Who am I kidding it’s ALWAYS testimony time when I share with this community!! This however, I felt could not wait even 5 days or so until my 13 month post. So like MANY others in this community I’ve had a little setback in my current recovery… just when I proclaimed I was 90% or more on the recent conference call… well it’s pretty safe to say I hit a wooden door frame (vs a brick wall) that LITERALLY knocked me backwards!!! As I have mentioned “repeatedly” I do still suffer from morning fatigue and on occasion it can and will be pretty severe!!! Last Wednesday, unfortunately or fortunately depending on how you look at it, was one of those days!!! In my sleepy, morning stupor, I headed for my attached bathroom to hit snooze on my alarm that was going off and grab another MUCH needed 10 minutes of sleep… I do not keep ANY electronics in my bedroom thus my phone/alarm is always in the attached bathroom. While rushing towards the alarm, I was apparently moving at a fast pace AND…. I apparently NEVER opened my eyes as I ran straight into the wooden door frame with the right hand side of my forehead. OUCH!!!!! I honestly saw stars, I was knocked backwards and fell into a sitting position on to my bed. I am pretty sure there were circles spinning around and above my head at that exact moment… much like you’d see in the cartoons!?!?! I had a knot the size of a small bouncy ball almost immediately. All I could think was REALLY…?!?!?! Then it dawned on me, apparently God was telling me LOUD AND CLEAR to slow down and to rest more!!!! Maybe next time I’ll listen sooner so the communication does not have to be soooooo drastic!!!! I did manage to go to work but once there I was nauseous, had a horrible headache and was experiencing blurred vision. I was pretty sure I had a mild concussion. Knowing that there’s not much you can do for a mild concussion other than rest… I decided to do just that, canceled all plans and even left work early. By the evening hours my neck was also really bothering me and my left foot/ankle was severely swollen, so I headed to bed extra early. I was awoken in the middle of the night with SHOOTING pains in my left arm and feared the worst… possibly an indication of a heart problem?!?!? When I woke up on Thursday the swelling in my feet and ankles was worse than it was when I went to bed, my back which hasn’t bothered me in months hurt, and my head and neck were both throbbing. So I decided I better make some phone calls and let me just say what an awesome team I have in my corner… I spoke to Peter first, then my Acupuncturist and then my Integrated Doctor… they all agreed the swelling and the pain was an inflammation response. I am sharing this because Peter and Mel have talked about the damage inflammation can do to anyone but especially to us while we are healing and they are NOT exaggerating!!! By Friday morning when I woke up I was in horrific pain from head to toe!!! I felt VERY similar to when I was initially diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis and EVERY bone in my body literally felt as if it were broken!!! Per my conversation with Peter, I backed off of all oils yes even the good ones (coconut oil, kerrygold butter, etc.) and increased my green leafy vegetable intake as well as my cruciferous vegetables, ginger, turmeric and garlic. I continued to treat with essential oils, my head where the knot was with lavender and the back on my neck with frankincense. I also went in to see my Acupuncturist and Integrated Doctor for a dual appointment, they agreed I have a mild concussion and actually have whiplash, which explains the neck pain and confirms that I hit that door frame VERY hard, and that my body was in a full blown inflammation response as a result of it. I had Acupuncture and Osteopathic Manipulation completed at the same time which they are hoping will help my body realign and heal itself as our bodies are supposed to do. By Friday night I also saw an increase in the dreaded pimpling that I recently said was down to about 5% in my body… of course the increase was substantial in my opinion and was all in my face. YIKES!!! As part of my testimony I will tell you I had backed off of treating my ears, eyes and nose with silver to a couple times a week… but when the pimpling increased I increased my silver treatment too, I resumed daily treatment and voila by this morning my face is back to normal. Now THIS time I will not back off but will continue to treat my ears, eyes and nose daily with silver. If you’re not doing this I highly recommend you start!!!! I of course would appreciate all prayers that this reverses itself out completely in the VERY near future and that I listen to God and Mel and maintain a slow and steady course on my continued journey to 100% health restoration!!!! Love, Peace & MANY Prayers, my fellow warriors!!! Deanna | |||
