Appreciate Yourself

APPRECIATE YOURSELF


Stemming from Dr Gia Sison's 14 day of Self Love Challenge, I write about how it applies to my present condition.


I was so struck about the #SelfLoveChallenge that I felt this is what my prescription be like, as my cardiologist ordered for me to rest and take it easy for a few days.  You see, last Monday I had chest pains and when we got my blood pressure, it was 160/100. We went to the ER to have it checked out with ECG just to make sure, and I never got home that day because I was admitted to the coronary care unit (for close monitoring). I was following my doctors' orders and had all tests done just to make sure I wasnt having a heart attack.

I had time to REST, REFLECT and RESET. I had some major decisions to make about lifestyle change.


My mother asked me "what do you intend to give up?" and I had no answers to that. I felt like I was binging in a work buffet and I had to just choose what I would consume and let go of everything else. I APPRECIATE that I am working as hard as I could to do everything in my power to improve systems, to help trainees, students and scholars, to campaign for my advocacies. However, like everybody and anybody would tell me, I am simply working too hard.  I need to slow down.


I appreciate the work that I do makes a difference. I appreciate that I don't have to do everything and that I can delegate. I appreciate that I have family and friends who care for me. I appreciate that I am a beautiful person, a child of God.

  1. Irrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Cancer,Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity
