LYME Disease? (My prayer is that you will share this info with someone it could help) Stephanie shares; For He has not despised or abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, and He has not hidden His face from Him - Psalm 22:24 (ear tagged Lyme Disease 2012 in my Bible.) Two years ago (first pic) I was very, very sick. I was newly married and didnt know what was wrong with me. For the past few years I had been experiencing increasing symptoms, but now they were worse than ever. I gained 30 lbs in 3 months, could only stomach VERY limited foods (watermelon and salad for a while), one night I remember rolling around on the floor, groaning in pain. I had frequent panic attacks, suffered a growing number of food intolerances, developed low blood sugar, and couldnt stand any fluorescent lights (that rules out going to the mall, gym, almost any store, even church). Then there was the dizziness... most days were spinning. I remember driving down the road a few times when it hit and I would cry out to God for protection - eventually, I stopped driving at all except for very short distances. I had to give up my hobby of working out - with how I was staggering around the house, there was no way I could even go for a walk by myself outside) I spent many many hours lying on the couch, praying. I remember begging God to please just take me home - I didnt feel alive. I had lost purpose (and energy) for living. After much testing, it was confirmed that I had Lyme Disease, and it had crept into almost every system of my body. Fast forward 1.5 years and youll find me at the second pic. After intense treatment, I was looking much better. I had lost a lot of weight, had a baby, and was feeling much more optimistic. In fact, I was tested for Lymes again and was announced completely free of lyme! (PTL!) However, I couldnt figure out WHY I still had so many symptoms - most of them werent as severe (other than blood sugar levels which were worse than ever - feeling faint almost every morning), but they were still there and still keeping me from doing normal day to day things! I felt weak a lot, suffered from the food intolerances, my digestive system (although much better) was still having trouble functioning, and I was easily overwhelmed at even the smallest things. Thats when God led me to Plexus. I cant begin to describe how GRATEFUL I am that ,most of the aforementioned symptoms dont describe me anymore. I could cry for joy. So this is the new me (3rd pic). Instead of laying on the couch with the room spinning, my stomach in a knot, pleading God to please take me home, I wake up excited for a new day, a chance to see the goodness of God, to LIVE EACH DAY that He gives me TO THE FULL. The echo of my heart is that I could encourage and help others who are walking through the valley of sickness. To be His hands and feet.
