I invite you to travel with me on my journey back to GOOD HEALTH.  

I have FYBROMYALGIA, which was diagnosed approximately 10 years ago.  The "condition" has literally stolen much of my life from me.  If you suffer with FMS, or know of anyone who does, please feel free to contact me and share your thoughts and/or experiences.

ENTRY FOR 6/14/05 POSTED ON 6/15/05

I took an afternoon nap today and when I woke up, I was having considerable pain in my neck, shoulders, arms, back, down into my hips and legs, basically ALL OVER.  My mind went into it's "panic mode..."  And I was thinking, "Oh no!"  Wondering if I'd had my "moments in the sun..." and they were gone.  I got out my Jeunesse and spritzed myself~ maybe a bit more than usual~ I'll admit.  Within 3 minutes I felt warmth spreading from the top of my head down through my body and, as the warmth spread, I could the pain flowing out of me.  This may sound crazy, but I could literally feel the pain "leaving through my fingers and feet..." (I'd rather be considered "crazy," than be in pain!)    I'm happy to report, it's now 1:20 a.m. on 6/15 and I'm still feeling fine.  I had another WONDERFUL DAY!  I can't explain "why" the "Jeunessing" works for me... I just know IT DOES~ and that all of the formulas used are CERTIFED ORGANIC!!!  NO ARTIFICAL CHEMICALS!!!  Everyday I am saying a BIG THANK YOU PRAYER to the BIG GUY IN THE SKY and, being totally SELFISH, I ask for ANOTHER DAY~ to feel better... to be able to do more!  And, I also say a "Thank You, to HIM" for giving G.W. the wisdom, knowledge, incentive and caring Soul to enable me to have THESE DAYS!!!  Blessings to all~  Kayte

5/31/05 THRU 6/12/05

Hello, hello, hello!!!  Good morning to all!!!  Looks like it will be another beautiful (if hot) day today.  I'm up early~ 5:30 a.m., have a load of clothes in the washer and another in the dryer and am sipping a good cup of coffee.  And.... I'm NOT HURTING!!! 

The past couple of weeks have been like a "Miracle Time" to me.  I actually got outside and started getting my porch "in order"~ moved most of the porch furniture into proper place without help.  I did have some help with the table~ it has a slate top~ and it's HEAVY!  I've been playing with my puppy again~ she really missed that.  (OK, I call her a puppy~ she'll be 3 in September~ but, like my oldest son will always be "my baby..."  she'll always be a "puppy" to me :o) 

I've been "Juenessing" about 3 or 4 times per day~ as well as adding a capful of of "D12" to my morning bath and the Jeunesse "Younger Looking Skin," to my evening bath, and "spritzing" my face with the "YLS" formula 4 or 5 times a day.  I spent a little over as month in Nevada during the Thanksgiving-Christmas Holiday and my skin, particularly my face and arms, dried out so much.  I was literally "slathering" on the lotion and moisturizer~ problem is~ it didn't seem to be helping.  I'd never had a problem with "dry skin" before.  After the past 19 days~ my skin is moist again~ feels wonderful to the touch! 

It's difficult to put into words the changes I feel have happened to me in just a little less than 3 weeks.    I've even been "getting dressed" almost every day~ yep, that's a "biggie" for me.  So often I didn't feel like it~ I hurt too bad and I didn't have the energy or the desire to get out of my pajamas.  I'm sleeping better now~ even though I keep sort of "odd hours..."  I think my body is trying to catch up on the rest its missed out on for so long.  I don't awaken because I hurt, every time I move. 

Would I ever have believed the difference 19 days has made in my life, if someone had told me?  No, emphatically not...  I'd tried too many things~ nothing helped.  The first time I tried these products and the pain went away~ I thought it must've been "in my head..."  and that it surely wouldn't last long.  Well, if it is in "my head," all I can say is that 19 days is a pretty long time for it to "stay" with me. 

I'm going to finish my laundry and go outside and enjoy a cup of coffee watching the sunrise. 

Creator's blessings to you all~ I hope you have a Beautiful Day!!!

