Brian, I have been battling this disease for over 2 years. However, I have been on this protocol for only 11 months. It took over a year to find this community. The good news is I have slowly but surely been regaining my "new" life.
The term "new" life is because we will never be the same after conquering MD. Therefore it is a new life. This new life is one of a better relationship with our Lord. The old life my relationship was good; my new life the relationship is amazing. The old life consisted of taking antibiotics every other month and unaware what bio-terrain was. The new life understands it takes time to restore my bio-terrain because it took years to harm it. The old life was not concerned about ingredients in some of the foods I ate. The new life reads foods labels and understands how to make better food choices. The old life took things for granted. The new life appreciates the simple things in life. So I must say the new me is doing better! I am not in the 100% club yet. But I will be; I will not give up!
Please learn everything you can from this disease. There are so many phases of healing and each one is equally important. Do not give in no matter how crazy things get. I promise you we all have our science fiction version of what we are dealing with or have already dealt with. Give us updates of the good, the bad, and the science fiction you are dealing with. We are here for you.
“Your righteousness, God, reaches to the heavens, you who have done great things. Who is like you, God? Though you have made me see troubles, many and bitter, you will restore my life again; from the depths of the earth you will again bring me up. You will increase my honor and comfort me once more.” Psalms 71:19-21
In Christ Love, Laura
