A "Game Plan"


Hey friends, family, and those reading my blog! I need your help and support! :)
After much consideration for a long time, and countless conversations with my mom (and even Dr.'s) I have decided that it is time to put together a "game plan" to get off of my medication. I am taking mercaptopurine (6mp) and have been for almost 5 years now.  I think that it has helped me, but I KNOW that I am strong enough to beat this "disease".  This is not a rash act. This is an act of courage and an act of faith.

The first step of my "game plan" is to put together in written words "I will do (this) when (this) happens"... I am going to commit to writing a list of detailed plans to help me be strong mentally, emotionally, physically, socially, spiritually, nutritionally, you name it. I have already been tapering from my medication for about a whole year now.  And the goal is to get off of it completely this spring/summer.

I want to specify that I am not "recommending" this for anyone but myself.  This has been a matter of prayer between me and God. I know that you too can receive personal revelation for yourself. I am not a Dr. and am not prescribing this for anyone but myself. But, with my soon to be Bachelor's Degree in Exercise and Wellness and personal experience from Crohn's, I hope that you will consider my advice.

I will be posting various tips and inspiration from my "game plan" on my blog as well as my instagram account @blessing_inthecurse

I can use all the positivity, support, hope, and faith that I can get :)

God is good and he is in this with me.
