A Mother with Lots of Medical Problems

I am a stay home mom / mimi. I know how you feel when you don't have energy and feel bad all the time. Until, I found a program that changed my life. Now I work from home, and feel great, I have so much more energy now, I have more mental claried, and I lost 12lb. and 25 in. in 18 days. I am on my way to making more money than ever before. If you are interested in the program my email is ____@____.com I will reply with a link for you to check out.

A Little about me

My age is 54. I have 3 children and 4 grandchildren. Ages are 34,31,27 9,5,3,2

First of all W., I am so sorry to hear of all these problems, but congratulations on outliving the doctors expectations! You have too many people that love you and depend on you for you to be sick or for that matter to die!
You are right about not knowing when your time will be to go, but there are a few things you can do to strengthen your immune system and to be healthier. May I suggest a few sources? When my family has a health issue, we usually don't ask a doctors advice. (Their advice is usually some superpill that will cover up the symptom. When I am sick, I want to pull the problem from the root, and rid my body of it completely!) First of all, we pray about it, and then we look on www.mercola.com for a natural remedy. If I can't find one there, I research somewhere else for natural remedies. Even though we are Christians, and we believe in healing, we also have to take our health into our own hands. It is up to us to take care of our bodies. A lot of what our bodies problems is the direct result of our diet and lifestyle. Also some more great books are The miracle diet by Jordan Rubin, and the health books by Dr. Don Colbort. Please check into these sources! They will be worth your while. You and your family deserve you to be healthy, and to live a long time. You are only 45!

Lots of love and prayers!

You just leave every thing in Gods hand. He knows best. He we take care of you and your family. You are in my prayers. God Bless You

W.,
I will include you in my prayers each night. I will pray for you to be well and comfortable. You are blessed to have five children and a good husband! I hope 2008 will be a good year for you.

Although I am thankful for the medical community, they are not the answer to long-term health. All your bodies ailments are your body's way of communicating that dietary and lifestyle changes need to be made. Major causes of deteriorating health are improper nutrition, stress, lack of exercise, lack of sleep. To educate yourself on proper nutrition I recommend this site www.westonaprice.org. It is solid traditional advice that is time-tested and proven for healthy disease free lives and especially fertility and doesn't follow trends or fads. It is how your grandparents ate before the modern food revolution where we now eat improperly processed, denatured, refined, devoid of nutrition, full of synthetic vitamins foods. JUNK. Our bodies won't thrive on that. For support contact a local weston a price chapter. They are all over the world and they help people find good sources of eggs, meat, chicken, ect. They also have meetings to educate how to eat and prepare good foods. If you can find a nutritionist that is based on these principles (important) then that would tremendously helpful as well. I am going to take a course in May and another this fall that lasts 9 months to get my Nutritional Therapist license. They are based on these traditional principles. I want to help people such as yourself. Best of Luck. Remember it doesn't happen overnight. Take it step by step. If you have further questions you may contact me at ###-###-####. C.

Hello W.!

I'm 40 years old and was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2001. I have two boys, ages 4 and 7. I wanted to let you in on some advice that many people have given me. POSITIVE THINKING!!!! I try not to worry about tomorrow and just live everyday and enjoy!!! I know it's hard when you are sick, but God does have a plan, as you know. So just look to Him when you get really down. The mind is a powerful tool in dealing with all of life's trials and tribulations. Also make sure that you are excersizing and follow a good diet with LOTS of vegetables and fruits. You should also make sure you follow a good vitamin regimen daily. Airborn is a product you can also try to "ward off" getting sick so easily. You can get it at a drugstore over the counter. I have terrible trouble with depression and it can be very trying at times. I have recently found the "right" antidepressant (Effexor) for my system and feel so much better!! Definately try to find the right one for you... it will make a huge difference if your mind is free from that chaos of depression. My prayers are with you and your family. Positive thoughts your way and keep your faith.

