Just wanted to send a big THANK YOU for being a part of this Hope for Healing space! I am currently taking a much-needed health hiatus as I work with my medical team to come up with solutions for my recent Histamine Intolerance (HIT) diagnosis. I am hopeful after my doctor appointment yesterday and a separate conversation with my nutritionist. Much gratitude goes out to Dr. Trish of LowCountry Family Care and Hollie of Happy Tummies of the Lowcountry for their willingness to listen and honor my individual needs. Such a gift to have health practitioners who have validated my symptoms and put healing strategies into place. We are working at resolving the root causes. My gut tells me this is all related to chronic inflammation, which just so happens to be an after-effect of childhood trauma (adverse childhood experiences) #ACEsScience  

"Inflammation might be one mechanism through which adverse childhood experiences (ACE) affect later health. Chronic inflammation is associated with the increased risk of many non-communicable diseases, such as cancer, autoimmune diseases and diabetes" (Baecklund et al., 2006, Festa et al., 2000, Shacter and Weitzman, 2002).

 
If you are a person of faith, this one just might touch your soul!

I shared my experience on my personal Facebook page on July 14, 2021:

A miracle happened today. 

This will be a long and sappy post. I've not been on social media much, maybe 2 minutes a day. Truly. I also took a much-needed break from the podcast even though I have 20 interviews to edit and had another 10 scheduled. I moved them all out a few weeks. I needed healing time. This HIT diagnosis had me reeling. And starving. Fortunately the weight loss has slowed. Still at 33 lbs down. 

We had reservations at a fancy island restaurant with friends. They ate lobster tails and swordfish and filet mignon and huge ribeyes and cocktails. I drank water. Just water. There was nothing on the menu that was low histamine. Sadly. However, I wanted to go and enjoyed my time with friends. And tried to savor their joy as they gobbled up every delicious morsel. 

I've been following my medical team protocol and was having better days. I even added a few new foods. And felt like I was in food heaven with every bite. 

Then yesterday I crashed and burned. My throat swelled. I was back to square one. And frustrated, sad, overwhelmed, discouraged, disappointed, and angry. But I shook it off and trudged along as I always do. I even suggested a walk at the bluffs with Jen while Maddie worked an 8 hour shift. It was peaceful along the water's edge. I spent time gardening and in nature enjoying the baby lizard I found on a leaf, a bumble bee butt sticking out of a purple flower, a hummingbird too quick to capture on my camera, and so much more. 

Then I woke up this morning with my throat still swollen. Those lymph nodes under my tongue and in my throat wreaking their havoc. And I cried. Then cried some more.

I decided to head to my favorite meditation spot along the sound to pray. And here is where a true honest to God miracle happened. 

I was sitting in the sun, enjoying the sound of the waves crashing on the rocks. I started to chat with God, my angels, arch angels, spirit guides, Jesus, Mary, whomever would listen! This is a summation of my words I said out loud as tears streamed down my cheeks:

"I need your help. I've been afraid since I was a little girl. I've lived my entire life in fear. Always on guard. Always hyper aroused. I've worked so hard at healing. And finding peace. Yet that current of fear resides. I don't want to be afraid any more. I need a sign that I'm going to be okay. That I'm going to heal. That you are with me and helping me. I am asking you to send me some dolphin of hope as a sign that I am going to be okay and healed. Thank you."

Then I looked out at the water and said out loud again, "I'm ready for you, dolphin"

And I swear to God, on my own life, and all things Holy, about 20 dolphin came out of the water right in front of me. 

My whole body started shaking and I sob cried so damn hard. Harder than I've ever EVER cried. I'm still crying and that was an hour ago!!! 

Dolphin popped up within a millisecond of me saying those words. I just kept saying "oh my God, thank you!" Over and over again.

I called Jen and my mom crying. 

Here is video of two of them as they swam off that I took after calling Jen. I was so caught up in the moment, I didn't grab my phone until they were leaving. I zoomed in so it's a little blurry.

For anyone feeling scared or overwhelmed, please know, as my mom reminded me, with God, all things are possible
Dolphin leaving after my prayer was answered!

 

 

Please remember: Healing is possible and you are so very worthy of that gift!
