I have had fibromyalgia for about five years now, and it has been severe enough to keep me pretty well homebound and totally change my whole life.......The stress has taken a pretty hard toll on his health and our marriage, and my 14 year old son, who lost his mother for the most part when I became ill.......It has basically been a daily struggle emotionally, physically, and spiritually for all of us to try to deal with. We weren't winning the game most of the time, and the bottom finally hit last week when I had to be hospitalized....... At the time I had no idea exactly how ill I was, but I found that out today when I went for my visit with the doctor.
I had slowly been swelling over my whole body with edema and the pain of it, and every day was increasingly more difficult. I was unable to fit into my clothes any longer and stayed in my robe all day, unable to leave the house for that reason if, I could have anyway. Since it had been too painful for me to go out for so long anyway, I didn't think much about it except trying to survive the day, knowing I was getting worse, but not comprehending what was happening. The doctor had me on medication for the edema, but it wasn't working well, and he was concerned because he couldn't find a reason for it......Even when my blood pressure dropped to a dangerously low level, it just didn't occur to me to be concerned. I have been living with this for so long that it was merely one more thing to go through.....
When I left the hospital I was feeling slightly better, but not much. My medication had been doubled for the edema, but it was showing very slow improvement. I just kept on saying my prayer, and talking to God the way I always do, and waiting for the Immunocal. It finally arrived late Saturday, so I waited until early evening to take it.
The next morning I was totally amazed! I slept well that night for the first time in years, but didn't even have the time to think much about that. As soon as I got out of bed I knew I was a different person. My memory and concentration were back, and I hadn't even realized how bad they had become. As soon as I got out of bed I was ready to take on a million things that needed to be done, and had the whole day planned in five minutes. It took me a little while to realize that my body was not ready to cooperate with my mind at all. So I just took it slow, and didn't try to do much of what I wanted to do, fearing that I would push my body too far and actually make things worse.
Every day since then I have had more improvement in my memory and concentration, and have been able to clearly see how ill I have been as it has improved. I can clearly see when the illness began, and the progression it has taken since the first day. But most of all, my thinking has returned to the way it used to be, and I am ready, in my mind at least, to take on the world again. I think the best way to describe it is that I feel mentally, emotionally, and spiritually strong again, and in such a short time that I can hardly comprehend it.
My body is following more slowly, but there are definite improvements there also. I'm sleeping well again and have NOT had to take the pnt 200 so far..... I truly believe that within two or three months I will be well enough that I will be doing my household chores on a daily basis without a problem. And I actually went to the store and bought a CD today after I left the doctor's office, which I haven't been able to do no matter how much I have wanted to.
But the most important thing I have to tell you is next. For the last two days I have been praying in my head, talking to God and thanking him, and singing almost constantly at the same time my Christian songs that I like so much. It's almost like I can't turn it off, and I certainly don't want to. I didn't plan to do this, it just happened. And out of that has come this tremendous feeling of total joy, and it won't leave me either......I don't have much more to say, but this last thing is the most amazing of all to me.
I wasn't even thinking about this at all yesterday, but the thought came to me that there was one medication I was taking that was causing the edema, and I knew exactly which one it was, and stopped taking it immediately. When I saw the doctor today I suggested it to him, and he thought for a second before I saw the comprehension on his face, and he knew it was the truth. I will also never forget the look of relief on his face (he is a wonderful man, and very caring) when he saw how much better I was. That was when he admitted to me that he was very happy about it, because he had no idea what to do for me next and had been very concerned......It would take forever to tell you all the changes I've noticed, so I'm going to start writing it down tomorrow to keep track of the progression for my own benefit.
This feeling of total joy hasn't left me, and I hope it stays forever. I have struggled with this computer with a mind that couldn't function well enough for so long, trying only to make some money to help out. I found not only that, but I'm getting my health back at the same time, and so quickly that it's blowing me away.
The doctor also asked more about the Immunocal, and I told him all I could as fast as I could. He even wanted to know HOW it worked, medically, so I have his interest, definitely......So, I had to thank you and Pam for beng so helpful to me, and I can't wait to make certain that the whole world knows about Immunocal. Between God, the two of you, and the wonderful people who have worked so hard on this product for so long, I am going to have my life back again. There are no words to express how grateful I am to all of you for that. Now I'm going to bed to get some good sleep for the first time in years. Thank you so much. Love, and All God's blessings, Keady
