They call us warriors but I am the most feeble-bodied fighter around





It actually rained yesterday late in the afternoon, that is after some heat raging from early morning and I thought that it will rain until night time however it didn't but at least it gave a relief for some people who are not using an A/C system in their homes.
As for me I like the heat because again it serves my health some good effect because it makes me get rid of extra water and toxins through perspiration. In fact it has a great impact about my overall well-being although I am uncomfortable all the time.
I only get to experience the comfort of being in an A/C room until the cool environment gets too cool for comfort because my limbs will begin to feel like cadaver in coldness. That is what I do not like having an A/C which I cannot control because the temperature in the dialysis treatment area is either not enough or too cold.
I am only able to endure the cool air because I am using a big and long fuzzy socks which can reach up to my thighs, a thick blanket, a blanket over that, and the same long and fuzzy arm warmer which covers my hands and still I have to tuck my hand in to my blanket to prevent my hands to get cold.
The problem lies to the fact that I have less fat in my body so I do not have a better natural insulation against the cold although I can tolerate using cold water when I take my bath but of course not long enough to bask in it for the reason that I would start to shiver.
I already experienced many instances of shivering after taking a shower because of my past case of anemia where even if the weather is hot, I will shiver enough to make me cover myself in blanket. But now that I am not anemic anymore compared to more than a decade ago, it is a thing of the past for me but not quite totally impervious to cold because of my very thinned-out body.
I am trying to put some real mass to my weight but it is just impossible since I can't eat that much food because of my diet restriction. If I were to consume normal amounts of food then it will have so much complication like creating imbalances to my blood and then I will just suffer the consequences like what happened to my bone integrity due to unmanaged health condition.
It is because dialysis treatment itself was only my priority to get as I do not have the means back then to afford buying even calcium carbonate tablets, accomplish laboratory requests, nor having the awareness about such complications in happening. But thankfully I stopped with the mercy of God, the damage being done by secondary hyperparathyroidism although I am still not 100% sure about my current condition if it will continue to improve because I do not think that I will survive if another one major health issue will pop-out. But I am not losing hope to achieve a better life in the future but I had been long due already for getting a diploma for graduating from this world and because of that, anything can still happen whether I like it or not because the world is round.
Talking about fighting against my body's health issues, there are lots of them and to say the least they are overwhelming and I guess that the only thing that supports me was the mercy of God. Managing my condition is like balancing a triangle on a table on its pointy head with tree crazy monkeys sitting on the same table. I mean even if I would carefully manage my body's imbalances, my long-term future will still end-up in defeat because something has to give sometimes and will be a major factor for saying "time's up" for me.
Like many people, I still have a lot of things that I want to accomplish and I hope that God will give me more patience, mercy, and grace for what I want to do in my life which is just to live normally and not suffering like what I am still going through although again I had lots of improvements about my health compared to many people with similar condition which didn't do well but ended-up as another statistic of medical condition tragedy. But despite of my uninteresting peculiar life, I still want to fight and excel this type of fate until God decides to take my spirit away, but while I am still breathing and kicking, my life has to go on because after all, I feel that God is working on my life because I chose God to be included in my life like we all all should do.

I am praying for your health recovery. Too bad there are many poelpe who abuse their health by drinking too much alcohol and eating unhealthy foods.
Thank you @tonyoi23 I appreciate your kind sympathy and prayers, may God bless you always.
A good and clean bill of health is not only wealth but a gift from God himself because it is a great blessing to live life normally with normal appetite, strength, sleep, and feeling good all the time and lots of people doesn't realize how fortunate really are until they lose one body part or function or get sick.
As much as possible we must make other people aware about guarding their health because our bodies are God's temple and we have to value it by choosing the right lifestyle and of course including God in our lives.
Best regards to you.😀💗💗💗
I wonder how many people are still born healthy. If it comes to sleep I have doubts even 10% has a good night rest. Bad health, worries, stress, too much work are all good for nightmares and lack of sleep.
