The power of information.
Jan 15th, 2013 at 7:19pm
 
Guys, where do I start?

My name is Leo, I am 30, and I live in São Paulo, Brazil.

It was the beginning of last December, I got hit for the first time in my life. Unfortunately it coincided with a lunch/meeting with friends, and alcohol was involved. So I lost my virginity to a Kip 10, taken to the ER by my wife, telling her strangely in the mix of all that, how much I loved her, 'cause I really believed I was having a stroke or something else that could end that conversation very abruptly. It was the beginning of a long December.

You know how the tail goes from there: PCPs, I.V morphine, neurologists, imaging, and... Nothing. Blank faces. Two weeks visiting different hospitals and 3 neurologists later, I finally cracked. I started searching my symptoms and quickly found you guys. By the time I had finished reading the introduction page, I was self diagnosed.

It took me 3 weeks to find out what I was going through, thanks to you and this website. Yesterday I went back to my last neurologist and discussed with her the diagnosis. She looked to me a little bit like this  Shocked after what I said, and had to agree it was just not a migraine. I then looked like this  Angry .

Long story short, I already had an O2 tank by my bed when she recommended it. I also started last week on Batch's D3 anti-inflamatory regimen.

I am glad (and with eyes full of tears) to say I am PAIN FREE for five days now. I hope you guys can understand the difference you can make in peoples lives and don't ever take this for granted. I'd just like to say, on behalf of me and my family, thank you for giving me my life back.

I believe everything happens for a reason. And it sure made me look with different eyes to every morning I now wake up pain free and full of energy.

Hope to make good friends here, and believe me, I fell like I know you guys already.

Not ready for the beer test just yet...  Grin

Thanks once again.

Leo

Another Batch disciple, I love it!!! Grin 3 years pain free for me, I'm never going off the D-3 regimen. Couldn't be happier you're pain free, hoping it stays that way.

It looks like you're off to a good start now you've a diagnosis with oxygen to kill any CHs you get plus good results on the Batch vitamin D3 regime. I just wish more people could get on top of their CHs that quick!

Keep reading and you'll learn more and more!

We do understand, and mostly because like you we have found this site to be a life saver. That's why we spend the time we do reading others tales of pain and sorrow, because that is our story as well. Like you, I cried reading the reports of those who did and did not find relief. Stick with us, even while pain free, since that is the kind of encouragement we most need to hear. blessings. lance
