Please don’t diagnose yourself

Today is a great day, started backwards but that’s ok. While on this weight loss journey please always remember to love you and take care of you, and by that I mean remembering to take your daily medication, testing your blood sugar or anything else that your doctor prescribed. While changing your exercise and food consumption through this journey we will hope that the doctor will see a change in your health and it may be possible that he or she may be able to take you off or change some of your medication but please remember we are not doctors and do not want to experience any set backs from not listening to them.
I am saying all this to lead by example. I am epileptic. I was diagnosed in 2017 shortly after my father passed away. I have never been a “pill popper” if I get sick “I’ll sweat it out “, so having to remember to take these pills everyday has become troublesome. This week was super busy with all my workout appointments and homework assignments, I just forgot to take my medication. At around 7pm on Thursday I was accidentally locked out of class by the instructor and I was very upset about that, due to missed doses of medication, excessive working out and stress .. I had a seizure at 9:45pm. It lasted for about 2 minutes it is a very bad feeling and hard to explain, my mind was scrambled and I felt very disoriented. I do not like feeling this way so I will set alarms on my phone to remind me to take my medication and be the best me. I’ll leave you with this. You can not bee the best you if you are not alive.

But be cautious
