I'm finally well after all these years!!!

Thank you Spacie Gracie just what I needed to hear today!

Thank you so much for coming back here and giving such high hopes to people. I'm so glad you fought so hard and won!! Enjoy life!

Incredible and amazing news, Gracie!!

Go have fun! :)

Wow, that is crazy! So happy for you. Just curious how you actually got well with your body rejecting everything. Hope you are able to enjoy most everything again.

Thank you so much everyone!
I'm so happy if my wellness encourages others. I know how badly I needed it as well -too many times to explain.
I'm just as excited for y'all to get here too! If I can do it so can you :)

I will try to explain as best I can without going into too many details...because much of what was done for me before these last two treatment discoveries, was based on my individual situation.
My NYC LLMD was always there for me no matter what and still is to this day. Even though there was not much medically he could do for me at a certain point he helped in other ways. Just his moral support, following me and consulting with other doctors was extremely important -meant the world to me as I'm sure you all can understand. He was definitely part of my healing journey.

So many people way back when (when I was on here) got well on just antibiotics...I was devastated when the opposite was happening to me. Everything I tried with so many good doctors just seemed to boomerang on me.
about 5 years ago is when things got so out of control. (When my system rejected feeding tubes and TPN failed, etc.)

My parents refused to give up and decided to move me close to an OMD in Maryland. I don't have a lot of memory of being there as that was when the RSD spread, severe full body neuropathy ensued, lack of food and nutrients/starvation and seizures peaked. The pain was pure agony and that I do remember all too well.
However, this Oriental Medical Doctor had no fear. She treated me with several modalities -well the ones my body could handle. Mostly NAET, some acupuncture...whatever she could do day by day. Each day was different based on the one before. She saved my life.

After about 5 months I stabilized enough to go home. I continued with another practitioner here under my OMD's direction. I made some more progress that way as my OMD would come to my home in NC from time to time as my parents could afford it.

At this point, at times I could move my legs and sit up for a few moments but I was still very debilitated for the most part.
Sometimes I would improve for a week or two or three, then something would come along like a virus, or seasons would change, or a nurse would wear perfume...anything that would seem like nothing (and crazy, can't forget that! lol) to most of the world but it would knock me back again.
One of my biggest challenges was that I could not drink fluids -only eat ice chips or get iv fluids when my veins would hold up -which was not often. Lots of details. You know how it goes...(sigh).

Then November of 2012, my OMD decided that after all these years of severe illness and pain, that my brain had made big dents -pathways- in either a neuro-hyper pain mode, fight or flight mode, a fear mode, anxiety mode or whatever the brain had to do to deal with all of the assaults on my system...I'm sure you get the picture.
These brain pathways were so established that it was the only thing it could do --like tires running in huge ruts of mud.
As I understand it now, it is our brain that sends out messages to the different parts of the body on how to heal. Mine couldn't -the ruts were too deep.
So the beginning of my healing is going to probably sound rather bizzare as a matter of fact when my OMD explained it,
I thought her cheese had slid off her cracker! All the kings horses and all the kings men couldn't put Gracie back together again---but music therapy might??? I beg your pardon?!
But at this point I had adopted the mantra that I was either going to get well or die trying so I complied, begrudgingly but I did it. (BTW the music therapy only cost about $14.00)

At first this music therapy was quite irritating to my system...but as time went on and I complied, (emphasis on compliance, haha), I felt a shift of some sort...a big one. It's hard to explain.
The way I viewed everything changed, and having the ability to change things. This happened about two months into the therapy.
Evidently, this therapy kept my brain in a neutral place so that it could begin to make new pathways that were not too high in pain hyper-excitability or too low, fear/anxiety/sadness/remorse/frustration/anger, etc. It's not that I think I ever had a bad attitude or was consciously negative, it's just what the lyme and the lack of treatment caused...it was just the way it was under the circumstances.

What came next was the final nail in Lyme's coffin (suckaaa!).
My pain doctor (who is actually Lyme Literate) had a recommendation that I hoped would be helpful but didn't expect a lot---
By now my neurological system had calmed down enough that I felt I could handle more types of treatments to try to get even a little pain relief.

Low and behold it is what brought me where I am today!! I made progress relatively quickly, especially for the condition I was in. Every day, every month I had something beginning to resolve and some things were just gone!
Before I knew it, I could sit up, then actually read, then stand, then eat without hurling, then I could come out of my room, then I could walk...and so on and so on.
By spring of this year I could actually work a part time job and be part of the world again. I am still making progress and I have not slid back once -not once, thank God.
I still take it easy and don't take anything for granted. I sometimes have a day or two that I need to just rest but it's alll good!.
I still have some relatively minor issues but they hardly hold me back. I am not 100% yet..but if I never get any better from here I'm still thankful...and I'm okay..and I can live a good life now.
I still do my daily in home pemf/mrs therapy...and maybe I will need to for many more years..or maybe even forever...but it's relatively cheap -next to free now...and it works!! It's not just a band-aid. I have truly gained health. Even my heart condition is better!
It wasn't easy in the beginning (but what about this disease is easy, A?
!) I'm not alone with this success with TBI's and iMSR/pemf therapy -some of my lyme friends have been able to get it as well and are finding the similar results!

I've skirted over a lot of information because I wanted to answer y'all tonight. If you have any questions, please ask!
I know everyone is different in their healing path but we never know what will be the healing trigger! Not to mention I have yet to come across a compliant person that these 2 main therapies have not helped (given diet and lifestyle of course).
If anyone is interested in the music therapy, I would be happy to send the list of my approved music...It just needs to be downloaded from amazon for a dollar a selection...or any music selection apps.

