10 months ago this week I was 215lbs and climbing, I had migraine headaches everyday sometimes two or three times in a 12 hour period, constant excruciating pain every time I would eat anything, feeling like shards of glass as it passed through my digestive system and most coming out undigested, sometimes I would move a certain way and the spasms would come because I have a disk in my neck that is damaged weak due to degenerative disk disease and I would get micro fractures in because the connective tissues were weak also and stretched or tore and could no longer keep it in place, was told if I didnt have surgery it would get worse and eventually cripple me. I was told regular exercise was not good or recommended for me and would just cause me further injuries. I was told eventually my digestive system would shut down and I would not be able to absorb nutrients and it was all irreversible damage and no supplements, no dietary changes and no exercises would have any impact on these conditions whatsoever! I was told pain management. Invasive surgeries, and those types of treatments were my only options and would never really have a good quality of life again! I would just survive and then probably eventually die at a younger age. So you see! When someone tells me, What you do wont help me or effect my condition! or You cant understand my pain! or You just dont understand or know what your talking about!, I do tend to come off strongly only because I want them to understand that I do care, that yes! I do understand, and I only want them to experience what I have and, so, I have to just back off and then just keep the door open so hopefully they will choose to walk through one day, when they are ready, and that is not an easy task for me to do.