The process of sickness begins even while the child is developing in their mother's womb in some cases such as mine because my mother had told me while I am still in her womb I am not moving as much like my brothers do when she is pregnant with them so she thought that I was finally a girl which they are trying to have.
At one year old of age I brought to the hospital in the city and had one bag of blood infused to me because I think that blood tests revealed that I was anemic, the reason that I was broth to hospital as advised by our senior neighbor because he noticed that I was crying all day and maybe all night and cannot be pacified by mother which is already tired dancing with me in her arms but to no avail.
No wonder I can't sleep and crying non-stop because I am already suffering from one hallmark symptom of brewing Kidney disease process which later revealed to be an autoimmune origin which means many immune cells sticking to the filter in my kidneys and forming scars until the Kidney function ceased. Years prior to that I suffered weakness, headaches, chronic fatigue syndrome, flank or pain on my loins, Recurring fever every two weeks for years 1992-94, I need to use an antibiotic, Nephritic (tea colored pee caused by blood seepage) to nephrotic syndrome (Edema of face and lower legs up to thigh legs in later stages) and then Kidney failure.
I am just describing my case of being sick right before I was born but most of us now living in this dangerous world, we are facing contamination of even non-processed foods like for example fish caught at sea based on the age and size of the fish alone has lots of Mercury, enough to affect the development of the baby of conceiving mothers so they are advised not to consume much fish caught at sea while farmed fish are fed with feeds with harmful to the consumers.
So even if we trying to be healthy, the presence of "forever chemicals" can harm us as the so called PFAS and some of its variants and its current alternatives accumulates in all human and animal bodies and in the long term based on exposure will eventually poison us, enough to give us certain diseases causing death.
Unfortunately PFAS and its variants are widely used in our everyday lives, in our gadgets, appliances, food containers, not to mention non-stick pans, fire fighting equipment and chemicals to fight fire etc.
I mean, the least we can do is to watch out what we eat, I might getting poisoned by Moringa powder for all I know but we just have to have awareness for of everything so that at least it will make a difference particularly in our health. Miss @wakeupkity

Some children are already ill in the womb but it's rarely caused by a lack of the mother unless she has a serious infection or has a very unhealthy lifestyle.
I was born a month early and cried day and night. No way my mother tried to keep me silent. I could also not eat, but she shoved me in the bathroom, trying not to hear me. I ended up in the hospital for a very long time as a few months old.
I have been a test rabbit for many years in hospitals, with numerous doctors and never felt healthy or rested, and my skin smelled like a pharmacy. So, years ago, I decided to stop with all the nonsense and take medication. I already gave up on the doctor visits. The specialists said I cannot do it and my kidneys and organs would give up on me. So I said: If that happens, it's fine. If I die, I die.
I didn't die, and a few times per year I have hard moments, but somehow I still survive. I believe a strong will keeps me alive,e and I never had that much energy as I was a child. So I truly believe they kept me sick; it's the same with all the injections. I learned that most doctors have zero interest and the best doctor and person who knows how your body responds is me (and it's you).
I will no longer check since no point in it, and I believe I am like my grandmother. You know she was already on her deathbed when I was 7 years old. She had a rare blood disease similar to haemophilia, nevertheless she reached a high age although her kidneys and many organs gave up on her. Perhaps it is character or the fact that she survived the Japanese concentration camp, or had children or was simply a fighter, although very realistic.
We are never sure what causes certain diseases. I also don't believe boys are more active in the womb than girls are. Children are different and they also respond on the mood of the mother and the sounds they hear. Some children of drug addicts are healthy while others of healthy living parents are ill.
I believe we will never find out what caused it and can only guess. It would be good if we all live a healthy life but the fact is that if I look back with us healthy food always been expensive. Fruits, meat, fish, dairies. It's kind of strange since we have it all but for at least the past 40 years the government wants us to stop eating it. For sure this also causes many health issues which we frequently notice when people get older since the lack of nearly every vitamin and mineral doesn't always show immediately.
