My
Own True Story - Finally, Help for Fibromyalgia
Aloha,
My name is Sheila and I am a Fibromyalgia survivor! I hope, by telling
you my story, that I will give you encouragement to not just continue
but to get back your energy, your peace of mind, and a life without
pain!
Last
year at this time I was bed ridden and when I did walk I could only
do so by using a cane. I was looking at wheel chairs and those Rascal
scooters you see on TV. It wasn't a matter of "if" but "will the insurance
pay for it?"
After
seeing many many specialty doctors and even being told I had bone cancer,
there was just one more test before chemo and radiation. Oh, yes I had
very long hair and cut it all off because I did not want it to fall
out on my pillow. Those of you who have Fibromyalgia know that the pain
is so terrible and some doctors think it's all in your head. Well I
was lucky that I had/have great doctors! Yet, no matter how many or
what they gave me for pain, nothing worked. Not even morphine touches
the pain!!
So
back to the test. A piece of my rib from the back upper spine needed
to be removed. X-rays showed "Hot Spots" on certain ribs but to just
go in surgically might end up in removing the wrong rib. So they need
to "flag" my rib. I had no idea just how this would happen but as they
told me that they needed to put a sharp needle, (can't even fathom what
a dull needle would have been like), with a dye on it so that when the
surgeon entered the area it would be easy to see. I was put face down
on an X-ray table and this needle that felt like it was three feet long
was pushed into my rib, slowly and carefully so as not to puncture the
lung. Now you must know that I had no medication and I cried so hard
I thought I would be sick. If I had been face up I think I would have
attacked the doctor. Now I was ready for an X-ray to make sure the needle
was in the correct area. Lucky for me, it was. So off to the surgery
room. I have to tell you that on the way to my surgery I prayed that
God would take me as I did not want to live anymore.
I
was not happy when I woke up hours later. I did not want to live like
this anymore. The pain was too great what with the Fibromyalgia and
now I thought that I was looking at bone cancer. Taking my own life
was/is against all that I believe in, but life like this I did not want.
I
prayed even harder to God to please take me or if it wasn't my time
to please give me the strength to go on and not be a burden to my family.
Two
weeks later the bone test came back negative!!!!!! However, someone
said to me, "It would have been better for you to have Cancer as it
is treatable but there really is nothing that can help your Fibromyalgia".
Gee, this was not something I wanted to hear.
Then
I get some encouragement from someone who was already in a wheel chair
with Fibromyalgia who had tried "something new". Like everyone else
I thought, yeah, okay, sure -- what is it? Then I heard this lady was
no longer using her wheelchair.
I
could hardly wait for the product to get to my home. It came and I took
it.
My husband also takes this and has the early stages of FMS and he too
is out of pain and able to do things with energy he's not known for
years. He thinks that there must be something major lacking in our systems
that it puts back in almost instantly. Please e-mail me so I can help
you feel human again and you too can give the Gift of Encouragement
to others like us.
Now
that I have given you the Gift of Encouragement for Fibromyalgia let
me tell you what else this has and is doing for me.
Those
of us with FMS gain weight because we are in so much pain and become
bedridden. I told you how it has taken away my pain and given me lots
of energy. I also have lost 18 pounds and now power walk with my husband
every other day! Not too bad for someone who was bedridden and only
able to walk with a cane a few months ago!!!
Please do e-mail me so I can help you to get healthy
and enjoy the life God meant for you to have.
Aloha
and Good Health,
Sheila
