Fibromyalgia Stories
I've been very active most of my life; hiking,
exercise and fitness, on the go all the time, and even completed two New
York City Marathons at the ages of 34 (1991) and 35 (1992).
In March 2005 at the age of 48, I had my first attack of pain and
followed by unbelievable fatigue at times and my restlessness trying to
sleep at night caused headaches each day. This continued for two years
with multiple visits to several different physicians and specialist with
numerous tests. Finally in January 2007, my internal medicine physician
diagnosed me with Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Knowing my
determination and desire to feel better and get back to my once active
lifestyle, he suggested that I go in search of alternative therapy
and/or nutritional products. He put me on medication to help me sleep at
night and told me to read more about the diseases and search for
something natural.
A good friend from Michigan called in February 2007 and suggested that I
take a product called Goji Juice. I was skeptical at first, but at this
point and time in my life, I felt like I would try anything to just feel
a little better. After one week on the Goji Juice I started to feel more
energy. The body pains and aches started to lessen. For the first time
in over 8 months I headed back to the fitness center and completed a
light workout. Today, seven weeks later after starting the Goji Juice,
my workouts are back to normal like they were before March 2005. I have
more energy than I remember before these illnesses started. I'm sleeping
great at night and no more headaches during the day. The Goji Juice has
given me my life back. I truly do have a healthy Free Life now thanks to
the Goji Juice!
Drew, Virginia
Words can not express the love I have for Anne
Marie the person that introduced me to the fantastic "Goji Juice".
I was suffering from Fibromyalgia, Gout and IBS
(which comes along with Fibromyalgia.) Being a person that had always
had great health and lots of energy this was devastating to me, let
alone the pain that came along with the Fibromyalgia and the Gout. Can
you imagine getting up every morning and
literally aching down to the bone, as if
you have the flu all the time, no energy, and having one kidney
infection right after another, so much pain in your feet from the Gout
it was hard to walk or even let a sheet touch your feet. I work a full
time job for a very large Toyota dealership and I have owned a Jewelry
Replacement Service for 17 years, I don't have time for pain or no
energy. But I am not a complainer so no one knew of my pain, I kept it
to myself. Another problem, I am allergic to 12 prescriptions drugs, my
body just can not handle chemicals in any form, so going to a medical
doctor is not practical for me, because that always leads to more
chemicals. I have to seek alternative solutions and all natural
products.
I went to Anne Marie which is a Holistic
Practitioner trying to get some relief from these disorders. Wow, did
that visit to her ever change my health and my life. She got me started
on the "Goji juice" and after only two days I was sleeping very soundly
at night which had been a problem before due to the Fibromyalgia, within
a few days
I noticed my energy level had increased and the
pain was slowly diminishing. Not to mention what it has done for my
hair, it is so healthy now, grows really fast, and some of those facial
lines have smoothed out (what woman doesn't love that). Since that time
it has all been up hill thanks to "Goji Juice".
So, for you out there that are suffering from
these disorders and any others, just remember you did not acquire these
disorders overnight so don't expect a miracle from just one bottle of
this marvelous "Goji Juice" give it a fair chance let it get into your
system, and the rest can be all up hill for you too. After all you can
drink it for 90 days with a money back guarantee.
Do you realize that not a day goes by that you do not meet someone with
a health problem? Now, there is "Goji Juice" to help people take charge
of their lives to help them live a better quality of life. Who would
have thought this "little red berry" could do so much. I look forward to
a long life of better health, and sharing the remarkable "Goji juice"
with everyone I meet, after all this is a business of "people helping
people" and there is no better gift you can give than the "gift of
health." You don't have to take my word for it put "Goji Juice" into
your life so you can see the changes for yourself, then you too can
share your story with people to offer them a better quality of life from
this "little red berry". Got Goji?
Pat L. (Goji Gal) Greensboro, NC
My husband convinced me to try Goji Juice for
help with fibromyalgia issues. Having previously tried other options, I
had no expectations. As I drank 2 oz. in the morning
and 2 oz. in evening, I
gradually experienced improvements.
However, about mid-way into my second month
dramatic benefits became consistent. I was able to stop taking 3 meds
(for sleep, muscle tension and regularity) that I had been on for 8
years. Goji juice provides me
with deep sleep, stamina, energy, less neuropathy due
to increased circulation in my legs, elimination of night sweats,
regularity and less pain. My memory has improved and I’ve added two more
hours to my day. When previously on a prescription for sleep help, I
awakened late and
groggy.
I understand that Goji Juice helps the body to
become alkaline vs. acidic which is very comforting. Apparently ill
health will not flourish if the body has a balanced pH.
I’ll take good health
any day!
I’m thankful that Goji juice has greatly
improved the quality of my life.
Susan, Tennessee
I am 25 years old and I was diagnosed with FM
during the latter part of my high school years. I went through a lot of
doctor visits because they didn’t know what was going on with me. I was
told there was no cure so I realized I would just have to learn to live
with it.