The nose bleeding sounds familiar. I had them for many years and as a child I could barely arrive at school or back home before the next one started. The only plus is that I feel it if the bleeding starts even if it's not noticed and it's not as bad as when I was a 5 or 6 year old.
Today I am sure the doctors and all tests and medication made me sick.
Friend, did you notice I started being a witness? I hope you will vote for me. I like to promote commenting and engagement.
The witness name is @wakucat. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

It broke my heart to learn that you had a bad time when you are still just few months old and then later on the succeeding years because of your medical condition, was it the Hemophilia?
I empathize with you because it is hard to treat as it is genetic and hereditary, no wonder you visited hospitals frequently in the past. But be brave because I believe that you have your own way of dealing with it but I will do pray for your condition, I am just surprised to know that all along I was talking to a friend which is also a going through a difficult life, a warrior with her own fight against an invisible foe. It explains why you have a deep empathy with me.
You are indeed a brave soul, smart and tough and I am glad that your grandmother had been your inspiration to survive your serious health condition because hemophilia is no joke and I am just praying that you will not have as much bad time in your life with it, succumbing as your doctors had told you but just do what you know is right for you, I am praying for you.
With regards to voting your witness, I really feel embarrassed to say that I already committed my proxy vote to visionaer3003, the owner of the curation account suntr. We had an agreement for the suntr curation account plus other extra vote at 100% weight on my post once a day as a compensation for my vote for his witness, i.e. proxy vote. I also delegated my stake for earning 900 STEEM tokens peer week.
But I have the option of getting 1000 STEEM tokens per week but without anymore 100% weight vote from the curation account suntr. But I chose the option 900 STEEM token payment but with vote from suntr and visionaer himself because I get to earn more although I have to post to have my post voted on, that is how it went.
I hope that you understand my situation over this thing. Miss @wakeupkitty 🌹🌹🌹
I guess in a certain way we get used to being ill, although we keep fighting. One moment everything seems fine, and the next you are down again. I must admit I feel way better today than I ever did. I started on Steemit in bed, somehow it feels like a long time ago.
I am satisfied about what I achieved and how I found a way to improve my life but there's also a limit. No more doctor visits. I have been long enough the labrat.
I understand why you can't vote and wonder how many Steemians vote this way. Can you ask if he can give me a lift and like to join hands? I am not interested in development and don't feel the need to be in the top 20 but being more visible would be helpful and I would like to be able to reward those who engage and give Steemit more spirit which is important if we want this platform be visible and keep it alive.
And if you know someone else, please let me know.
I thank you in advance.
I remember mother saying "we already own half of this hospital" to the persons when she was chats with them at the hospital]s waiting area outside my Neurologist's clinic office in the city which we used to go every 100 days for monitoring my "mild" epilepsy.
What she meant by that is we would commute from our province to the city so frequently that we had spent a lot of money by doing so.
We are told that after my bottle of prescription medication will nearly be consumed (100 tablets of Phenobarbital), that we should get back to him.
But there were other doctors "Neurologist" before him which my mother brought me to but stopped until I had another bout of losing consciousness as a form of my mild epilepsy symptom. So she brought me back to my last Neurologist until we decided to stop going to his clinic anymore before I graduated high school.
I never knew that there is more sinister health issue which was brewing already all along until the symptoms got worse over time and it just all happened until now. My life is just one story of tragedy and survival but I am still fighting to get better and I value you because you care even though we are thousands of kilometers apart.
I will tag Sir @visionaer3003 here.
Sir if you can support Miss @wakeupkitty for her aforementioned goal for this platform, I will be happy if you can lend her a hand and give her witness a vote?
Thank you very much. 😀👍
That's very true, not to forget mentioning smoking! It causes cancer and it turns out to be more to those who live with smokers than the smokers themselves. Strange alcohol is mentioned but not this and the overdose of medication people easily take.
Upvoted! Thank you for supporting witness @jswit.
