tentative - but hopeful - from Dizzy Diva (Nan)
« on: August 15, 2006, 09:58:05 am »
Hi, all-
I hesitant in sharing this, but I'm getting really aggressive reflexology treatment from a really special and experienced guy in Blaine, WA.  I've been watching some of his videos and he has helped people with EVERYTHING from fibermyalgia, Meniere's disease, cancer, arthritis, MIGRAINE....  Nothing like watching a video with someone respected locally cry because he finally had relief from pain he'd had for 35 years, many surgeries, and doctors never really knowing what was wrong with him.  Or a woman who was cured of cancer.

This is not a hoax.  I swear my dizziness is getting better by tiny bits.  I have more energy, more joy, more hope....

I will keep you posted, but if these treatments work, I'm going to tell the world about this man.  He had 5 people with Meniere's disease drive from Idaho, stay for 2 weeks, and be cured.  I wish I had known about him pre-surgery.  Oh, well, not going to "coulda shoulda woulda."

Till the next update!

Hi

  'Hope' is a marvelous thing, yes? Best wishes here, but always be realistic. You'll suffer less if reflexology fails.
  Best wishes always, Nan!

Thanks, everybody!  Russ, too.  Believe me, I've stopped expecting a miracle, but teeny tiny changes in dizziness are BIG in my world!  I've also joined a special program, too special to talk about here, but my energy is being worked on big time.

I love all you guys, thanks for being there for me.  Smoochies right back atcha, Capn.

Raydean, sweetie, can't wait to see you and Chet and the gang!

If I'm REALLY lucky, I get to see our dearest Kathleen on Friday!!!!  Keep fingers crossed she's up to our visit.
We are so lucky to have each other--meaning everyone on this Forum.

That's my trusty girly Kathleen and Capn Deb...you have that right.  D***, I just can't give up.

You oughta see my feet and hands--I'm going to be accused of some nasty stuff, but none of that.

I'm eating Indian food and drinking chai.  Hmmm, may have to start studying Hindi.....
