“I think I found the solution to my illness” and with this phrase I remain. After so much time, doctors, exams, moving between cities and resting, I think I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Being without pain is the best thing that has happened to me for a long time; many will not understand why perhaps we can have a headache and with a single pill it is cured; suddenly those women who suffer from premenstrual syndrome, also know how chronic a pain can be that lasts for days, but it is an episode of days and it passes. However, in my case, I already had two years TWO YEARS! with an intense and chronic headache that after the visit of many doctors and treatments, I have finally FINALLY! found the cure to all my ills. The tower of medicines represents money (and a lot of it), it represents hope in curing me, it represents exhaustion of resources. What I can tell you is that I did not give up, I never stopped looking for a solution and beyond the pain, what I was looking for was wellness in my health to be able to move forward in all the things I want to do in my life and that prevented me from achieving them effectively.

The money invested, I could spend it on clothes, food, meeting, having a cosmetic or dental treatment, doing things in my home, or simply enjoying life. But how do I achieve all that if I don't have health? That is why I left the material aside and focused on following the treatments recommended by doctors and above all the appropriate specialists, because there is a fashion that we believe in everything and everyone exposed in social networks, without finding absolute and permanent improvements to our ills. I must mention that only those who have a current health situation in this country can understand how difficult it is to get sick here. It is enough to see the WhatsApp statuses of our close circle to see that they are always asking for help, making raffles, collecting funds for a disease of a family member or friend. It happened to me myself with a sister-in-law and thank God, she did achieve her goal and was able to have surgery. Some don't make it and others are still waiting; some of our #hivers have had to help us directly or indirectly, in order to achieve their health. Believe me friends, it is exhausting and depressing to see how we die for lack of money.

In my case, although it was difficult, I made it. Emotionally I was anxious that the treatments would work; emotionally affected because almost no one knew and because of what I said before, I believe that what I had was much less than what others go through. To be honest, I think this world is so convulsed with things that I can't go around complaining or feeling sorry for myself, so I understand whoever has not constantly asked me about my health. Financially about to open a GoFundMe, to defray expenses because for some photosHot they don't even give half a cent🤣;committed to work, because if I don't do it I don't eat and all this cycle of stress and anguish was leading me back to pain where in many moments I couldn't find an effective solution. Today I can say _I feel good... I am happy... You know why? Because I'm alive and I'm still here😊_ (Song by Luis Fernando Borjas). And so it is, that phrase gathers how I currently feel as I write these lines and I can give my testimony of healing. The treatment helped, my soul strength went up, I feel that I am recovering again many things and that I can be more productive in some things that I have been leaving aside to make the minimum effort to not have pain. Today I am swimming, only by conviction because I like the sea and it is good to align my body; I am attending therapy, a real therapy of which I had never been a participant; to go to therapy, I walk so I also do some exercise; I have proposed to change my diet (although that has been difficult because arepa and bread are my weakness) and I continue making changes in order to feel good.

What awaits me? I should not think about that because anguish takes over me and I cannot afford those luxuries right now. The wear and tear I have on my bones is irreversible, I have to learn to live with it, but the measures I am taking and that from now on will be part of my life, will help to lead a lifestyle where I keep the ailments at bay and do not complicate or advance more each day. And to all the #hivers who are going through difficult situations today, I support and embrace them spiritually so that every day they can find their physical and soul healing, because many of our pathologies are worsened by our state of mind. And I understand how not to give up or get depressed in this country, but believe me there are always solutions and I hope you find them.

Hasta un próximo encuentro 🌻.
