First I want to say that I
hesitated to post something so personal on FB, but I feel compelled to share my
story in the hopes that it will help other people who are suffering like I was…even
if I can help just one person, it will be worth it!
The pictures below are
before and afters - the first one is what I looked like just 17 days ago. The
second one was taken today. I know it's hard to believe but it's true! Since
September, I have been suffering for the past 9 months with Morgellon's
Disease, a systemic, debilitating, confusing and extremely painful illness, the
existence of which most doctors do not acknowledge. The symptoms wreak absolute
havoc on your life.
As I quickly learned,
Morgellon’s Disease is a very controversial and polarizing subject, which makes
the whole thing very complicated – I still don’t understand it completely. But
unfortunately for those of us who have lived or are living with this awful
disease, Morgellons is very, very real. Just Google it and you will find an
unbelievable amount of misinformation on the Internet – and because the
information and studies come from doctors, people tend to believe it and there
is nothing that will convince them otherwise.
I was told by doctor after
doctor that I was either suffering from mental illness or I was a drug addict -
either way the lesions all over my body were self-inflicted. It was horrific, a
living hell that I would not wish upon my worst enemy.
Morgellons is thought to
be associated with Lyme Disease and I had been to see a Lyme-literate doctor
last October. He prescribed antibiotics, an anti-parasitic and an anti-fungal
medication but after one round I had to discontinue them because it just became
too costly. It was very expensive and it was not covered by insurance – all out
of pocket. We literally spent hundreds of dollars, maybe even thousands of
dollars trying to figure out why I was so sick. The Lyme doctor said that it
was necessary to stay on those meds for at least a year to see any improvement
- and since taking them I was just getting worse.
On Friday, May 22nd I
pretty much hit rock bottom – I felt hopeless and alone, suffering a misery
that words cannot describe. I could barely get out of bed and I was in constant
agony. My quality of life was non-existent. I literally thought I was dying. My
husband and my children were suffering greatly as they watched me,day after
day, week after week, month after month as I got sicker and sicker. I know that
my husband felt so helpless and overwhelmed- he was doing his job and mine and
with three kids it was not easy. I worried constantly about the lasting effect
this would have on my kids and there seemed to be no end in sight.
Ironically, on that same
day, a device arrived in the mail, sent to me from my father and my aunt. It
was called a “Rife Digital Professional”, a device that uses radio frequencies
to kill pathogens. My dad had read about it online and it had apparently helped
other people recover from Morgellons and many other illnesses. It was a long
shot but at that point I had nothing to lose. It did not involve drugs and was
non-invasive so I started using it that day.
I cannot even believe I am
saying this, but it only has been 2 weeks and I am almost 100% cured. As you
can see in the picture, the lesions on my face have all healed up and
disappeared. The brain fog, extreme fatigue, pain – all of it is gone! It feels
like a miracle has occurred in my life and I just had to share it! I also want
to add that this is only MY experience – I have no medical background and I do
not represent the company in any way. I have no idea if it would have the same
effect on others with this disease but for me, it is nothing short of
miraculous! Like I said before, if sharing my story helps just one person I
will be so happy!!
I would also like to add,
I know there is a whole lot of controversary around some of the things I have
written about in this post. I would just ask that if you feel compelled to
write anything negative, please refrain. My family and I are celebrating the
regaining of my health and our lives. Negativity or judgment of any kind would
not be appreciated.
I am so thankful to my dad and to my aunt for believing me and for
saving my life! who I wish everyone out there love, happiness and peace…and of
course health. I will never again take my health for granted, that is for sure.
