My Testimony: How God Brought Me Through Thyroid Battle & Generational Healing
I want to share something personal that I pray will help someone who’s going through a confusing or scary health journey. A while back, I started having symptoms that made absolutely no sense. I had headaches that felt like pressure building in my head, nerve pain, tingling, muscle and joint pain, forgetfulness, fatigue, brain fog you name it. I couldn’t even lay down flat because the pressure in my head was so intense. I was barely sleeping. One of my eyes started bulging and getting bigger than the other. I knew something was wrong, but nobody could tell me what. I went to the ER, urgent care, a neurologist… test after test after test. Everything kept coming back “normal.” Meanwhile, my body was getting worse. What hurt the most was feeling like nobody took me seriously, not even some of my own family. “It’s probably stress,” or “you’re overthinking.” Hearing that when you KNOW something is happening in your body… it’s heartbreaking. It made me feel helpless. At one point I truly thought I wasn’t going to make it. I wrote letters to my husband and my son because I felt like I was running out of time. But when people couldn’t give me answers, I finally cried out to the Lord for help and that’s when everything shifted. When I went back to the ER again, they finally found large nodules on my thyroid. I had to get a biopsy to rule out cancer (thank God they were benign), but the nodules were so big they had to be removed. That moment was both scary and relieving, I finally had an answer. What shook me even more was finding out my cousin was going through thyroid issues at the same exact time, and we ended up having surgery around the same time too. My grandmother has thyroid issues. My aunt. Other family members on my paternal side. That’s when the Holy Spirit opened my eyes: this wasn’t just medical, this was generational. I stood up spiritually and said, “This ends with me.”I became the repairer of the breach. I went to war in prayer. I broke generational curses in the name of Jesus. And I declared that this spirit of infirmity stops with my generation. It will NOT touch my child or his children.