In January 2005, I was in a head-on collision
and from that time on, it really got bad. The 18-year-old girl who hit
me died on impact and I was left with traumatic injuries including PTSS,
chronic myofascial pain syndrome, and a bulging disk in my back between
my shoulder blades, degenerative disk disease, that caused a lot of
different problems. I could no longer do the things I loved to do. I
pretty much gave up and was on the verge of going on disability.
I’d been on so many different medications,
trying to find one that would work for me, and anti-depressants, pain
patches (opium patch) and they were going to have to increase the
dosages because my body was becoming immune to the medications. I’d
gotten sick from them. I didn’t want to take all the medications because
I was in a stupor; I felt like I was numb.
In May 2006, a friend told me about Goji juice
and I began drinking it. I started with 2 ounces in the morning and 2
ounces at night. Within 3 days, I was off all my medications and was
pain free.
Ever since then I haven’t taken any pain
medication. I can do all the stuff I love to do, hiking, bowling, and my
back doesn’t bother me. The PTSS is completely gone. I’ll always have
memories of that wreck, but it’s not like a nightmare. I’d gotten to the
point where I didn’t want to live anymore because I kept seeing the
wreck.
Goji juice has given me hope that I will
actually have a full life now. Two weeks after I started drinking goji
juice, I felt so good I decided to take a test and try to do a
cartwheel. I hadn’t done that in 15 years, since I was about 10 years
old. It worked and I didn’t have any repercussions …I felt great!
I’m so glad I found Goji juice. It has changed
me completely.
Amelia, Lexington NC
My name is Randy and I am 53 years old. I live
in northern Michigan. I have lived for the last 23 years as a human pin
cushion. All the doctors I have been to couldn't tell me just what I
had.
So after many years of being told that I had
CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) and Fibromyalgia I thought I was just
supposed to live with all the problems I had acquired. Let me tell you,
most people don't know what it's like to be deprived of sleep for days
on end. I can tell you from personal experience and a history of over 20
years of having to take a very expensive prescription to put me to sleep
every night so I could function in this real world of confusion, it's
the worst feeling you can have. I was paying $175 a month for pills to
make sure I got the required level of sleep to be able to function doing
my job. You see I am a Floor Covering Installer and I wheel a double
edge razor blade knife all day long. Not a good thing to do when your
half asleep from not getting the proper sleep the night before.
Anyway to make a long story short, my aunt
introduced me to the Goji juice and I can't thank her enough. Not only
have I STOPPED taking the expensive sleeping pill, I have
stopped all my arthritic meds also, and don't forget the cholesterol
pills I was also on. I am happy to say that as of this day, I am free of
any type of chemical pills from the doctors and I am sleeping like a
baby. It's been years since I have herd my own alarm clock in the
morning to wake me. I can't thank my aunt enough for bringing Goji juice
into my life. It has been a life changing experience.
Randy, Michigan
I have had Fibromyalgia for many years now. I
have tried so many natural and prescription remedies, but to no avail.
Along with Fibromyalgia, I have the following disorder: Irritable Bowel
Syndrome, Interstitial Cystitis, Ulcer, Acid Reflux, Hiatal Hernia,
Bi-lateral Sacral-Illiitis, Bi-lateral Trochanteric Bursitis, Osteo-Arthritis,
Depression, Narcilepsy, Sleep Apnea, and Reynauds Disease. It's a wonder
that I was even able to get out of bed, let alone the house!
Up until 6 1/2 months ago, I was using a cane and on 15 different
medications. The pain was very severe. In fact, 5 of those medications
were just for pain. My whole life was just surviving the pain! My doctor
had told my husband about 3 years ago that I was headed for a wheel
chair if I did not stop working a full time job. Needless to say, I did
quit working.
When I was first introduced to the Goji juice, I was skeptical. But as I
read the science behind Goji, I just had to try it. I am so thankful
that I did! I am a brand new person! Within a couple of days of drinking
the Goji Juice, I reduced my pain medication. Within about 2 weeks, I
retired that cane. Now, I am virtually pain free, off of the cane, full
of energy, and yes, I even sleep through the night! I can even take care
of my grandchildren by myself. What a Blessing! Goji had given me my
life back!
Leona, Clinton, Tennessee
I have been suffering with Leukemia and
fibromyalgia and severe arthritis for years. Recently I had the good
luck to try goji. Naturally I was skeptical, doesn't everyone
claim they have a miracle? Boy, was I in for a surprise! Not only are my
blood counts normal again, but my pain and stiffness are gone and I
sleep like a kitten.
Now I am trying to get everyone on the path to
good health. Even my 94 year old Mother is taking it for all her aches
and pains. I'm a believer!
Shaina, Georgia
I feel that I've had fibromyalgia for most of
my adult life. I’ve had all of the classic symptoms and then some,
including incessant pain and aching
throughout my entire body, physical exhaustion,
IBS, lack of balance, anxiety, attention deficit, recurring hives and
skin irritations, rhinitis and with all of that, who wouldn't be... you
guessed it..... depressed.
For many years I was tested and treated for several conditions and
saturated with prescription drugs, many of which caused other medical
conditions including erosive gastritis and hiatal hernia.
About 10 years ago, my current Doctor diagnosed
me with fibromyalgia and although I finally had a name for the condition
that most matched all my symptoms, I was still on many prescription
drugs. They did little to relieve the pain and I was always in a mental
fog.
