Hi Donna,
I wanted to share my story with you all. Thanks for this opportunity.
Almost 10 years ago, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia; 6 years ago came the osteo-arthritis diagnosis and 6 months ago came the rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis.
I was tired all the time and my personal physician sent me to a rheumatologist for treatment as this was beyond him. On a scale of 1 to 10, my pain level was at a 50!! It was relieved during my pregnancy but when my son was born, almost 9 years ago, there were severe complications of delivery and everything returned with a vengeance!!
I ended up on a “cocktail” of 3 medications (which later turned into 6) and over the past 8 years have had to have over 700 cortisone injections to treat the arthritis and keep my shoulders, wrists and fingers mobile.
Then I found Herbalife. I started on the products in mid-May – followed the Shapeworks 1-2-3 like a drill sergeant; took my Total Control, my Herbalifeline, and my TJ Yellow (in Canada)– which is a chromium supplement.
I was at the rheumatologist at least on a bi-weekly basis and often weekly. I also received trigger point injections – usually around 40 per visit which was to target the deterioration of my muscles.
I went in mid-May before, I started the products and went - FOR THE FIRST TIME ON JULY 6TH – OVER 6 WEEKS BETWEEN AND ONLY HAD TO HAVE 3 (NOT 7) CORTISONE SHOTS!!! AND LESS THAN A DOZEN TRIGGER POINTS!!!
My pain level one a scale of 1 to 10 now sits at a manageable 4 to 5. I’m just starting to take the Flex Support and am hopeful that there will be even more relief.
I’m grateful to have found Herbalife – not just as a business – but as an alternative to all the prescription meds that I had to take: I’m down to 1 instead of 6, have energy, am not so grumpy and can actually say “GOOD”, sometimes “GREAT” when people say – “How are you?”
The arthritis is still obvious in my finger joints – they are disfigured – 2 badly and I am hopeful that the rest will not get there on this regiment.
Thanks for letting me share my story.
