Visit to naturopath

Well, since I didn't think the results from my general physician were good enough, I made an appointment with both my chiropractor and naturopath. First, my chiropractor adjusted me good this time, as always! Then he checked my abdomen cavity after adjusting my hips and noticed the swelling hasn't gone down. He asked if my pain from almost 2 months ago had gone away, I said no, not really. He said that is wasn't right, the swelling is definitely an inflammation somewhere in my abdomen, not good. My doctor did say to me last week when reading my u/s results that there is indeed some inflammation going on in the pelvic region. So I called my naturopath and made an appointment for next day. Meanwhile, I called the hospital where both copies of my ultrasound and CT scan were available, and then called my doctor's office to get a copy of my records for all visits this year. So off I went and collected all of my records and headed to the naturopath. I must say, you really find out more than you bargain for sometimes, LOL. After reviewing my blood tests and running his own test on me, we came to the conclusion that I have chronic appendicitis. However, not to be alarmed because we could support the lymph gland (appendix) by providing nutrients for the muscles around that area, boost my immune system to help with the inflammation, and help my lymph gland get stronger. I feel it's a step in the right direction. We also discussed why women have cysts in the pelvic area. He stated that most of the time cysts occur due to a hormonal imbalance. For real, b/c I am imbalanced all the time, right Jack? I have an appointment to go back there before Thanksgiving, unless God has plans otherwise! My gut says a laporoscopy (sp?) would be helpful, then we can confirm endometriosis or not and check all the female organs to see if there is any reason for infertility. Might as well look while you got the resources and the body open! LOL

So even though this website was intended for our adoption journey, it has been broaden with this information as some people struggle with infertility that lead them to adoption. We started this process whether biological kids were going to happen or not.

Please continue to pray for healing, or wisdom in which direction to go in regards to my body. Please pray we find time to continue our home study, so that starting our family and sharing the love we so desperately want to give to children can begin. Many thanks for your prayers and support!
