I feel it may be about time for an update. I do indeed have much to say, but too much clutteredness fills my mind to theme the thoughts blog by blog; hence, this blog will be an amalgamation of many thoughts, side-notes, updates and such.

The parasites are gone. My stomach is free and still recovering, but all in all I feel much better. I have started school again…my final semester of my undergraduate degree. With the excitement of a new semester (being a last of its kind at that) my mind has been running labyrinths of my near future’s endless possibilities. This eager racing of opportunity has both inspired, made overwhelmed and confused my mind (to say the least of it). I feel the endless prospects of my life weighing me down like a boulder among grains of coarse sand on the edge of a greedy cliff. Both my ability to prosper and my exhaustion of will have been challenged, and I find myself irritated often and beyond ascendance. Have I already laid within the bed that I have made or have I yet to pick out the sheets? I’ve found peaceful comfort in the silent moments with God and the wistful moments spent with my husband. Moments indeed they are merely, fleeting and in constant need of more subsistence. I am amused often by the subtleties that adorn my life. I thank Heaven for its presentation of relief in each and every one of them.

I find the rant above to possibly be disturbing to some, but I assure you there is no need to worry. My literary personae has merely peered its head into my psyche once again, and currently I am writing with fervor for artistry. With that said, sorry if this makes little to no sense to you. But it is my update, have it if you will. I hope to return with further insightful or possibly clearer thought in the near future.

My sincere love and greetings to you friends,

Ashley

Since my husband and I have returned from our fabulous honeymoon in Aruba I have not been feeling so well.  At first we were SURE I was pregnant…pretty much convinced.  I went to an internalist who ran one test, and that came back normal so she dismissed it as nothing. I started to feel worse: headaches, constant stomach ache and/or nasuea, back ache, fatigue, disorientedness….it was NOT fun. Once again we still thought I may be pregnant. So I went to see an OBGYN who ran several blood tests checking my progesterone levels, hormones, HGC, and many more. I went and saw her very recently to get my test results and much to my surprise, no baby, no nothing! She had no solution for me.

I was reffered to TWO more doctors to get MORE tests done. I was getting really worn out at this  point after TWO months of the run-around, and I KNEW things just weren’t right. I was playing all the options in my head and doing lots of research on my symptoms. Having just gone overseas I started to wonder if I could have a parasite. I actually had about 90% of the symptoms. Benji went to Whole Foods for me in search of an all natural Parasite Cleanse.  He ended up with a highly recommended box of treatments called Paragone (see photo above).  From what I know of cleanses and the research I did on this one, it couldn’t hurt me to do it…hey, I’d try just about anything to make me feel better at this point. It was try it and see what happens or go to more doctors, take more tests, spend a LOT more money…… yah, I was in.

Well, after two days of the cleanse “the proof was in the pudding” (literally)… I 100% had and stil have parasites. I have been on the cleanse now for about 6 days. It has not been the most lovely-feeling experience of my life, but its working and that’s ALL I care about at this point.  It lasts anywhere from 15-30 days depending on how strong of doses you take.  So needless to say for a couple weeks here I may be on writing hiatus. Between getting through school and killing parasites, I’m a run down girl. ;)

Please pray for a speedy recovery and for these little buggars to be long gone when its over.  I can’t WAIT to feel myself again!
