chiropractor said that the adrenal fatigue was also a result of my lumbar spine being curved 37 degrees.
The chiropractor I see specializes in scoliosis correction, thank goodness, but I am in the beginning phases of some intense correction therapy. Can we say...I feel like I have the lower back of an 80 year old. Although I practice yoga 3-5 times a week, I now think I should be doing it 3 times a day! That seems to be the major release of the tightness and inflammation I feel in my lower back. I guess the saying "No pain, No gain", rings true to my life right now. But the fact that I have also gained almost 5 pounds doesn't make me very happy. According to the book I read on Adrenal Fatigue, this is a common problem, holding extra weight in your torso and upper thighs. Yep! That's me to a tee. It will not budge. This makes me even more anxious and ready to have a plan that I can put into action TODAY!!!
Yet, I am waiting and being taught to "be still". Very hard lesson for me to learn. If you are reading this and you are willing, please pray that I will be more patient and learn to relax, accept what I cannot control and be able to be still, so I can hear any instructions on how to heal myself from this syndrome! Thanks!