If anyone wants information about (in home) iMRS/pemf therapy, I would love to help and explain it...and send you to my (no charge) consultant!

I hope this made sense a little. I have a big mouth but not as much brain time to match, lol.

Thinking of and praying for you all tonight...

Lymie Love!
S. Gracie

Wow Spacie, I shed some tears reading this, you are truly an inspiration.

You're a great writer too! I wish you continued health, happiness and peace.

Thanks so much for the responses...I am praying for everyone.

Louise74, I'm so sorry to hear your neuro system is hyped up :( I have to go pick up my little sister, but I will be back in just a bit to explain more.

Garden Peace ~if it's not too personal to ask, how old is your daughter? I'm so sorry she is sick. Are you okay? I don't know much about the developer other than he did a good thing, hehe but feel free to email me anytime...I think my email is available in my profile?

Mischa252, thank you so much~ wishing you fast healing, peace and happiness as well.

She's 26 and has been ill since she was 8 or 9 as far as we remember. It came on gradually. She was diagnosed 3 years ago I think. I have it too, probably for the 2nd time, but I'm doing much better with it this time around. I think I was on my way out of the world back then.

Thank you again for sharing your story. Your parents went through a very tough time too. I'm glad they were helping you. I don't know how they got through almost losing you.

I do whatever I can for my daughter and wouldn't change that for anything. If we could just end her headaches, she'd be a lot better. I had them all the time too when I was sick before.

Hello everyone!
Sorry it has taken me so long to get this written up..it's been a busy few days.

I know this is a non-scientific explanation but ...here goes --as I understand it.
PEMF therapy is "Pulsed Electromagnetic Field" therapy...

PEMF therapy was first developed by NASA for the astronauts. You may remember learning about the first astronaut in outer-space?
He left in perfect health and was away from the earths atmosphere for only a couple hours.
He came back in critical condition..very close to death. His nutrition was depleted, his muscles had begun to atrophy and his organs were shutting down. He had severe memory problems, had developed anxiety and depression, etc.
That's when NASA discovered that there is a 5th element to human life/health.
1. Water, 2. air, 3. sun, 4. nutrition and 5. the earths natural magnetic field. We cannot live without it and nothing can take it's place.

The PEMF unit simulates the earths magnetic fields.
In a nut shell -our cells begin to flatten when we do not have enough of the earths natural magnetic fields.
In this day of all the high technology we are surrounded with, it constantly interferes with what we were originally meant to have for health. This is considered disorganized electromagnetic fields ...or electro smog...you know-- cell phones, microwaves, wireless whatever, computers, wi-fi, tons of electricity running through the air constantly and so on.
The technology changes in the last 100 -200 years have been detrimental to cells -so our systems are always struggling to recover from -whatever assault --disease, virus, injury, etc.
So our cells are supposed to be round, fat and happy...when our cells begin to flatten they cannot do their job ---which is to push out the bad and take in the good ..which includes all the elements and of course medicines/herbals as well.
I didn't really know much of this when I rented my unit a year and a half ago. All I knew was that it was suppose to help me with my severe neuropathic pain according to my pain doc. When I started getting well all around -I wanted to better understand it and so the above explanation, in short, is what I have gathered....
I'm sure I have left some things out so please ask any questions and I will try to answer ~~

In just a few minutes, I will post the instructions for the music therapy in case anyone wants to try it! I truly believe, that for my situation that the music therapy really set me up for the power of the pemf therapy...just my humble experience though....

Here is the music therapy instructions and the list of the selections I use.
If someone really dislikes these they are welcome to send me a list they might want to use and I'd be happy to send it to my doc for her approval.
I'm sure people skilled in music and ranges and all can get the idea themselves and choose their own...I have no musical talents though, so I needed the list approved by my doc.
The idea is that the selections must have no words and stay in a range and notes of not too high, not too intense, not too low or too sad or angry...not "too" anything including ting tang-ish...if that makes any sense?

--The music must be at least 3 hours a day for the first 3 months.

--NO other music during that first 3 months (YIKES!I know that part is a downer and I thought it might kill me at first because I used music a lot as a distraction......it was very hard at first for me but it got better and it was doable. I actually love it now and never tire of it.

--Ear buds and headphones are NOT as good as aloud in the room you are in...use them as little as possible.....but definitely use them during any times that aloud music wouldn't be appropriate -in the car with others, doctors office, etc.. Listening during times of stress or anxiety, etc., or playing softly in the background during high pain times is very good. (after awhile, for me, all I had to do is start playing it and although the pain wasn't really lifted, it became very tolerable)

--The music always needs to be in the same order on a loop but any order initially downloaded is fine. You can be doing other things while the music is playing but any just down time listening or during your morning routine- i.e., grooming (lol), eating, driving, even sleeping etc etc, is great! We sometimes have triggers that are initiated through our daily routines...so as many hours one can get in per day will speed up or increase the good results.

--It doesn't have to be loud but any time that can be dedicated to it specifically -again speeds up the new neuro signaling.

I hope this helps others as much as it has helped me~
Please ask any questions!

Much Lymie Love,
S. Grace

That was a good explanation of PEMF. Thanks for posting it!

Hi Girlie,
I missed the post in between up there -I often leave my computer on a page and then miss something because I haven't re-loaded in a while..sorry!
I would think itunes will have them! And if they don't they may have other selections that will work..in the neutral zone, classical with no words.
I'm so glad you want to try it and pray you will have the good results too.
Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
