Morgellons - Counting My Blessings

Hi Everyone.

This last week has been sort of a new awakening for me
There are so many things to be thankful for.

First the blessing of getting my health back even though it has taken some time.
I know that I wouldn't be able to work if I didn't have the protocol and advice from Mel and those wonderful people who are better and continue reaching out to help. If I didn' t get sick with this condition I would still be eating junk and not know all the many many things I have learned here. There is so much information.

I know that God has a plan. I never would have moved to this tiny community if I had found an apartment elsewhere. It has so much to offer. It is beautiful and farmland and there are fruit and vegetable stands (non GMO) on every corner.

There is a Christian thrift shop and the lady who runs it is a pastor and counselor and a friend. She has started small women healing groups and I attended one this week. I loved it and will go back. She told me I isolate and that these women will love me and really the hugs and prayer I received were well received. I kind of floated home.

A while ago I was in a bad state. I was seriously sleep deprived and starting a new job. Because of all the stress I fell and hurt my back. I went to a wellness chiropractor and he has gotten me to be in much less pain. We have talked a lot about nutrition and a plant based lifestyle. He told me this week I have gotten so much better and look so much better. He said he can tell when people really want to get well. He got emotional and hugged me.

I am so thankful for this website and the knowledge I've gotten. I have been taking PPIs for many years because of severe digestion issues. I didn't realize how bad they are for you causing all kinds of additional problems. They can cause SIBO which is very hard to get rid of. They can cause dementia and even cancer. I've been reading a lot about it and also watched you tupe videos. So I have decided (with encouragement from a friend) to wean off them myself. I am down to 1 and less than a half. I read that someone who weaned himself off used empty capsules and put the half part into it. That way the stomach acid doesn't destroy the pill before it can be so use. Another lady used the capsules that have the tiny dot and took out one dot every day until they were all gone. So far I'm actually doing OK.
I believe this has been causing me to not be able to digest a lot of my food so cant wait to see what happens. I'm also learning what foods make me sick. I cant drink almond milk and coconut milk really does a number on my stomach. So I am using oat milk for my shakes without a problem.

My washing machine stopped working this week. I believe it is a good thing because it had a really funky smell which nothing worked. Now it is downright disgusting and I think it may be moldy inside. People are coming Tuesday to remove it.

My granddaughter graduated this year. It has been rough at times. Shes staying in a dorm even though we live 15 min. From college. Everyone of my friends say now I can start working on myself. It is bittersweet but I'm learning to accept it and even getting a little excited. I've never lived alone but I have the cats.

Anyway I just wanted to write an uplifting post. I pray for all of you every day and I know we will all get better.

THE LORD HIMSELF GOES BEFORE YOU. Deuteronomy 31:8


And will be with you, He will never leave you nor forsake you
Do no one afraid; do not be discouraged

Love
Linda

Hi All. Just checking in. I'm thinking of all of you and praying that everyone is getting well.

I am doing better but working a lot. When you hear people say no one wants to work it means we are desperate for all kinds of help
I am blessed to have this job. If I can ease suffering I am happy to and there is so much every day there.

My granddaughter will be moving into her dorm in 6 days. I am looking forward to some peace but I will truly miss her.

My cats will keep me company I'm sure
The smaller one is a pistol. In fact she flew across the living room like s speeding bullet jumped in the air and threw herself at my tv. ?!.

I'm down to less than half of a pill of ppi. Mel said I was moving to fast. Slow and steady. I got really I'll so I'm doing what he says.

Have a wonderful day. I'm sad to miss John B but will be listening to the recording.

Love to everyone.
Linda

Hi Chrissie.

I hope all is well.

As of this week I'm down to just a little over half a pill as compared to 2 pills per day. Putting the pill that I cut the half off in a capsule helps a lot. Also a lot of digestive enzymes and eating small meals more often. If I eat too much or eat something I cant digest I'm sick or not eating at all isn't good either.

I've gotten through graduation party and family reunion without too much trouble.

I am feeling like I have a little more energy as well.

I'm grateful to be here with all of you and have gotten the information I needed to learn how bad PPIs are for you. I wouldn't have known and just kept blindly taking them.

I'm also blessed to have such wonderful friends.

Take care Everyone and thank you Chrissie for your kind and caring words

Love
Linda
