Going to start living life in a healthy way....

For the last 2 years I have been struggling with some health issues. My main issues were the fatigue and weight gain. I have been seeing my regular doctor and all sorts of tests were conducted to tell me everything was alright. This still wasn't the case because, I will still tired and the weight gain continued.

I finally broke down and call the Metabolic Treatment Center. I heard an advertisement over the radio for this doctor. I really didn't know what I was getting myself into with this type of doctor. Let me tell you I am glad I did.

So far I have been there twice. The first time for them to spend at least 2 hours with you to get your background information, your symptoms, take blood and do an ultrasound on the liver. I was told by the doctor that with in the first 72 hours my blood pressure would drop. As long as I met the criteria of the center I would be able to be treated. If I didn't meet the criteria they would not be able to continue services with me. I like that fact that the doctor was up front with me. I would not know the results from the work up for another week.

The second visit the doctor went over the results of my blood work. There were a lot of results on the paper, not that I really understood what he was looking for. I will find out more the next visit as well as request a copy of the blood work up that he did. All I know if that he found out that there were levels that are very low. I have meet the criteria for treatment.

I know you are probably wondering well what is wrong. As it turns out, my liver is not producing the enzymes to help digest my food, which is return storing the food I eat as fat, and not producing fuel for my body. Not only did the doctor find this out for me, I was also informed about the auto immune that is attacking my thyroid. I go for an ultra sound on my thyroid the last week of April.

I know this was so much information to take in at once, and I am still trying to understand it all. Next week I will go for my third visit and learn about the disorder and learn to make the right choices where I will not have to depend on the treatment center. This is one of the requirements from the center. The doctor wants people to learn about the disorder and learn to live with it where you can live a healthy life.

Once I begin treatment I should see the following results: lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol, no fatigue, depression should go away. I am looking forward to working with the doctor and the treatment center. I will try and keep you updated as I learn more about the program.
