Just read this testimony from our Fibromyalgia testimony page! Wow if you know anyone who suffers please have them talk to me!! Im going to go way back because it helps with my more serious health problem, Fibromyalgia. I was diagnosed with IBS in 2001 and since then have battled serious digestion issues. Ive tried all kinds of fiber products over the years, with no help (until I found Melaleuca)... these problems were severe while pregnant and I couldnt take prenatals with either children because I couldnt absorb them. Fast forward to spring of 2012 after years of poor absorption and nonexistent gut health, when a Migraine hit me (not uncommon in my family) but this one lasted a week. Towards the end of the week, I had major muscle pains in my lower back and hip. The day the pain subsided from the migraine, I immediately had screaming searing pain in my legs then all of a sudden shooting down my arm. I thought I was having a heart attack so my fiancé rushed me to the emergency room. 8 hours later, countless pain meds and C-T scans, I was released, exhausted but without any answer or change to the pain. It got so severe, I went on medical disability leave from my job, went to a myriad of specialists and underwent a litany of tests. I went to chiropractors, massages, and every other day a physical therapist. At the end of four months I was able to walk again, but that was about it. I was in insane pain, my honey thought I would be bedridden for the rest of my life. In my early thirties, this was not something I wanted to accept, though many many days I would succumb to depression. My work said you either come back now or you quit, so I went back. At this time, I had to have a diagnosis to go back to work, and was given the catch all autoimmune disorder diagnosis of Fibromyalgia. I researched it endlessly and discovered diet and additives might be the culprit. I cut out MSG, artificial sweeteners and pretty much anything I couldnt pronounce on a food label. I stumbled upon candida overgrowth and that research about 6 months ago. Finding out that candida cells seep into your body from the gut and replicate into muscle cells, tissue cells and nerve cells and your body knows there are too many of those kinds of cells and just attacks the whole group - that candida was responsible for chronic pain was a huge discovery because it meant that I could possibly overcome it. However, strict dieting, candida detoxing and candida die-off was so intense! It was just something I could never accomplish on my own. And all this time I was in pain, 24/7. Its a discouraging thing to realize you could live in a state of varying pain levels, without any relief. I continued to struggle with the anxiety and depression over it, thought trying to stay positive. Finally, the end of March came and my friend, Tawni Loyd started something Id never heard of, and I won a 3 day trial pack from her. I thought, great, Ill lose some weight! It went good, I liked the energy, I lost a little weight and a small amount of inches, it was cool. However, when day 4 hit and my fibro flare up in my legs STARTED back up, I realized I hadnt been in pain the last 2 days. What?! No pain? I thought long and hard and realized I hadnt even noticed because pain was so constant I didnt always think about it. I called Tawni Loyd and immediately knew I needed to be back on Plexus, stat. I knew I wouldnt go off it, so I was sure I wanted right in as an ambassador to get the wholesale price. By day 2 back on it, the pain was GONE. For people who arent in pain, screaming nerve pinching pain all up your arms, down your legs every single day for two years, this is huge. I can now be a better more active mom, I can dance on my wedding day, Im not afraid to get pregnant again with my soon to be husband or to honeymoon in Vegas and be able to sight see with out constantly having to feel like Im ruining everyones good time by needing to go relax in bed. The energy I have, the lack of IBS symptoms and being down 19 pounds is a plus, dont get me wrong... but being able to say I am healthy. I am Fibro-pain free? This is priceless and it brings a tear to my eye each time I think about it. Sorry for the long story, I guess Ive never tried to tell my story. I currently take plexus slim, 2 biocleanse and 1 probio5 in the am, and 2 biocleanse and 1 more probio5 at bedtime.
