Radioactive

May 21, 2019, I went to the Endocrinologist for my Graves Disease.
I was suppose to get a simple Thyroidectomy, against her will.
Instead she chose to give me a poisonous pill.
30 Microcules of classified I-131,
On June 12, 2019, it was done.
I should have been more proactive in learning about other medical options,
or even her credentials.
Unfortunately the damage had already begun.
Two days later, I found out the pill was not in my favor.
It destroyed my thyroid completely and changed my life immediately.
Months and months have gone by.
My menstrual cycle has gone awry.
Every organ in my body has been affected.
Now, I will never know if I will have the baby, as I elected.
A 10 centimeter fibroid is consistenly growing in my uterus, and
A cyst sits on my right ovary.
I did not find this out until 6 months later.
I blame myself, because I was a healthy 28 year old woman.
At 29, it is hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
I am writing this as a form of truth and awareness.
Women, do your research, love your body, and treat it as the temple that it is,
We are givers of life, don’t take that for granted.
One choice can leave you feeling stranded.
I am just being honest and real.
I want you to know this, because it is unbearable how I feel.
However, I do believe in miracles and I can’t wait to see the day that the miracle has won.

Hello, my name is Meisha Bravender. I love life, and writing about life. I find inspiration in everything that I feel and everything that I do. I am a true Christian who loves Jesus, wears my heart on my sleeve, and is not afraid to be vulnerable when I need to be. I can go on and say that I love walks in the park and picnics on the beach in the gritty sand, but enough with the hopes and dreams. Back to reality!

I am the coauthor of "The Faithfuls: Actual Supernatural Stories." I go by the name M.Brav and my coauthor, oh yeah, is my mother, also known as B. Bryant. We, typically, you know, write books together! In fact, we are working on our second book which will be coming out later this year. As of now, you could go online and purchase our debut novel "The Faithfuls: Actual Supernatural Stories" by M. Brav & B. Bryant by searching on amazon.com or clicking on the website below. I mean, who wouldn't want to? It is, honestly, a must read! Well, I truly, hope that you all enjoy our writings. However Harness Community, I apologize for now, because you are stuck with me and my own writing. Looking forward to your love and well-needed support!
