My monthly flow hasn't been giving me any problems since my last check up at KKH. Though not regulated like clockwork, it appears every month. This is very amazing for me as a Catholic. I know now that it wasn't just my gut instinct which told me to stop taking the hospital prescribed birth control pills. It felt so wrong even when a priest had assured me that I should not feel guilty because it was for medical reasons.
I am not advocating that medical intervention be ignored. That would be reckless. The above is pertaining to my case and for this particular issue alone. It must be seen in perspective to my journey with God since LISS (Life in the Spirit Seminar) 2009 and my being baptised in the spirit. I've had wonderful conversations with God and my healing of irregular menses is just one of the small miracles He has brought into my life because I had allowed Him into my life.
I had been praying for healing of my PCOS issues and at one point, I had felt it deep inside of me that God had already healed me of my irregular / absent menses. I felt that if I had continued to take the birth control pills just in case I wasn't healed, I would be doubting God. I knew I had to let go and let Him take control and believe wholeheartedly that He had healed me and He did. I am healed. I haven't missed any since. Alleluia!
As for my insulin resistance...I haven't had a sugar test done since the last one some months back. My eating patterns haven't changed much and the good news is I haven't put on weight this year yet. Well, I'm still over weight but I have been ding-donging between dropping some and putting on some. So the weight loss and gain kind of balances itself out. I have noticed something though. When I do not eat rice (or too much carbohydrates) for dinner, I feel so much lighter the morning after. But being a 'rice' person, it's really hard not to eat rice for dinner. Especially when there's sambal belachan lying around. Shiok!
Overall, I'm feeling fine. I'm feeling more energetic than ever and just not as lethargic as before. Maybe it's due to the fact that I no longer have a Foreign Domestic Worker and I've to do the housework myself or maybe that I'm super duper elated that I no longer have to face her tai-tai tantrums. Yes. Most likely.
