Dear Jen

Thank you kindly for your uplifting words today. As the fog is blowing in over the dunes here (such a blessing just to be able to appreciate this), I've been taking your message to heart...just breathing deeply, renewing my connection to a few of my favourite things, and feeling more at peace. This site and people like you already have me feeling so much more hopeful.

Thank you again, Jen, and God bless. Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Love
Lara

Aloha Lara,

I am only on my 3rd month of the protocol and remember VERY vividly being at the beginning not long ago. I can only repeat what everyone else has and encourage you with the guarantee that you WILL feel better. I am praying for you to find peace amidst the storm. What was/is helpful for me is to "get out" literally, spend time outdoors. Even if you only feel well enough to walk, do it. Find somewhere beautiful if you can. Stretch, breathe deeply - just BE. You are alive, exercise gratitude, even if just for that. I found the more I stayed inside the more I focused on the not so pleasant. Think HAPPY thoughts, you don't have to feel like it - you know the old saying "fake it until you make it." There is sooo much proof here that you WILL feel better and you WILL feel happiness again, even if you don't now, hold on to that and try your best to think happy thoughts. Hugs from Hawaii!!!

Dear Ellen

Thank you for your soothing message. It's easy to feel isolated with this disease, especially as I've not heard of anyone else here in South Africa who've been diagnosed. Also, our currency is very weak and airport customs are corrupt, which means that trying to get hold of supplements is a logistical nightmare...

I logged on early this morning, and your words started my day with hope. I've re-read them several times today, as I'm busy sorting stuff for our move. We're getting rid of many/most of our possessions, simplifying our lives to fit into a much smaller country cottage.

I'm especially comforted by the reminder that our health is more important than anything. I've been reading through your back posts, and was relieved to learn about how dealt with finances by borrowing from a family member. We've felt so ashamed to turn to family for help, but now I see that this is unrealistic and unnecessary.

Thank you, Ellen, for your dedication to the forum. Every bit of light makes a big difference to my journey right now. I'm eternally inspired and grateful.

Lara
