Its Your 5AM Wake-up Call!!

Have you ever gone to the doctor with a 'minor' complaint only to find out that you've been unnecessarily living with something for far too long? I made a visit to my doctor a few weeks ago to talk about some everyday issues only to find out that I needed some different medications than the ones I was taking. I hadn't realized it until then that I had been battling some really severe issues ever since Chloe was born (almost 2 years ago). It was a real wake up call that I need to do a better job listening to my own body and taking my own symptoms more seriously. I am always so good at sending Earl and the kids to the doctor at the slightest hint of a problem, but I'm not so good when it comes to myself. So, ladies. I hope you are all doing a better job than I am. Take care of yourselves. Don't live with something you think is minor because you are making yourself a priority. I was lucky that my situation wasn't any worse and am starting to feel like a completely new person. I didn't realize how bad it was until it started getting better. Don't follow my example.
