My apologies for the cob webs that have collected here as I have not posted in MONTHS. I started just sharing more of my journey on my facebook posts. But this blog is a place where I can provide a lot more detail.
First off- I SO SO appreciate all of you who read my blog. It lets you in on my life and journey and provides awareness of just how life stealing and serious auto immune disease can be.
The main reason I've been slacking is because I've been living a lot more since plexus came into my life. At first it was the honeymoon stage of this initial reactions and pure joy of " oh my gosh, I CAN get out of bed!!" with a whole lot of " I CAN's" to follow as opposed to living with a whole lot of " I can't. :/
What I want people to know is yes my life has been flip upside down since beginning plexus products. However I still live with these diseases in my body and I still question God on why. I cope with it more KNOWING HE HAS A PLAN for it all and that I don't have to lay in bed all the time. But I would be lying if I didn't say I don't still ask for true complete healing, diagnosis free, lab results negative in my prayers EVERYDAY.
I never want to HIDE anything about the struggle. Because I did that for too long and I realized people didn't get it- not even my own family. I pride myself on being a person of authenticity and a truth teller so I want to tell you how it is and be completely real, honest and open. And also because I need people to get it. We all do. It's so much less of a struggle when we have others to come along side us in our struggles.
I get frustrated when claims are made and when you talk to that person directly the claims don't seem to be what they are. A lot of people have commented on my post being excited for me that my life has changed so dramatically since beginning plexus and it absolutely has! There is so much I couldn't do before that I now can. But there is still so much I am unable to do because of this F&*%-Up disease that for now I still have to deal with.
My wrist fused when they were inflamed badly for about 2 and half years straight. So I lost so much function and fine motor skills in my hands. I have pain as I type this. I still can't open a water bottle or put a pillow in a pillow case. I can't shoot a basketball ( a sport I love and coached) but I don't focus on those things I focus on what I CAN do like bathe myself on my own and dress myself, walk, make a meal again, comb my daughters hair, vacuum (sometimes), decorate my Christmas tree with my daughter, walk on beach sand with out much struggle or pain. Eat something that not AIP approved and not be left bedridden because of it. I can HUG my daughter and she can sit in my lap- she REALLY makes up for lost time with this doing it like 10 times or more a day!!
So has plexus cured me from RA or lupus? No it hasn't. But what it has done is priceless. It has decreased my pain so much and it has made me have energy again. It tackled my anemia and I am no longer anemic. It has restored my relationships with several friends and family. It has been a financial blessing to my family. Ill never stop sharing plexus. Since sharing I have witnessed 5 RA warriors experience relief like I have and for that a lone it is FAR worth it!
This blog will begin being about a lot more then just living with auto immune. :)
