Never Give Up, Never Surrender

This is week two of double doctors appointments daily. Wow that is a tongue twister. I am so thankful that I have found this health and wellness clinic that is so dedicated to my health. It is so refreshing to have a clinic that actually has an interest in not suppressing my immune system but rather trying to find ways to normalize it.

Sarcoidosis is an auto-immune disease, which means your immune system is in over-drive and is attacking itself. Because there is no cure for this disease, western medicine wants to suppress it through the use of steroids and other immuno-suppessents. Many people do not do well and even get worse while on these drugs, like I did. So we have had to continue to search for answers to help us in finding something that will put this disease into remission.

It can be a very long and treacherous road trying to find something that works. But one thing I know for sure I WILL NOT GIVE UP!!! I WILL NOT SURRENDER TO THIS DISEASE. I am determined to find a cure or at least something that will put me into remission.

FInding this wellness clinic is just another step in the right direction for me. I am having more better days than I did before. I know that this will be a long journey and not a sprint.  I know I must be patient as we search and seek out a cure.

Today I found gratitude in:
1. My hubby who never complains when he has to use his days off work to take me to my two appointments daily.
2. The temporary relief I found after my appointments today
3.  FAMILY who I can always count on to be by my side.
4. A Phone call from family who offered support and encouragement to never give up
5. Knowing and having a firm resolution that I must never give up or surrender to this disease.
