All day I walked around thinking it was somebody's birthday or anniversary the date rang a bell in my mind. As I looked up to the full moon while my son and I were out tonight dawned on me. 1 year ago today I was hospitalized. I was on my way to go get my son I could barely breathe my whole chest and back were on fire I had sweats, aches, twitches, spasms...you name it my body was falling apart. I called my son's godmother and she picked him up from the daycare and then came and saw me in the hospital.

I could not stop crying I didn't know what was wrong with me and neither did the doctors. they diagnose me with pleurisy. this was now my third diagnosis in less than two weeks.

I reflected on that day and the whole entire year that has gone by. I'm not symptom-free yet but I have gotten rid of a lot of them.

the only person that was on my mind to get better for was my son.

I wanted to post this to tell people to please stay encouraged. I have some daunting symptoms, but I am able to go to work, drive, grocery shop and function. when I was out of work I didn't think I would ever get better again. But every month that passes I'm getting stronger and better than the prior month. I do believe that I will fully recover and be completely Something free very soon.

I have no option but to get totally better. Besides who would teach my son how to play basketball lol!

Don't give up hope, keep pushing forward. I know that there's a lovely community and family right here on this forum that loves you.

May peace be with each of you.

Happy healing!

It's great to hear that you're getting better and better Wryter!! Keep on doing that great job you're doing

Wryter, Thanks so much for sharing!!!! That is really awesome. So glad you are doing better and it's encouraging to see where you are.

Thanks again!!!

Thank you everyone and all of you are quite welcome!!!! I catch myself complaining about symptoms but then I looked through my journal (yes I kept a journal) and I'm amazed!!!

Mumma...I want you to take the word "hope" out and say "I will get better...I will recover."

I've been listening to inspiring sermons for a long while now but one stuck out to me last week and the woman said, "You deserve to heal...you deserve to recover." I've been telling myself that for two weeks now!

Chris I'm so happy for you! Let's kick these lingering symptoms to da curb! I'm really done with Lyme, Candida and it's posse!

Traveler you have been a wonder to me on my darkest days. I mean there were days I would be on the forum in the middle of the night scared to fall asleep because I thought I was going to die. But I have too much life to live. I really do and I know my parents, sister, grandfather and host of family in heaven aren't ready for me. This journey has been exceptionally tough without my mother. She was my rock.

Mumma I'm with you...I increased my teasel root this week and oh boy...the flares (well the herx) is interesting. Just trying to ride it out until all goes stable before I go up to 6 drops a day. I don't want to feel anything but this means its working. Keep it up and know we are all in your corner!

Marie I took your advice and started meditating more...envisioning the future!

Stay tuned...I have an appt with my neurologist that knows Lyme very well...inside out on Tuesday. He's convinced that next year I will be training for my next marathon (he's such a rock star)!!!!

I love each of you and everyday I pray for my Healing Well Family!!!!

 

Thank you so much!!!! I'm a poet and love writing!!!! I love to feel inspired and I learned so much from people sharing. I love sharing. I don't want anyone feeling alone. We are all in this together

Stay tuned for more updates!!!

Peace and blessings.
