Guest guest Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 Hi guys, I know I seem to be posting alot but its helping me figure this all out. I couldnt sleep tonight because It dawned on me to travel back to the beginning to find out where something went wrong. I think it did all start in the beginning and went from there. If interested in my story please read on. If not I wont be offended if you jsut delete this. Here is where I get the inclination that my immune system is completely and utterly shot. I look in the mirror I see a beautiful young lady but on the inside I feel 50 years old. It started all in the beginning.... At 6months pregnancy my mother gave birth to me - weighing in at 2lbs I was embedded in a bag of infection that burst upon my delivery as well. I was in an incubator for 6 months before my mother was able to bring me home. (hence I am still very small) Formula fed Very poor disfunctional family, Physical abuse and not the right nutrition from birth to 12 years old. (My parents divorced when I was 5) I was physical beat to bloody pulps from the age of 6months on.... My mother left at 5years old and My father was my single abusive parent. I never saw my mother again till I was around 9yrs old and very little after that until 12 years old. 12 years old - my mother let me start smoking around her. 13 years old - I became bulimic (full fledged daily) 14 years old I became Anorexic (full fledged and mixed with bulimia) I hated food. !5 years old I was put into the hospital for Overdose of alcohol .40 blood level. and had been raped and left outside to die. 16 years old - pregnant (first one) still anorexic up to this point where my first health must of come on just from taking the prenatal vitamin religiously daily. 17 years old - my mother moved away before I hit 18 while I was staying at the fathers family house for a weekend . They were going on a fishing trip up north, came back moved there stuff and told me I had to get my stuff out of the house. 18 - moved into my own low income housing where food stamps where never offered. So I spent $20 a week on groceries for me and the rest of the extra went all to baby food. I would starve for my baby. 18 - moved my son to live with his fathers parents so I could go to college. 18- second teen pregnancy ( this man kicked me out of the house while I was 9months pregnant) and I was homeless. No choice but to give him up for adoption. 18 - became exotic dancer and never hardly ate. Drank, did three types sometimes 4 types of drugs along with the alcohol each and every night for the next 5 years. 19 - lost custody of my first son because I had no car to get to the court hearing for physical temporary placement of him in to the grandparents care till I finished college. 19- new boyfriend I moved in with found another girl and kicked me out taking all my belongings and burning them. 20 - Still Anorexic and bulimic- Still using street drugs. 23- met (my now husband) as I was in 1year college program trying to turn my life around. Still Bulimic 23 - pregnant with third child. Best I ever ate in my life. Became bulimic after her birth once again. 24 - constant more chronic stress (relationship issues) for the next 3 years. Still Bulimic on a daily basis. 25 - Finally became clean from all street drugs and alcohol. found out I had the thyroid problems after many years of them trying so many antidepressents. Went from size 4/5 to a size 12/14 in ONE year. found they had me on thyroid dose for a newborn not an adult. 26 - Started eating meat (was always vegan before) and not healthy vegan at that. Found a endocrinologist who got me on the right dose of thyroid medicane. 27 - Moved to this city now and began to learn about alternative health care, herbal care, how to help me help myself so to speak. 28 - Endomitriosis removed. 29 - 30 Struggled with trying to teach myself how to feed myself and my family properly and how to get all the drugs and bad stuff out of my body and how to rebuild my immune system which OBVIOUSLY had been hurt very very badly. ( I cant tell you how many times I stuffed and purged over all those years and used laxatives left and right) I am 30 years old now and now that I finally am getting a grasp on how to clean out my body and maybe rebuild my immune system. I am yet stuck again as to where to go. What path to journey on. No more pain, no more suffering is what I want. And yet when I try to explain my story of what I have done to my body over so many years and that there may be more underlying problems with my immune system. They say I am fine and its all in my head and that I just need to stay on my thyroid medicane. Sorry for the life detail, I just wanted to paint a picture not only for you but formyself as to how screwed up my insides must really really be. :-( Hugs and love to all. Hoping to find any info in Docs files on maybe repairing my Immune system before doing anything else. If this is the right step to take. Thanks in advance for any advise. (yes life is hard for me on a daily basis) but I try to make what I can of it. If God didnt let me die through all that crap and overdosing of Acid and alcohol - there must be a reason I am here.
