I vowed I would have my Masters degree by my birthday (July 14). And I did it! In fact I completed my Masters in Holistic Nutrition last week. I thought I would be jumping up and down happy. But I am hard-pressed to describe how I feel. Happy, yes. Jumping up and down happy...... well, not really. Proud of myself, oh very much!
I have gone from almost having to go on disability (some would have) to getting off all the pharmaceuticals and being in remission five years...... to achieving my Masters. Had I just listened to my docs.... I'd either be dead or in a wheelchair in a nursing home ...... for sure I'd still be on steroids..... and chemo drugs. Contemporary medicine doesn't have much to offer Lupus patients..... but nutrition does. It's shameful ....... in all those years my lupus was active, not one physician ( and I had a whole regiment of them) asked me about my diet/nutrition.
Have a doc friend who thinks like I do regarding vitamins, supplements and alternative medicine who wants to talk to me about doing nutrition counseling in her office. :o)
Will be dropping to part time at the hospital soon as the department director will let me! We are without a manager or dayshift supervisor at the moment and have five full time people wanting to go PRN so the department is not in such a good way at the moment. And it's going to get worse before it gets better. I'm willing to wait till sometime next spring but beyond that I'm not sure how I will feel. I am anxious to transition to being a Holistic Nutritionist!
