Today is a day we internationally recognize World Autoimmune/Autoinflammatory, Arthritis Day.
I know my dear. I empathize so deeply with your pain, the helplessness, the agony. BUT....
This day I celebrate. Two words...Crohn's Disease.
I was diagnosed is 2009 when I went to the emergency room for what I thought was appendicitis. I cried so hard when they gave me my test results. "What does this mean?" "What's going to happen to me?" "Will I hurt like this forever?"
I was bombarded with pamphlets and beginner information and specialists and appointments. Over the next several years it not only took over inside, but it also took over my capability to genuinely function. Mental and physical exhaustion, poor posture to guard the belly pain which only led to a sn*******ng effect of more and more problems.
Until 4 years ago I struggled everyday. Every day was a doomed lottery; either I could autopilot my way through the day or I couldn't get out of bed. Both make a person feel extremely helpless.
March 2017 I discovered Young Living. Shortly thereafter I began to take classes to help me understand how these little bottles could help me. After a year of trying and learning about more alternative and holistic options, I found what worked for me.
In 2018 I decided I wanted to help others with the knowledge I had and Restored Vitality came to be. I often hear people say, "this way of living is expensive." That may be, however, Dis-Ease is much more expensive.
It has been 3 years since I have had an acute flare.
3 YEARS! It was worth every penny, every moment of education, and every change I made. Lastly I am so Grateful to have built relationships with people like me.
