The Answer

These past 8 years of my life I have felt like I’m suffocating. It feels like my body is lost at sea, with every wave my lungs slowly gaining more water, my body getting heavy by each day. Living with chronic pain is debilitating sucking the life right out of me. In the middle of a bad flare up I am stuck mentally and physically. Wishing that I could just “get better” or to “push past the pain.” Year after year with no answer. Doctor after doctor, pill after pill, test after test. At what point do you just give up? You don’t. You keep fighting till you find answers.

I once read an instagram post “Your body is trying to tell you something, listen to it. It’s not trying to fight against you, but for you.” Because of living with chronic inflammation I got into this mindset that my body is fighting against me. This body that God has giving me is failing in every area. As a Mama I want nothing more than to provide the very best for my daughter. Yet when a bad day hits me hard I can’t do anything but blame myself. Mentally I snap way to easily, sometimes physically I can’t even stand without excruciating pain shooting through my body. How do you even take care of another little soul when you can’t even take care of your own?

For years we thought all my inflammation was boiled down to certain foods. After having Serena I eliminated dairy, gluten, any processed foods. It helped calm the havoc in my body but still wasn’t making it go away completely. After a year I started removing any sugars as well (natural and unnatural) changed my skin care, my lotions, my deodorant, my drinks, everything. Again, it helped calm it down for me to have a couple days of sanity. But as soon as it went away something would happen and inflammation spiked. On top of this tormenting pain my anxiety has been debilitating.

I stumbled upon an awesome lady named Tavia who is a certified health, life and wellness coach. Her standpoint is to look at peoples overall health from a holistic and natural approach. The first thing she wanted me to get tested for was Lymes disease. She has put her Lymes disease in remission and is on a mission to help others find the real reason for their pain. The only time I have ever heard of it is through Avril Lavignes testimony. I thought to myself no way in heck do I have that! I’ve never been bitten by a tick. With less money in my pocket and a little blood later, I finally got my results.

Nine years of feeling lost at sea I finally have my answers. After countless nights of feeling like I’m mentally going insane. Truly questioning my own sanity, thinking that I’m just making this all up. I have been battling Lymes Disease. It spreads through any kind of bug bite. Typically people won’t even have a bulls eye rash when they get bitten. Going untreated for years can cause people arthritis and nervous system problems. I also have a gene mutation called MTHFR which doesn’t help my situation. Because of that gene not only is my body not able to properly detox but it can only soak up about 20% of the nutrients I need. The welts that I battle is my body trying to detox.

The next step is to see a specialist in Seattle that can help holistically heal my body from the inside out. With much fear of the unknown and still trying to process this, I would love for you to be a part of my ride. I step out of my comfort zone writing my story. Hoping that it can help someone understand that they can heal. That living with chronic pain is not something that we were created to do.

With much love, Vanessa
