The human body is resilient. It fights toxicity long and hard. But there is always the last straw before everything crashes down and everybody looks for that specific incident or cause to blame. It is true that usually, there is one big trigger before the body breaks down. In reality, the journey into chronic illness is long & often unseen. Here is my journey into chronic illness from the beginning.

1. Ever since I knew my body, I had acid reflux. I was told my mom used to walk with me on her shoulder all night till I turned 3.
2. At the age of 4, I had the beginning stages of Vitiligo. For the next 3 years, I was on pharmaceuticals continuously.
3. By the age of 7, I had experienced chronic abuse, which greatly influenced my health.
4. Around 10, I started having vision issues which nobody believed. It took many doctor visits to get someone to prescribe glasses. By the time I finally received my glasses, I was 12!
5. As a teenager, I knew I had thyroid issues. I was told there is nothing wrong with me, I was just a moody spoiled kid.
6. Around 19, I was given a massive dose of a homeopathic remedy which altered my personality and body drastically.  This was my first taste of the darkness. I felt old, wasted and my hair started turning grey! My cousin, a homeopathic practitioner, caught it 3 months later and prescribed an antidote. I was told the damage that was done and it can not be reversed. It took another 2 months to find some normalcy.
7. After I came to the US, another set of health issues showed up. I went through a few more years of pharmaceuticals and eventually, I found a good Homeopath. He helped bring some sanity in my life. I finished my schooling and started work.
8. A side effect of American work culture is eating out. I ate out almost 3-4 days a week, which started creating havoc in my life. Doctors or I, couldn’t connect the dots.
9. This pushed me to start researching on my own. I started a regular practice of yoga and dived into Ayurveda.  I did multiple rounds of Pancha Karma. The next 6 yrs of my life were much easier.
10. When I birthed my daughter, recovery took 2 years. Doctors said it is normal in some people. After visiting more doctors, I decided to stick with Ayurveda which I knew very well by then. I started learning Homeopathy as well.
11. When applying for a government authorization I was asked to produce my vaccine records, which i didn’t have. I was forced to take majority of the prescribed vaccines within a span of few months. This began another decline in my health. Again, nobody connected the dots.
12. When I was 35, my mom passed away. Those were the darkest days of my life. My health came crashing down. I could not work any longer. I was confined to my bedroom. This was my last straw.
13. The yearly checkup blood tests showed the liver and kidney enzymes off. My numbers were looking exactly like my mom’s when she started getting sick. This started the frenzy to find a cure. I consulted many doctors, specialists, alternative practitioners and naturopaths. Each would pinpoint a different symptom and refer me to another specialist, or tell me that its all in my head or that it is “auto-immune.” This was the same path my mom went through.
14. I was told I was peri-menopausal at the age of 35!!
15. By Fall of 2013 the couch became my island. I worked with the best practitioners I could find in every available alternative modality and energy work. Everything worked for a bit but not fully. I already spent a boat load of money for nothing.
16. By 2014 I was functional for about an hour a day.  All I could do was to get ready for the day and may be play 30 minutes with my daughter – with breaks in between. I missed seeing my child grow even when she was right in front of my eyes. Walking 10 feet would take all the energy I had. Grocery shopping was a major chore. I was afraid to drive due to sudden and debilitating muscle cramps. I could sense muscles were losing their ability slowly. I was being dragged towards a non-functioning body. I knew if I continued on the same path, I’d be in vegitative state soon. I was wishing for death.

Here are all the symptoms I had.

All this seems so far away now. Currently, I am independent, free to do the work I absolutely love, as a health coach.
