So I started on the paleo diet, exercises, a whole bunch of gut supplements, regular supplements, adrenal supplements and something for my bones. This was something that I had wanted to do for decades and just never did. I was freaked out about the osteo diagnosis) I really liked the idea of handling my gut first. Despite my main concern being my bones and being now in the mindset that my bones could start breaking on me any time for the slightest reason (i.e. Minkoff started handling my leaky gut – which is a reason to have lupus symptoms. It’s comforting to have one consistent diagnosis as opposed to many different “reasons” and then you don’t know what’s the right thing to do.ĭr. Minkoff’s independent test findings and diagnosis coincided with the dermatologist’s. The other thing that impressed me was that Dr. None of these things showed up in my regular doctor’s tests and she was willing to call me healthy based on them. His test came up with all kinds of goodies to address. He complimented it with muscle testing which pleased me, because I feel muscle testing on its own is a limited view. He ordered a ton of tests – far more comprehensive than my doctor ordered. So when all this stuff was coming up with my body, I decided to go with a past successful action. In very little time he nailed down what it was and that was, literally, the end of it. Minkoff years ago (when I was here for a short stay) to check out mysterious chronic pain I was having. So at this point I was done with the whole situation. And on top of it, I now felt freaked out about it. Like I said, my body runs pretty trouble-free and that I was having this much going on with it, and serious stuff, was so out of character. I went to my dermatologist who ordered a blood test and when that came back he was talking about the rash looking like lupus. When I asked her about the rash, she had no idea what it was and didn’t bother to investigate it further. But I noticed routinely by mid-week something was not right in my body. It made no sense as I could feel my body was improving noticeably. When I got the bone density test results back showing I had osteoporosis, I was really shocked. As part of this exam, I had a bone density test for the first time (at age 59). So at the beginning of last year I had this routine physical and all my usual blood, urine, etc. I was happy with the fact that my body was improving, strengthening and becoming more mobile. We had moved the previous Fall and I had packed and lugged boxes down the stairs, etc. One of my biggest complaints – pain in my shoulders limiting some motions was, however, improving, with one should pain-free again. However, for some years I was having some difficulties like recurrent bronchitis. If something started to kick in, like a cold or flu, I used to be able to knock it out in the same day. I am an active person with usually no medical issues to speak of.
