become strong and healthy

I feel so much better now. I have a job that requires some physical strength and stamina. I can keep a normal to rather fast pace when walking with other people, even uphill. As long as I stick to my restricting diet, my digestion usually works and I don’t get any nasty symptoms. From time to time I can also have some other foods, like milk products. I’m learning up to 50 Finnish words a day and I’m planning to go back to university. I think I can check this off now =)

During the past years and the past months in particular, my health and performance had degraded continuously, most likely because of thyroid problems and food sensitivities. In the end I had to give up on my studies. I was in such a bad shape that I wasn’t able to fully participate in excursions anyway, and I could hardly concentrate at all, it felt like I had become totally stupid.
Since I started a special diet avoiding all the foods I suppose I get sick from, I have mostly become much better. A couple of weeks ago I finally felt able to get a job again. Now I have a physically challenging job that was very exhausting for me in the beginning, but it’s become a lot better. I’m growing muscles and my body feels ok, apart from some digestion trouble sometimes. My intelligence seems to be coming back, too. I’ve started to learn Finnish a few weeks ago and I find it rather easy ;P
