Dear Readers

It has been some time since I last posted and it's all because I have been focusing on my facebook Celiac Disease Support page. If you haven't checked it out yet, hop on over &  join our group.

Update on my health. 
I went in to see the doctor about aches in my joints that just wouldn't go away. 
I know, I know, that is a Celiac thing, but something just felt off. 
I have been bruising like crazy and I mean, crazy!! 
I counted I think around 18 bruises on both legs at one point. I was just not feeling the greatest. 

The doctor did an overall blood test for me and everything turned out fine except my cortisol level. 
It is supposed to be lower but it was pretty high. I was told that I needed to check it again in about a month and see how it's going. 1 month later, it had gone up even more. 

My doctor didn't even want to test how my adrenal glands were functioning, she knew that if it came back off, that I would have questions. She was right, I did and I was freaking out (still am a bit). 
There are so many questions going through my mind right now, what could be causing this? 
Could it be the bad sleeping pattern I have put myself & my children in (night shift without actually being on night shift, due to daddy's work schedule?) or is it all the regular health anxiety I have, causing issues?

What ever the case, I will be seeing an endocrinologist sometime this year (hopefully soon) and get an answer as to what is going on with me. The fatigue I experience normally feels like it has tripled and I find myself waiting impatiently for each day to end so I can go back to sleep again. 

That is no way to live! 
I really pray I get some answers and soon! 

Until then, I just wait. 

Thought I would just update you guys. 
Hope to do some new product reviews soon on here. 

-Keep on keeping on. 

Love,
