Hello Everyone,

I'm new here...well...I'm not new to the site...I've been reading this site for almost a year now incognito, and have been on the protocol for about three months. I'm not new to the disease either...I figured out I had it about 13 months ago. Since then I've wandered in the wilderness of various "cures," routines, protocols and professional medical help. My biggest challenge so far has been exhaustion and listlessness. Of course...I have all the other things I've read most people have as well...the purging...itching...crawling...pain...etc., and all of this has gotten better to one degree or another, but at the end of the day, in my opinion, the most important piece to this puzzle is me staying focused...and I find the fatigue often interferes with my ability to do so. I've played around with the various applications listed above, and now know what to do. Mel's protocol works better than anything else I've tried...and it has surprisingly quick results. I don't mean a quick cure...I'm aware I'm in this for a long journey, but I did realize very noticeable results once I finally made myself do everything on the protocol day in and day out.

I'm one of the lucky ones who has a doctor who understands Morgellons enough to prescribe antibiotics, etc., and to offer some information as well, but as I was sharing with Mel today, she doesn't have the wide knowledge base about nutrition, supplements, rest, stress reduction, etc. that are available on this site that I believe are necessary to eradicate this disease systemically.

So...with this in mind, I decided to finally go ahead and jump in and join the community. We all need support and my situation is not that different than many others on this site...I'm single...live alone...and my family's support is negligible at best. It's not that they're not good people...it's that they've been influenced by the CDC report. I know this is going to sound odd, but I can say in this case that I'm lucky to also have Lyme disease. At least that's been a term most people understand or have heard of. I work with very nice people as well...and we all work very hard...all have our plate's full, so my interaction with people at work is to do everything I can to keep my end of the load going. That pretty much takes a bite out of my energy every day, but working is what keeps food on the table and supplements in the giant basket of same that I keep not too far from reach at all times.

I try not to talk too much about my illness at work, but my appearance has changed so drastically over the last six to ten months that people who see me intermittently are shocked...I can see it on their faces. For one thing, I've become extremely thin...and I look very tired, gray...and...haggard...for lack of a better term. That's the bad news. The good news is I know I've made gains toward getting well because of the lab work I have done every other month when I have my doctor's appointments. I still have a long way to go, and I'm now convinced that the only real road that leads all the way to the finish line is this protocol.

However...getting to the finish line requires being consistent and persistent. My job requires me to travel to various locations each day, and my schedule is different each day as well. This means I have to really plan ahead and prepare before each day. My problem has, again, been fatigue, and some days I don't get everything planned enough which usually ends up meaning I don't get in all the meds. So...I figured I'd join this forum and request encouragement. I've been doing this alone for so long, and I think it would be nice to be able to share with others who are going through the same thing.

And...with that thought, I'd like to add that I just had a one on one coaching session with Mel this morning, and that made a significant difference. I had some very particular questions about things I haven't yet seen on the site, and his answers were thorough, practical, and helpful. During the course of the conversation, I also found out at least two things I've been doing wrong that, when corrected, should allow me to see a greater degree of success. However...the biggest thing was the feeling of relief in his reassurance that this can be done. He's very straightforward...no nonsense...but very entertaining and funny. His positive energy was the sunshine I needed on my rainy day attitude, and I'm very grateful for his assistance. I look forward to future coaching sessions, and am also looking forward to interacting with and learning from this online community.

Blessings,

Karen

Hi Brenda,

Something similar happened to me with the almond milk. My husband bought a carton of original almond milk with the unsweetened by mistake and I didn't notice it. The second day or so, I told him that I was really getting used to the almond milk because it was starting to taste sweet to me. Ha! As soon as I said it, I began to get suspicious of that "unsweetened" almond milk tasting so sweet and went to the fridge to take a good look at it.

Yes, it was original, not unsweetened. So, I didn't drink any more of it. I knew I should have realized sooner, because it did not agree with my body as it should have. I knew I didn't pay attention to my body as I should have.

It sounds like you realized you were off track almost right away, which is good.

I am glad you are starting to feel a little better.

Cheryl

Dear Brenda,

It sounds as if you need to rest and that is most important. Thank you for sharing the importance of checking the ingredients before buying or trying new things. I found this to be true when I ate ONE table spoon of potato salad with mayonnaise in it. Wow does my body dislike mayonnaise. So; lesson learned

The website offers a plethora of information most important for our healing. It is great that you listen, read, and post as part of your healing process. May God continue to bless you on your journey to restoring your health.

In Christ Love,
Laura (aunt)