Dear W. W. I am 46 too. I like you am disabiled I have many health problems including Lupus. I am also a retired R.N. after working in the health field over 20 years I think the best most helpful thing that a person with so many health problems can do is to find the right Dr.. That is much easier said than done. I think it is very important to not only find a Dr. w/knoowledge about your health problems but maybe more important to find a Dr. that will listen to you and not discount your symptoms or what your body is tryingto tell you. Please don't be afraid to stand up for yourself if you don't connect w/ your Dr. than go to the next one until you find one that well listen to you and not just poohpooh you're health problems.I also have osteo and rheumatiod arthritis, Slourns,fibermyalgia,hypothyroidism,depression,and other health problems. It has taken a long time for me to find a Dr. that I can work well with in facing my health problems..good luck and God Bless you. Peggy

In addition to what Anne said, relish the good days when they come. Enjoy every good minute that you get.

I'll keep you in my prayers.

W.,
I will definitely keep you and your family in my prayers. It sounds like the Lord has blessed you in so many ways, and now the blessing of more time with the family you love. I don't have any advice other than try to enjoy every second.

Hi W.

I am very sorry that you are going through all of this.**HUGS** I have always been told that the LORD only puts on your shoulders what you can handle. And that HE is always with you. I believe it strongly. Sometimes it is very hard to understand. But just try to remember that HE is with you. And that HE does listen. I don't know if they have you on anything for depression, but if not you might want to look into that. I really don't have much advice. Only to say if you are able Live Life to the best that you can. Enjoy the time that you have with your family.I do not mean for this to be a lecture or anything. Plz forgive me if it sounds that way. I will pray for you and your family.Blessings

J.

I usually just read and not respond, but in your case, I feel I just have to respond to you. You see, I've been in your shoes. In '94 I was diagnosed with Lupus, Fibromyalgia, Graves disease (all auto-immune diseases) and several other things associated with Lupus. For 6-7 yrs I went thru hell, with all that was involved. Being in/out hospital, kidneys failing from time to time, bloodclots in legs, trials of different meds, so much pain I was in bed or couch most of the time, went thru a very difficult depression and was taking 65-80 pills a day, plus 'drinking' a med to counteract the 'stripping' of lining of my throat. I was miserable to put it mildly. I could go on and on, but you get the general idea.
I'm now 62 yrs, and a GGma to 3. I was always a VERY active person, doing whatever I wanted and had more energy than my sons-39, 37, 36 this yr- and Gkids. So when I was told my life had to change, man, it threw me for a loop. Over time and yrs, I realized I had to slow down to a crawl and take naps during the day. For a very active person, that's next to impossible. But was told if I wanted to live I had too.
About 4 1/2 yrs ago, our youngest son, Jim, had found something he wanted me to try and was sure it would help. I thought, yeah sure. Ok, after being very septical for months,
and months of him talking to me, I decided to try the products. Within a few months I was starting to feel better, I had more energy, my hair was starting to come back (hair, eyelashes, eyebrows fell out due to meds) and was getting thicker than before, my complection looked like an alive person and was starting to lose weight. (big weight gain from steriods) My rhuematoid specialist was noticing a difference. Of course I didn't come off meds for awhile, but with watchful eye of doctor, I started cutting back and after taking the products for about 6 months I decided I was tried of taking gobs of pills a day with other things to counteract meds.
Today, I'm back to 'almost' normal, I take occassional pain med (when weather is cold/damp), I can do anything I want- swim, ride my bike, whatever. And with the blessing of my doctors, I'm off all my perscription meds, only having a checkup/bloodwork every 6 months. There is no sign of the Lupus. It's been this way now for almost 4 yrs. And I thank God for a very persistant son.
I'm not pushing any products, but I wanted you to know my story. The products that changed my life are Neways products - toxic/chemically free of any carcinogens. Dr. Samuel Epstein, chairman of the Cancer Prevention Coalition stands behind these products. I completely changed my nutritional, health and wellness, personal care and household products to Neways products. As toxins enter our body the fastest thru drinking, eating and water (also bathes). My specialist had told me to stay with what I was doing, as I was getting healthy and I looked the best he had seen me. He even asked my permission to give others patients my name. And that's a medical doctor. Luckily, I have the best as he understood alternatives. Plus, I make a good living from the products. If my testimony helps the least bit, I thank God for what I've gone through. God Bless.......

