Hello my fellow and future warriors!!
Well you can tell I slipped backwards as my 14 month post is coming in about 10 days late, but as we ALL know… better late than never!! September 5th marked 14 months on this AMAZING Protocol and for that I am incredibly GRATEFUL..!!!
Unfortunately, I have had a pretty rough time since my run in with the wall back in late July. Although it took me some time to believe, I “truly” now see that my setback did not stem from my running into the wall as much as my running into the wall happened as a result of the start of my setback. Yes, there you have it Mel and Peter… I was doing too much and I have been paying the price EVER since!!!
I share this for two reasons, one, because I am an honest person and two, because I hope it will help someone else in the future!!! When we first feel like we get our lives back we have soooo much catching up to do… but I am living proof (as I know many before me were too) if you do too much catching up too soon… you will quickly be back to the point of having your life taken away again!!!
It’s been 7 weeks since my concussion and whip lash and I have experienced almost every aspect of this disease all over again in that timeframe. Thanks be to God, minus the crawling, itching and biting. I did however have EXTREME joint pain, swelling, INCREDIBLE fatigue, brain fog, some purging and I even had a scratch appear recently.
I will tell you that setbacks are NO fun but “thankfully” we do now have the knowledge that we can and we will get better “if” we follow the Protocol “exactly” as its been designed and we DO NOT stray from the SUM of the Parts!!!
The other day I was feeling a “little” sorry for myself as I have basically returned to going to work and going home EVERY day thus as mentioned I have little to no life “but” then God so wonderfully reminded me as He often does….
• I can now wear a shirt with buttons (something I hadn’t been able to do for several years as my joint pain/swelling was so bad I couldn’t even open or close a button with my hands) • I can open my open water bottles, jars, etc. (also something I couldn’t do for years) • I have not had a case of shingles in over a year (I had them 8 times in 4 years)
Let me remind you I was 45 when my symptoms initially started and I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis which I now believe was Lyme. I’m 51 now, so like Mel, it’s as if I am reversing the aging process with this Protocol… knowing that the above 3 things have already reversed themselves out of my life in a mere 14 months!!!
As always I will be FOREVER grateful to this community and especially to Mel, John and Peter as without you there would be no me!!!
Wherever you are in your healing journey I recommend 3 sure fire steps for recovery…
1) Look to God first, to guide you, to protect you and to carry you through as He always has and He always will..!!! If you EVER need a reminder and as humans we ALL do, google the Poem Footprints in the Sand, it’s ABSOLUTELY beautiful..!!! 2) Look to yourself second, redirect your thinking during every step of this process “ALWAYS”, “ALWAYS”, “ALWAYS” tell yourself that you are healing, you are winning, you are a warrior!!! 3) Look to this community, here you will find EVERYTHING you need to heal physically, spiritually and mentally!!!
God Bless you all..!!!
Love, Peace & MANY Prayers, Deanna |
