I thought we were going to make it through the winter without being sick, other than a few runny noses here and there, but no dice. The month of March has been a long trail of kleenex and teabags.

Kit came down with it first, dampening her excitement over 5 new baby goat kids. The rest have gotten it by onesies or twosies. I had it really bad last week and am finally feeling better.

I started going to a new naturopath, and he ran some tests and determined I have Adrenal Exhaustion, which is causing the hypoglycemia and low thyroid, among other things. I don't really know if the adrenal exhaustion comes from diet, genetics or stress. Or all three. I started on supplements for it the day before I got sick with the flu. Yesterday was the first day I felt good, actually. We'll see how it goes!
