February 2, 2009Success Story – It’s my body and this ain’t normal – taking charge of health management
I was fat, exhausted and depressed, but every doctor I talked to told me I was normal. If that was normal, I’d hate to see abnormal. I researched my symptoms and figured out what was wrong with me, and spoke to scores of doctors who dismissed my ideas. I had to go out of state to find a doctor who would run the tests I wanted, even at my own expense. But I did find one, and guess what. I’m slim,energetic, and happy now. It took every ounce of assertiveness I have to keep going in the face of doctors who would rather dismiss me than work with me. Now, I help other women get their doctors to listen to them. Believe me, it’s worth it to SpeakStrong when your doctor won’t listen.

Thank you so much for your weekly newletter. Thanks to you I feel alive again after 2 years of feeling crazy. I had Hyperthyroidism and was treated with Radiation Therapy and since than my weight and health went downhill, literally. I read the whole story about and researched more about Hashimoto’s Disease and now am on nature herbs and feel alive again. Thank you!
