Having lived through female troubles for a lot of my life, I cried reading this, because Heather now has a pretty normal life! If you or someone you love struggles with PCOS or Endometriosis, PLEASE read her story........... For those of you who wanted the full testimony, here it is...along with a new updated after picture since I changed my hair color You will find that I am an open book because I feel that to many things concerning female issues are just brushed under the rug because number one it is a very personal subject and number two so many people...even the people battling it dont really understand often times we are made to feel like its all in our heads. Well, its not. Its a very real struggle when you have PCOS and/or Endometriosis (I have the good fortune of having both). I got so sick of people telling me to just push back from the table or walk more ect. I did all those things. I starved myself, I worked out, I did it all and nothing helped. I was given Metformin for the PCOS but was allergic to it so the doctors told me the only option was to lose weight to get the disease under control but it would be hard because PCOS pretty much makes it impossible to lose....well duh...I had figured that one out. I had surgeries for Endo and it would come back faster than they told me it would. I had my son in 2005 using Clomid and it never worked for me again so its a miracle I have my child. I started using Plexus in August 2013 and it has been the answer to many prayers. Like many I was a skeptic but I thought what could it hurt, they will just give me my money back. I probably would have already had a hysterectomy had it not been for my husband being diagnosed with a form of Leukemia called Aplastic Anemia right after my last Endo surgery in 2012 and us going on a 2 year journey with his illness, a bone marrow transplant and recovery. He was disabled for a while and was on Cobra so I lost my insurance for a while and really just didn’t have time to take care of myself….yes, I gained even more weight. Before I found Plexus (or it found me) I had told my husband that as soon as life was “normal” again and I was covered I was having surgery. This is my very personal testimony about how Plexus has helped me and my female issues….it may be TMI to share in a public forum and I know some people just wouldnt understand but I know there are about 80% of you women out there that would be happy and cry tears of thankfulness with me so I am just going to go out on a limb and share it because I feel that I need to. PCOS and Endometriosis is a very real struggle for so many women and I have battled both since I was 13....I am 36 now so you do the math on how long I was miserable and you can see for yourself (if you know anything about these diseases then you know the fact that I have a child is a total miracle from God). From the day I started using Plexus Slim (I started with just the Slim and a month later started adding other products) there were signs that it was helping these issues. Woke up with no pain on day 2. My husband said by night two I slept calmly without moaning in pain and moving trying to get comfortable. When I started drinking Plexus I was lucky if I had a cycle every two years (one time per year on my own and things were really looking up) and my doctor would give me Provera every few months to make things do what they were supposed to do and if youve never had to take that stuff be thankful. I also had surgeries. Like I said, I was begging for a hysterectomy right before I found Plexus. I had been on Plexus for a month when I had a cycle then 5 months later I had another one and then 3 months later I had another. I was so super excited but my doctor still didnt think that was good enough...he gave me a years worth of refills on Provera and told me to take them every 60 days and guess what? It is still sitting there unfilled because 2 months later I had another then 48 days later I had another then finally just had a 38 day cycle and we all know normal is 28 or 30 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am almost normal!!!!! I am no longer begging for surgery and am not reminded every time I move or wake up in the morning that I am a woman and Eve messed it up for the rest of us. I have also been able to lose weight for the first time in years (down 4 dress sizes). By my second week into my journey with Plexus my blood pressure went from running 160/90 (sometimes 100 on that bottom number) to running steady at 120/70 and my blood sugars are also no longer borderline. The best part that still blows my mind is having a cycle and not even knowing it’s about to happen because I don’t feel like I’m dying. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I no longer want to spend a week laying in the fetal position rocking and crying. I wanted to share this story with these timelines so people can see that this was not an overnight thing….it didn’t happen in one month or even 3 months. It took me being consistent and faithful for a year. If I had stopped after one month when I got that first cycle I wouldn’t be where I am right now. And oh yeah, I’m fine with my lady parts now and have no intentions of getting them removed because my doctor says it’s fine and there are no signs of anything that are cause for concern. I’m also sharing more photos so you can see overall how my body has changed…right down to my feet. 11 months into my Plexus journey I lost 2 shoe sizes!!!!!!! Yeah, that’s what happens when you stick with something!!!!!! I truly cannot imagine…nor do I want to…where my life would be right now without Plexus. I was on a downward spiral to very bad health and lots of pain and misery.
