Hi ladies,Sorry it's been awhile. I've been trying to keep udated on all the new messages as much as possible but I barely have time to respond. Well, the baby is asleep and my husband had to work a Saturday so here I am. For those of you who don't know me, I'm 5 months post-explant....I wanted to wait a few weeks to make sure it wasn't a fluke to say that I am feeling better!!! It started a few weeks ago. It was strange. I woke up on a Saturday expecting the usual feeling of pain, can't breath, depression. Well, I went about my day doing laundry, getting things ready for the next week. I do this every Sat. and Sun. morning because I usually only have about 1-2 hours of energy and I have to use it wisely. Well, I noticed I had a little more and while I had pain...it wasn't as bad. Also, I felt this weird feeling of being relaxed..like the world wasn't going to end if I didn't get everything done. This is how I've been for years

because of all the extra cortisol making me nuts. I didn't want to get excited so I just kinda took it day by day becuase I've had this happen before (when I had implants). So a week went by and I noticed my pain was still going, I could breath better, I could think better, I had more energy, my eyes felt better (I didn't think they could get any better...it's been years so I didn't remember what it was like to actually see right w/o pain etc.).So here I am...3 weeks after my sudden breakthrough and I'm still preogressing...slowly...but I feel it and each week gets better. I have this huge feeling of ....(ok, well...I'm still searching for words) it's like all that crazy scary fear is leaving..like my body and mind are allowing me to relax now because I'm finally getting better. I haven't slept this hard and good in years. I still have a ways to go but I actually woke up today and wanted to go outside and walk (I wanted to...I

didn't force myself). When I got back...I was still ok...no extra pain from the exertion..wow!!For you ladies who are just in the beginning I want you to know how bad I was...I coudn't breath (I used a breathing machine every morning to make it through the day and I still used my inhalers, I had intense pain (like pinched nerves from my hips up), I couldn't think, my eyes burned, I had migraines every other day, my ears were plugged, I had panic attacks all the time..they didn't stop. I always felt like if I didn't move, I would die or something. I'm sure I'm leaving something out. What did I do....?? Well, I didn't start feeling any improvments until I changed my diet (gluten and dairy free), starting eating a ton of vegetables, and started to use all kinds of supplements/herbs. However, after all of that, I think the detoxing helped me the most. I started doing coffee enemas(I did five in one week...I don't suggest that I was very

dehydrated..I do one a week now) (I never thought in my life I would put coffee up there but I was desperate and after reading about them, I wish I started sooner), I drank alkaline water (one glass before every meal..that's what my chiro told me), started doing magnetic clay baths (once a week, this can easily b purchased online), I took epson salt baths twice a week, and finally I did an ionic foot bath about once a week too. So to everyone on here....thank you soo much for all your encouragement when I absolutely thought I couldn't go on, words of advice and simply just being here to chat. You don't know how much this site means to me..it saved my life!! I do still have a ways to go and I am expecting some bad days too..it's only been 3 weeks but I haven't felt this good in years (my def. of good has def. changed). I don't know what is working but I will cont. Feeling good is like my "crack" now and I want more!!Hang in there

everyone!! Lots of Hugs!!
