What's Going On with My Health

I haven't said too much about my difficulties lately. .. accept to say that my symptoms have made a definite diagnosis possible. Until now. Yay I have an official disease! My doctor finally takes my symptoms seriously. ... I'm sure all my chronically I'll friends can appreciate my happy level over this... even though I've been assured it's Psoriatic Arthritis. **Sadly, a bit late as my disease has progressed, but not beyond hope... **which means that against all I've been taught by my parents since birth...to avoid Western Medicine at all cost...no longer works and I am on (serious) medication that has (serious side effects.) ... sucks ... however, tangent ...despite what many of my more 'out there' friends (and I use that phrasing because these are my people, I have been one of the outer fringe my whole life and I love that we'reout here together) I have not "caved to fear" or "stopped believing in my own power to heal".. I prefer to think I am approaching a serious issue from all angles... ahem, back to what I was saying I'm still mostly raw vegan, I'm still meditating, I'm still practicing reiki, lighting candles, walking circles, and surrounding myself with healing crystals, I yoga, sungaze, and practice grounding... *Heartbrokenly, I'm not seeing clients until my meds and new lifestyle even out. it may be thirty days .. it may be longer. I'll contact my regular tarot and reiki receivers individually. **Sadly, I am not dancing on a regular schedule because my feet are still my biggest issue, but am hopeful that if the weather breaks I will be. I just can't risk tearing a foot tendon ... **Double sadness... I am not writing... brain fog is a real thing. I am hoping that over time the meds relieve this most stubborn symptom. ***I guess what it all boils down to... it has been a long hard lonely winter... and for all of you sharing posts that make me smile, or for sharing something about yourself that I didn't know, or posted medical and political updates.. Thank You. (I've kept my comment sections private for awhile but feel free to comment and I will see them. Not sure when or if I will turn them back on as most of what I've been going through has been emotional struggle)
