Life and hair

Heelloooo everyone who still reads my blog : 'D

I figured I should update a little more than just with wedding photos.

Honestly , I haven't been feeling very good since December , so I have not done much other things than work , sleep and watching television shows.

I hope it will get better now though! I got fed up with my body this week. I have been able to work normally and haven't had to call in sick , but this week my tiredness and stomach affected my job so I was to the doctor and it was the best doctor I have ever met.
He took me so seriously and asked all the right questions, I got medicine for the stomach. Also, I have had gastric catarrh on and off for the last 7 years so based on previous visits and my symptoms, he also told me that many of my problems most certainly are a result of a disease called IBS , which explains very very much of how I feel in my everyday life , things I have gotten used too because I have lived with it for so long, I will finally try to get rid of with the right food. 

And because my constant tiredness is due to a low blood pressure, he said that I should start exercising at least 20 minutes each day to strengthen my heart. So I hope I can deal with this and get out of this dark bubble that I've lived in for more than a month now.

Besides all this crapstuff I've dyed my hair yesterday :D Wohoo , I 'm very happy with the color.

  1. Tråkigt att höra att du har haft en jobbig vinter med flera fysiska problem. IBS verkar det vara många som lider av, men det går att må bättre om en bara håller koll på vad en stoppar i sig. Hoppas du mår bättre snart!

    1. Ja jag har också märkt att många har den sjukdomen :/ kan nog ha att göra med hur mycket konstiga ämnen det finns i mat nuförtiden kanske.

  2. Hoppas att du får ordning på det. Har en kompis med IBS och hen mår bra nu när hen vet vad som triggar igång symptomen.

  3. IBS verkar vara jättejobbigt, min sambo har det och har ofta ont i magen, han blev bättre av lchf. Du får prova vad som funkar bäst för din mage. Ta hand om dig
    Hårfärgen är supersnygg. Jag färgar rött och det blir matt och tråkigt efter bara en tvätt, längtar lite efter svart, men alla säger att jag passar i det röda...

    1. Ja jag har också märkt att den mår bättre utan pasta, vitt bröd och sådana kolhydratbomber, så jag kan förstå att lchf funkade bra för honom.

      Jo min färg är redan mattare efter bara en hårtvätt :P typiskt röda färger.

  4. Ah, I hope now, that you found a good and caring doctor, you'll be recovering fast. It must have been hard on you to feel so down, especially in the most depressing months of the year...I often feel the same way and since I also have low blood pressure, I feel tired all the time too...but only physically and I cannot sleep because my mind is still wide awake...so awesome...:)

    Anyway, I'm sure, that a new, pretty hair color will help you get better soon...! :P

  5. How lucky that you've finally found a doctor who is listening to you, Lesthi. That seems to be rather rare these days. And now that you know what the problem is, you can start to fix the situation. **says she, as she sits slumped in front of the computer with a coffee and jelly beans for lunch **

    I, for one, never get tired of the wedding pictures. :o)

  6. Do you eat meat? Red meat can help with low blood pressure and fatigue. I had extremely low blood pressure and fatigue as a vegetarian. Hope you feel better soon!

  7. Ooh, där är den där snygga hårfärgen igen. :D <3

    Min syster fick också diagnosen IBS en gång. Hon blev rådd att äta "snäll" mat - vitt bröd, inga grönsaker, inga fibrer = inte så hälsosamt alltså.
    Vad fick du får mat råd?
    (Efter detta har hon fått andra diagnoser. Gotta löv dagens läkare!) Men jag är glad för din skull att du fick träffa en bra en, de är väldigt sällsynta.
    Jag har också magkatarr och har ringt för att få träffa läkare, de säger till mig att äta regelbundet och inte dricka kaffe innan jag ätit något. Woo! Vilken hjälp lixom. xD

    1. Han gav mig inga råd alls om mat utan tipsade om att läsa på IBS forum :P men jag kunde redan ganska mycket för jag har misstänkt IBS i 6 år eftersom alla symptom stämmer in.
      Vitt bröd ska man definitivt inte äta mycket utav, det mår jag riktigt illa utav xD allt med vetemjöl får jag nog börja passa mig för mera.
      Jag hittade en bra lista med mat produkter som är gasbildande som jag ska försöka undvika :3

      Usch ja, magkatarr tar de inte seriöst, varje läkare innan det här som jag pratat med har gett mig rådet att stressa mindre...

  8. So much sympathy, having a sensitive stomach/ gut can be the worst! Once you know what it is you can try and eat better and watch out for 'trigger' foods that trigger attacks of sensitivity. I find not eating junk food or things that have weird ingredients like preservatives or some spices, that sort of thing, is a good way to go. Also get tested for allergies like dairy or bread, or just try cutting them out.

    It is hard with doctors, most don't take that sort of thing seriously. And it is hard to find info about some things because they can be so specific to a person, such as what to do when you have a bad stomach pain. I usually find that peppermint tea is very soothing, and I also have a herbal medicine called Iberogast. I don't know if they have that in your country, but I think it helps. If you ever want to talk about it with someone who gets it, I am there :)

    1. Yeah, i have noticed that too, fries are just death to my stomach for example :/

      I tried peppermint tea for a while, but I just can't stand the taste, haha! We have a sort of juice here in sweden called "proviva" which always help a little with the pain though :D

      Thank you so much, you are so sweet <3
