For 54 years my health has gotten progressively worse. As a young girl I was even in a car accident because I blacked out behind the wheel of a car going 60 mph. I hadn't done anything wrong, I just had extremely low blood sugar. When you have that problem you have problems thinking clearly and you are often weak. I figured that was just the way I was and lived my life going through the motions every single day.....
I married my high school sweetheart, Paul, shortly after graduation and we wanted to start a family right away. It took over three and a half years of frustration and tears before I conceived our first baby. None of my friends had this problem. What was wrong with me?
I've had a very good life and been blessed with not only a wonderful husband but two great children. They found love and our daughter has given us four vivacious sprites for this excited grandma to chase around. Oh, what fun, but oh, how tired I became. I had been waiting years to be a grandma and now it took every bit of energy that I had to do the simplest of things with them. I tried hard because I wanted it soooo much, but it was killing me. You see I am going through menopause now too and my hormones were RAGING. I was having 6-7 hot flashes a night and soaking the sheets. You roll over to get dry and then you freeze to death so I wasn't getting any sleep at night. I was exhausted and that is how I would start my day.
My feet would hit the floor and the pain would shoot up through my body like the worst tooth ache you could ever imagine. My feet, hips, hands and neck were feeling the pain of arthritis and it even was beginning to freeze joints in my hands. It hurt to hold hands with my honey, hurt to quilt. Sometimes I even felt like it hurt to breathe because a deep breath would seize up my back. I was a mess.
I hurt, I felt lousy and I was getting fat! I hate being fat. I have always had to watch every single bite that I put in my mouth. Other people would eat the same things I did, in the same amounts and I would be the one to keep getting heavier and heavier. My husband was always a good sport about it, but I knew it bothered him, so naturally, it bothered me.
When you physically hurt, you emotionally hurt, and I was heading down a path that I didn't want to be on. My doctor put me on antidepressants and he kept giving me more and more. Nothing was helping. Nothing. I just wanted to give up and I didn't care any more.....
My poor, Paul. Thirty-five years of marriage and he didn't know what to do to help me. Every marriage has it's ups and downs but this was something he couldn't control and he so wanted to find a way to bring me back....and then he found Reliv.
I had never heard of the stuff and, quite frankly, I didn't care. Because I love him so much I was willing to hear out the ladies that came over to my house that day. I listened to them and because I am an intelligent person with a medical background, what they told me made sense, but it just sounded too good to be true. Hey, my dad always told me, "If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is!", but my dad was wrong.
Two shakes a day, tailored to fit my needs, gave me all of the nutrients that my body had been lacking. LACKING FOR YEARS! Within days my hormones started to stabilize and my hotflashes subsided. Within a week they were gone and I haven't had one since. My blood sugar is in balance now, so between those two things I was starting to get some sleep. You know, you just don't realize how important sleep is to your overall health until you aren't getting enough of it. The changes kept coming and it's been like a wonderful avalanche!!!!! After two months my joints started to move without pain and I no longer have any that are frozen. It feels glorious! You know, I never would have expected it, but I started losing weight too. For me, that is huge! I have tried every stinking diet under the sun, lost and gained back ...well, I don't even want to try to add it up! It never STAYED off.
My friend said to me, "You've got to be kidding?!?" when I told her how easy getting back my health had been. All of these years of one thing compounding another and, oh, how I wish someone had guided me a long time ago. I am finding such delight in helping other people relieve their aches and pains, getting their energy back and shedding those god forsaken pounds. I love seeing the happiness when someone tells me that their diabetic numbers are falling into line, or their cholesterol and blood pressure are normal again. My body feels good now but so does my spirit!
