Hello friends and fellow warriors,
I have missed feeling connected to all of you as my focus and energy has been with my husband and his family recently as they support my brother-in-law who is struggling to recover after a massive heart attack.
So, what is happening at this stage? It's all happy news! My healing is continuing, slowly but surely. July 15th, 2018 was when I felt my first bite from MD, and was lucky to find Mel not too long afterwards.
My symptoms are nearly gone...hallelujah!! I still get the occasional very mild bite, and the occasional tiny sand purging from my skin.My forehead, once a hotspot, occasionally still itches.
I have come to recognize all the now little signs of MD in my body. As you know, we all experience this disease in slightly different ways, though many of us share similar symptoms.
I've learned how vital it is to pay very close attention to how my body feels each day...it is easy, at this stage, to not even notice a tiny bite...it is so mild. I'm watching and listening to my body to see how it is abating.
The course of this disease is like a storm that overwhelms us suddenly with lightning, thunder and curtains of hail, but vanishes with a mild breeze, scattered light showers, and the odd raindrop here and there.
For you newcomers, who are struggling mightily, I want you to know that you WILL get well, just as I and many others have!
Patience is everything. Your anxiety will diminish as you continue with the protocol. Sound sleep, mental and emotional ease, hearty appetite and physical energy will all return to you. Know that you will face bumps and set-backs, but just keep on "keeping on" as Mel always says...stick to the sum of the parts, and you will get there!
I have clung to hope from the horrible beginning, thanks to Mel and my friends here, and that is what brought me through.
love and hugs, Maria |
