Your Health Comes First

Thank you for this reminder.

“Your health and peace of mind should always come first.”

Thank you also for this one.

“Ladies, this is your reminder to get checked up regularly. Don’t ever put that off. Nourish and take care of your body. Be EXTREMELY ruthless with whom you let into your life — it will affect you in the end. DROP ANYONE, with no hesitation, who is anything but supportive and kind towards you.

Try your best to stay positive, resilient, and gentle with yourself. Feel what you need to feel but never let it consume you.”

I need to get my check ups and health related medical tests done this year.

This is an excellent post. One of my good friends is currently going through treatment for stage 4 ovarian cancer (treatment will not lead to a "cure" but hopefully will extend her life and give her better quality of life). I hope you don't mind if I piggyback on this post to say, please get your screenings but also, there is no screening for ovarian cancer - that is why it is called the "silent killer". Catching it in an early stage is rare. Always pay attention to your body. If something is not right, you need to advocate for yourself and do not allow doctors to dismiss you. Especially as we get older, into our 40s+, doctors start to blame everything on menopause/peri menopause. If you experience intramenstrual bleeding, extended constipation, extreme or unusual bloating, feeling like your belly is "hard", or unexplained weight loss, these are all possible signs of a gynecological cancer. As women we are prone to being blamed and blaming ourselves for our own health. Yes, diet and lifestyle are important, but if you are experiencing symptoms get checked out and advocate for yourself early - real medical issues cannot be cured by changing your diet or exercising more. /PSA over, be well!

So true. I really hope you will get the medical care you need in the new country. I developed one autoimmune disease at 18 and by the time I was 22, it went back into remission. At the age of 30 I had a demanding full time job with a supervisor who was bullying me. I decided to take on a weekend job, goodness knows why because I didn't really need the money. After 4 months of this and many sleepless nights lost to worry, not only did my autoimmune disease reactivate, I got another one on top! Then last year I got another one, which coincided with fighting Covid-19. Stress is a killer and it isn't worth it. Life is tough without your health.
