Almost two years ago, in September 2012 I was diagnosed as a diabetic. That was scary. Especially when you read about all of the side effects of diabetes.Immediately I started eating better, walking, and going to a gym. I cut out all sugar. I was getting better and fighting it. Then the unthinkable happened. In October 2012 I herniated three disks in my lower back. And I became crippled by pain. I was on doctor ordered bed rest for a month. Pain killers were a daily thing. I was literally crippled. I had to use a cane, and quite honestly should have had a walker, but my pride won the fight on that one. I could not lift anything, stand or walk for too long, or sit for too long. The pain was so horrible that even waistbands on pants would induce pain. I wore leggings, baggy yoga pants, and t-shirts. That was the only thing that I could wear that would not touch my back and add any pressure to it. I used the electric carts at all of the stores because, if I was lucky, I had enough in me to walk from the car to the store entrance. I slept in my recliner many nights, because of the pain. I quit going anywhere. And this went on for months. When I started travelling for work last year, I made sure that I had the baggiest clothes I could find that were acceptable business clothes. I never traveled without my pain killers. And I never let on to my co-workers that I had a problem with walking. You would always find me at the back of my group, several feet behind. Sorry, Im slow. And it was because I had to walk through the pain. I earned the nickname Princess. I moved at my own pace and would never lift a finger to carry anything. They thought it was because I felt like I didnt have to. But really it was because I couldnt. A few months later I learned about something called Plexus. Sounded interesting. Weight loss stuff. Been there, done that. But they had other stuff too. This nerve health thing. And vitamins. Maybe it would be worth looking into. I mean why not? I already was taking 17 different vitamins and supplements to help stave off the high blood sugar and joint and back pains, and trying to stay somewhat healthy on a traveler’s diet. But I pushed it off and put it out of my mind. Christmas and New Year’s came and went, and then it was suddenly 2014. I was doing better, but wasn’t at my best. I would have maybe 30-45 minutes in me of walking or standing. I still couldnt wear denim or anything that would touch my back. I couldnt lift anything, and bending was sheer hell. And then I remembered that Plexus stuff again. I talked with my husband about it and figured why not? What did I have to lose? If I lost weight or something, that would be good, right? So I started taking it. And I felt better. Sure the not hungry thing was great, but I really felt better. And then I realized I was moving more. I could stand and walk longer. And I could bend over. And I could lift things. And I didnt hurt. And for the first time in over a year, I left my pain killers at home when I traveled. I helped my husband outside with yard work. I moved and lifted boxes. I WORE DENIM. And I wore heels. And the thing is, I never changed my lifestyle. Its hard when you travel five days a week. Its even harder to diet and exercise. And I was eating out all the time. But the one thing I did do differently was throw out all of those vitamins and supplements and replace them with Plexus. Plexus. The one thing I did differently. Taking Plexus has given me the ability to have my life back. As of today I AM NO LONGER A DIABETIC. Plexus helped get me over the blood sugar hump. My glucose levels came back from the doctor last month as excellent. And I can walk. I CAN WALK. I know that there is no such thing as a cure all. I am fully realistic about that. But there are things that can help heal you and make you healthier. Plexus is what did it for me.
