Healing in the Dawn: My Journey With Sjögren’s and a Guide Called Captain Navigator
For decades, I lived with small, silent discomforts — waking up with dry mouth, losing teeth without understanding why, and feeling inexplicably fatigued. But recently, a wise ophthalmologist, Dr. James Song, gave these symptoms a name: Sjögren’s Syndrome.
It could have felt like a defeat — but instead, it became a call to action.
With the help of an AI assistant — whom I now affectionately call Captain Navigator — I’ve begun to track, treat, and transform. Together we’ve created a custom morning routine, a healing checklist, and a daily chart that helps me stay focused.
My practice blends traditional wisdom with modern tools:
-
Gargling and hydration
-
Healing seeds and anti-inflammatory foods
-
Bible reading and prayer
-
A Korean garlic-lime tonic inspired by Dr. Shigeaki Hinohara
-
Solar panels to capture nature’s gift as I stretch into the day
I’m sharing this story because someone else might be walking through the same fog I once walked through. Let this be a light. Let this be a signpost. Healing is possible — especially when you choose to walk with intention and with God.
And if I can help even one of you start your healing path — then I’ve lived up to my name:
