Taking Control of My Health

I have been taking a new product supplement for almost a month now and I’m very surprised to say I am beginning to see improvements in my every day health!

When I was first introduced to the product by a friend I was extremely skeptical, as I have been with everything regarding treatment since my diagnosis. It’s hard for me to think there is anything that will help with a chronic illness (or 5), and also help prevent my body from further destroying itself in the future. I am still early in the process of the regime, however I am very pleased with it.

The supplements I am currently taking are called Protandim, PhysIQ (a probiotics), Omega+, and Axio. These products are sold online through a distributor on their website. As stated previously, I was skeptical at first but decided to invest in my health because it was worth it if I saw results at any level. My perceptions have changed, although I still am waiting for maximum results which could take another 2-3 months due to how sick I have been for so long, I am happy to say I have seen drastic results the first month of use! This is such a relief for me and make me want to continue use to see what further improvements I continue to have.

The benefits I have seen in the first month of use are:

  • Reduced inflammation
  • Reduced daily pain and achiness
  • Reduced joint pain and stiffness, especially in the mornings. I am able to get out of bed most days without crying in pain and forcing my body to move
  • Increased energy
  • Better quality sleep
  • The ability to beginning running regularly again without forcing myself into a lupus flare
  • Decreased headaches
  • Improved memory clarity, reduced brain fog
  • Less “night crawling”, a side effect of chronic Lyme disease

The symptoms listed above have improved approximately 25% over the past month. While I have seen improvements, I still occasionally have some difficult days due to my illnesses, however it is to be expected due to the damage that has been done to my body over the past decade due to chronic illness. However now on those difficult days I am able to function whereas before I could not have.

These supplements center around improving your body so it can rebuild your fighting power and reduce oxidative stress in your body, which is ultimately the cause of many diseases and illnesses. This is the very brief version, however I will write more on the ingredients and how the process works in tomorrow’s blog. 🙂

Keep fighting!!

Another tough day today, couldn’t sleep last night due to constant pain and muscle twitching making it difficult to stay still long enough to try and get comfortable with the pain. Another unpleasant aspect of Lyme is involuntary twitching of the muscles. Mine seems to occur more when my body is in “flare” and the Lupus and Lyme are active in my body. After I went through push therapy last year my twitching had almost completely subsided, however it has been increasing more and more with each week. 

Due to exhaustion and pain I was unable to work today. I’ve been pretty lightheaded since yesterday and get dizzy if I’m standing or sitting upright for too long. I’ve also been alternating between freezing and burning up/sweating. 

My sweet kitty Dax knew I wasn’t feeling well (she always does) and has stayed by my side all day. She’s been giving me kisses often which at least make me smile. 😊

  
I’m hoping tomorrow will be better. I know I’m in need of another IV to help battle the war inside my body and hopefully I can manage to get one sometime within the next week or two.
