I was 1st diagnosed in 1992 and immediately took Abx. This pattern repeated at least 20 times in 10 years before I began to wake up about how toxic treatment was. I spent many years denying my diagnosis, not knowing what to do, just living a fear based life. In 2009, I fully changed my perspective, my diet and my lifestyle. Many friends fell away and new friendships formed. I am still struggling daily with pain and fatigue but have a better attitude about chronic illness. My family is doing the best they can, I have to try alot harder. I am prematurely aged with many of the same health problems and then some as my 85 yr old mother. I am where I am because of a spiritual and toxic crisis that was taking place in my spirit and body unbeknowst to me. I take responsibility for it. I knew so little then and now I am so very grateful for the eye opening education this illness has afforded me. I will heal in time, I have faith in that and in my own resiliencyand power to recover. I am open to disuss my journey with anyone who is open to share info and be a positive force in the world!
