My name is Marj Kruger and this is my Le-Vel Thrive experience; I was in a car accident in 1985 and broke my shoulder and really did muscle damage in my neck, then is 2004 I took a bad fall and damaged my lower back. I live on a farm where I do physical activity daily. Between my 2 accidents i always had some type of pain on a scale of 1-10 some days a 2-3 and others a 7-10 depending on what i had been doing. I have been a chiropractor regular all this time. In the fall of 2013 I took a spill off my horse I was actually hung up on her, all my weight was supported by my elbow hooked around my saddle horn. I was pretty sore for a couple weeks, but then seemed to quite down. In Feb. of 2014 i started riding again, after my second rode I had excruciating pain in my back rib cage area,that wrapped around under my armpit. This was something different from what I have always had and learned to live with, This pain would take my breath away, and I would see black rainy dots in my vision. At any twist of my torso or any reaching, well let me tell you until you cant do that you do not realize you do that movement 80 - 100 % of your daily life. SO off I go to the chiropractor once again, I do Acupuncture 4 times and get 4-5 adjustments... ( Nothing.... and I usually respond really well to acupuncture) so off I go to my Medical Doctor, she checked my lungs and did x-rays, thinking I had cracked or broken ribs, everything looked very good. she said I likely tore and sprained ligaments and muscle from my horse accident in 2013. SO then I hear of another chiropractor that does alot of massaging along with the adjustments. I had 5 treatments along with massage and ultra sound. Still no relief ( I am functioning at 20-25%) along with Advil, Tylenol and icing every 2 hours. We had a big horse show coming up in a week, it was our Kick Off show for 2014 $10,000.00 Added money and I darn sure wanted to be there, I had pretty much canceled my plans to go because all the aggressive measured I tried to make the pain go away did not work. So I open up F/B on a Sunday morning and see a friend just screaming from the roof tops about her 3rd. day Thrive experience. That gave me the push to contact another friend Marylynn who had been telling me about Thrive for a couple months. I call Marylynn and ask her if she had some for me to try, we met up that same day and I started my Thrive on Monday morning, by that afternoon the sharpness pain was down to a dull pain the next day was even better. And by that Thursday ( 4 th day of my Thrive) I went grocery shopping for food to take to the horse show for the weekend, ( got a gallon of Orange Juice to take to mix with my shake, when I got home my husband was coming out to get the groceries because he knew I couldnt unload them... I told him to stay in the house, I GOT THIS... I even carried my gallon of Orange Juice up over my head to show him how great & Sassy I was feeling!!! Friday comes and I am in that truck with my horse on the trailer, I rode Friday night, all day Saturday and all day Sunday. I felt great,,,, 10 foot tall and bullet proof to be honest with you. Between my rides and call backs for the finals, I rode 50 -53 times. This is Ranch Sorting, it is physical, If youre not sore after a day of riding in this event, your werent trying hard enough. ( hehehe) I ended up winning several checks, being in the top 10 money earners for the weekend and won enough to almost pay for a years supply of THRIVE!!!!!! AND Monday morning I popped out of bed and could have done it all over again!! I had ZERO pain... I am a Promoter now and hit my VIP 800 and VIP 1600 and now am closing in on my Mini Ipad. My husband started on the Thrive about 10 days after me, he said he never seen me move better, and he loved the Peppy, Positive attitude I had. We are both hard working people on our farm.Being down from pain is not much of an option for either one of us. He has more energy, and his lower back pain from all the years of cleaning stalls, farm life and baling 1000s of bales of hay & straw is down to a minimal or even gone most days. He does not get sore on those long days in the saddle. I LOVE this product!! When we pack up for a horse show, THRIVE is the first thing in the suitcase. This is my story, If I can help someone else fighting daily pain with getting them set up on the LeVel Thrive experience, Please let me know.