W., God bless you. I will keep you in my prayers. It sounds like you are having a tough time. I am glad you have God to depend on. I agree with what some have said - make sure to make time for yourself. I'm sure God will put someone in your path that can help you. Keep the faith, and know others are praying for you!

W. despite your health problems you are truly blessed. It sounds like you have so many people that surround you with love. I hope your doctors are giving you something to treat with the depression. If you don't have a pastor seek out one to help guide you and listen to you. Eating healthy is always important. I have found that when I make my own juices it gives me so much energy. It's great and something that the whole family can enjoy. Think positive and know that there are many people out there saying some powerful prayers for your healing.

Dear W., I'm a mom of five at home who had a massive stroke. I survived the stroke, and thanks to rehab can function. But oh, the depression, the slowness of mind, the emotional lability, the weakness, and tiredness, and neurological problems make life with little ones difficult many days.

My advice --

1. Eat right. Through my trials I concluded that at least my doctors, wonderful as they are, know next to nothing about nutrition and health. www.mercola.com is a great source for health and nutrition info.

2. I take a fistful of vitamins and fish oil and am convinced it helps.

3. Make time for W.. EXERCISE at least 4x a week, pray, read and journal.

4. Say NO to stuff that just gobbles up your energy. You know what it is ;)

Thinking of you,
A.

God bless you, prayers are sent your way!

To W. and all the wonderful moms and ladies that have responded, we have a powerful tool here that we all can take advantage of.

Each day at 8:00 pm central time I say a prayer for our country, ask God to Bless America, Bless and watch over our troops at home and abroad and Bless and watch over my family and friends. Now I'd like to add Bless all the Moms at Mamasource.com. It is said that Prayers can move mountains, well lets all pray for all the moms and ladies of this world and we will move more than mountains.

Each day at 9:00 pm ET, 8:00 pm CT, 7:00 pm MT and 6:00 pm PT stop whatever you are doing and pray. I think God will hear our prayers and something good will come from it.

J.

W....Yes first of all I feel for you and know that prayer does work and I will defiantly lift you up in prayer for all your health issues...I truly believe first and foremost for that.
Please don't take this the wrong way or think that I am trying to sell you something....But have you ever tried the Mona vie juice that has the ACAI berry and 18 other fruits in it??? It is doing amazing things for people and their health (mine included)...I have a friend in Oregon that is now drinking it and it literally has saved her life and her husbands. Here is her story:

DRINKING MONAVIE after 5 weeks

I being a mom of 7 children (1 recently adopted) and 1 wonderful grand daughter. I'm a stay at home wife along with caring for our mini Farm. This all keeping me very active with no time to rest.

Jen Martin of Dallas Oregon

Her husband also has hemicromatosis (sp?) It has totally helped him and made him where he has his coloring back and where he has the energy to work and make a living. So both have tremendous stories to tell and there are many many more to tell you, but too much to put on here...but I would love to send you some more testimonials and information on Mona vie to see what it could possibly do for you.
Mona vie is not a cure all, but it seems to be doing a whole lot of good for people and their health and their energy levels.
Here is an article from Dr. Oz and Dr. Pericone both saying Oprah the #1 fruit to be drinking is the ACAI berry...And Mona vie has it in it's purist and organic form.

Dr. Oz says:
• #1 fruit to be drinking is the “ACAI berry”
• #2 Blueberries
• Need 5 to 7 fruit servings a day
• Anti-oxidants very important

Reasons to drink Mona vie with ACAI every day: have all and more of the fruits (19 to be exact) in the purist form, natural and organic that Dr. Oz was talking about on the Oprah show….