Within days of drinking goji, I felt a
considerable improvement. And, the longer I drank it, the better I felt.
I've also started taking some other nutritional supplements along with
the goji.
I feel physically better now than I did 20
years ago and I'm excited to be able to look forward to life instead of
dreading the next miserable, pain-filled day.
I have gradually eliminated the use of all
prescription drugs.....today I am drug free! Thank you goji.
Bobbie B., Columbus, Ohio
I have had fibromyalgia since 1998 and I am on
social security disability. I have been on pain medication since I was
diagnosed and I had been praying that God would show me a way to get
some relief from it.
I got a bottle of goji about a month ago
and I could not believe it. I had so much energy that I cleaned my house
for 3 days and amazingly I was not in pain the day after. I felt an
overall satisfied feeling. I started to walk. In the past, I had only
been able to make it to the mail box which is only 2 doors down from
where I live and the first time I walked, I made it down the end of the
street. Now I am able to walk a mile and have the feeling like I could
do more if I wanted. My whole life has changed. I have lost 10 pounds.
The most wonderful thing that has happened to
me is that, after all this time, I am finally able to kneel down to say
my prayers at night instead of praying while lying down. God has so
blessed my life with goji! I just wanted to share my
testimony with you.
Thank you for you help,
Carolyn O
My young 8-year-old son and I began to drink
goji about a year ago. I suffer from fibromyalgia, arthritis
of the spine, chronic fatigue syndrome, IBS (irritable bowel syndrome),
and narcolepsy. Within only a few weeks of drinking goji, I haven’t
had any of the following symptoms: no sleeping seizures, no spasms or
tremors of the hands ,
legs or arms, and no IBS symptoms whatsoever.
I have been able to go back to work full time because
goji has eliminated my previous symptoms. I am off all
but one the prescription medications I used to have to take.
As for my son, that is an even more remarkable
story. We used to call him "Mr. Picky" about his food, not
realizing it was food allergies that made him not want to eat. Since
drinking goji, he seems to have lost his food sensitivities, the
dark circles under his eyes have disappeared, and he’s eating
everything at last. And he is in a serious growth spurt that has shot
him up about 3 inches over this past year of drinking goji. For my
son alone, I could not ask for a better solution to health .
Thank goodness for Goji!
Alex, Washington
I have fibromyalgia,
arthritis, psoriasis and a few other things. I was told in 1995 I was
going to be on disability. I got to the point where it was just
unbearable. I would wake up at night with tears in my eyes from pain. I
was on prescription drugs at that time. When I started drinking the goji I was calmer in four days and things were working better. I wasn’t
turning all night. I slept until 5:00 AM and it kept increasing every
day. My fibromyalgia has pretty much disappeared! Two weeks ago my husband
and I moved and we did it ourselves. Never, never could I have done that
before drinking the Goji juice. I feel super! I have a
wonderful, positive attitude. I’m never going to run out of Goji as long as I live!
Sherry, Canada
When I first got
fibromyalgia I was so sick I could hardly move from the couch to the
kitchen. I didn’t have the energy. My husband had to fix the
meals, vacuum and all the housework. The medication I was taking made it some better. When I heard
about goji and began drinking it, it took about 3 months before I
saw results, but I'm glad I stuck with it! Now I’m like a new person. In fact, now I’m able to baby-sit my
6-month-old granddaughter when my daughter has to work at the hospital.
Before the goji I could never have taken care of the baby. I’m
just getting stronger and stronger every day. I’m also off of my
medication. I’m like a new person!
Sharon, Iowa
I've been diagnosed
with fibromyalgia and have very weak muscles. In the past when I would
walk up the steps it was like I had spaghetti noodles under my legs and
I could hardly make it without being out of breath. I
realized after drinking goji for a couple of weeks I wasn’t so
out of breath and I could walk up those flights with no problem. Then I
ran out for about a week before I got my next order and those symptoms
came back. I started drinking the goji as soon as I got my order
and the symptoms went away! It’s
the Goji. The proof is in the pudding (or in the juice).
Betty, Virginia
After drinking goji for only a few days, my chronic fatigue and
fibromyalgia symptoms are almost completely gone. I have more energy and
sleep better. I took a trip, came back home, unloaded the car, cleaned
the house and still had energy to spare. I’ve tried other natural
remedies, but goji
"turned
the key" for me!
Victoria, Iowa
I was diagnosed with
fibromyalgia as a result of an auto accident over 15 years ago. I suffered
chronic headaches, debilitating fatigue, and all the aches and pains that go
along with this condition. I tried every modality you can imagine to get some
relief. I tried acupuncture, hypnosis, tranquilizers, painkillers,
physical therapy, biofeedback, chiropractic treatments, etc. At one point,
they even pumped music through my body! I had resigned myself to adjusting my
life around the problem.
I was introduced to goji
and thought that if it gave me a little more energy, I would be grateful. I
could not have imagined that within two months it would totally eradicate
every symptom! I now sleep like a baby and the headaches, aches and
pains are gone! I am back to my old self again and better than ever. It
is amazing!!
