I have been here one and a half years, but in the beginning, I did not have my family's support and had to have a surgery that caused me to have to get off the protocol and everything. I knew Mel and his advice was the answer so I prayed and prayed and eventually God worked it all out for me, in quite miraculous ways!! So.....It has been a year on the protocol faithfully!! The difference in where I was to where I am now, is dramatic!! Back then, I never slept. I had huge dark purple circles around my eyes. My diet from the past was horrible. I was eating an enormous amount of sugar because I wasn't aware of what contained sugar!! I had no energy. I was listless and depressed. I didn't know what was wrong with me and couldn't find help! I wasted all my savings and tons of valuable time and money hunting for a diagnosis! And, Yes!!! I went to many doctors!! I had the creepy crawlies. the bites, the stings, the itching, the bumps, the scars or tunnels all over. I was miserable and had said, "If I have to live like this, then I don't want to live!" This coming from a Christian! That's what kind of shape I was in! But, I believe God sent me to Mel and his website. Then over time, worked it out so that I had no opposition and could do everything Mel guided me to do !! The dramatic difference? 1. I can sleep!! Sometimes 8-10 hrs. at a time!! I had never done this before. I lived on 6-7 hours at the most, most of my life. Sometimes 5 ! But, with the Morgellons, I was not sleeping at all! I actually sleep now!! 2. I have a good healthy diet now! I have learned so much about food through this journey, it has changed the way I feel about food and the way I will eat the rest of my life when I am well. Moderation is the key!! 3. I have energy now and want to go outside and do things I have not done in a long time. I am no longer listless and depressed. 4. I rarely feel anything on my body anymore. Just in my feet or head, my two exit points. Yes!!!! It has gotten so much better! 5. I don't feel alone and isolated anymore! I have made new friends here in this community and have rekindled old relationships through facebook and phone, whereas I used to shy away from people because of this disease. 6. I no longer have a spirit of fear! 2nd Timothy 1:7 7. I have found a special friend, guide, mentor, (our HAWK) in Mel. What an honor to have him in our lives!!! 8. I have regained true joy in life again!! True happiness in this community, in friends, in relatives, in daily routines, chores, and success in life! 9. I have written a children's book in this healing process and it is in the process of being published. And, I am working on book # two. 10. But, most of all, the greatest joy of all.... is that this journey has brought me so much closer to God and rekindled a close relationship with God on a deeper level. And, He is speaking to me and revealing wisdom to me like never before!! This to me is priceless!! Mel has told me before that many that go through this journey, in the end, they are actually glad and wouldn't change anything, because of what they have learned, gained, and experienced while battling this disease, it is worth far more than gold!! I tend to believe it is true. I believe it will be for me!!! Yes, I have Lyme and Morgellons and yes, it has been rough to say the least ! However, this experience has changed me and is continuing to change me and it is GOOD! Although I would not wish this disease on anyone, it can be so horrible and intense, I for one, will be glad I fought it and won and be grateful for what I gained through it all !! I still have a ways to go for complete wellness, but I can see it in the distance and nothing will stop me!! I have learned to look for the good, joy, kindness, happiness, compassion, caring, and sweetness in others, in situations and yes even in suffering. This attitude makes a world of difference. Philippians 4:11-13 Trust Him and be content in all situations. Paul knew the secret!!! In closing, Thank you dear comminity for your love and support! Mel....there will never be enough words of thanks, love, and honor to you dear friend!!! You have my heart!!!! SO......Keep going, keep plugging, keep running for the finish line, maybe we can cross it together!!!! I love you all !! Luke 1:37 Matthew 19:26 Nothing is impossible with God, with God all things are possible!! Love & Hugs, Rockin Robin |