5/30/05

Another wonderful day!  I even got off the porch and did a little weeding in the flowerbeds.  Some friends were visiting and they were amazed!  My friend, Cheryl, has had both of her knees replaced and they hurt her all the time...  :o)  well, I offered to "Jeunesse" her.  As soon as I'd spritzed her~ we did a few little exercises~ like "high" stepping, leaning down and touching the floor~ then raising our arms above our heads and doing a few stretch exercises.  She was "flabbergasted!"  Mind you, I just spritzed her through her clothes~ as I do myself~ unless I've just gotten out of the bath.  She said at first she felt a "warmth" and asked me if it was peppermint... then she said it was a "cool" sensation... and then back to a soothing warmth...  She wanted to know what the products were and I told her~ simply ~ homeopathic herbal waters~ "MIRACLE WATERS" ~ to me...  She hasn't been able to move like that with no discomfort for several years.  So, we shall see... I'm contining my travel~ Jeunessing~ on a regular basis~ or if I feel any discomfort~ I do spritz immediately.  You can't "overdose!!!"  If this is a DREAM... all I can say is "I DON'T WANT TO WAKE UP!"  I will get the rest of my entries posted ~ hopefully ~ before the end of the day~ but right now~ I'm headed for a bubble bath! Blessings for good health of mind and body~  Kayte

5/29/05 WOW, WOW, WOW!!!

6 days!!!  It's been 6 days... and I haven't had to take a pill for pain!!!  Those of you who have fybromyalgia can imagine what a blessing this is to me.  I can touch my neck and shoulders (front and back) without feeling so much pain that there should be an "apparent injury" there!!!  I'm almost scared ~ wondering if I'm still alive...  I cannot remember having this many consecutive days without pain in at least 10 years!!!  I have more energy~ because it's not being drained by the pain in my body!  It doesn't hurt every time I breathe or move...  I'm ready to go dancing!!!  :o)  Blessings & wishing you good health of mind and body~  Kayte

5/28/05:  Today is a wonderful day for me!  36 years ago at 9:18 a.m., EST, I gave birth to a WONDERFUL BABY BOY!!!  Didn't realize it would be possible to love him more than I did the first moment I saw him...  but IT WAS... I've loved him more each second of his life!  Thanks to Creator for the wonderful blessing of my oldest son, Stephen!!!  I played "tug-a-rope" with Magnolia today~ after I unloaded and then loaded the dishwasher!  Yep, another biggie, folks~ usually one of those ~ "OK, it hurts... go get a pain pill and rest for awhile until it stops..." then finish loading dishes.  By the way, I don't think I mentioned I got the laundry folded and put away yesterday, too!  Hey, G.W., IT'S A GREAT WORLD!!!  Love & blessings for good health of mind and body~ to all~  Kayte

WHO SAYS DOING LAUNDRY ISN'T FUN?

ENTRY FOR 5/27/05:  Trying to play "catch up" on my journal entries!!!  Today I did some laundry.  Yeah, I know that doesn't sound like much to a lot of people~ but to me~ it's a "Biggie..."  But, to me it is.  It was wonderful... I actually put the clothes from the washer into the dryer~ and then get another load of clothes in the washing machine~ WITHOUT have to take a break for a pain pill or two in between!!!  I'm "Jeunessing" (spritzing) myself at least 4 times a day~ more often if I feel a "twinge" in a muscle or a bit of an ache or pain...  This will be short... I have more to do~ and it's so WONDERFUL to be ABLE TO DO "NORMAL" THINGS!!!  Blessings to all!!!  Kayte

BEGINNING THE JOURNEY

Three days ago I began using herbal products, which I can only describe as "MIRACLE WATERS!"  They are manufactured by a Texas based firm, GW Agriculture.  These products are simply "herbal waters."  No pills, nothing "horrible" to drink.  You simply spritz them on yourself, in addition to adding a capful of certain ones to your bath water twice daily.
I am prescribed a number of "pain killers," which I've taken several times a day over the past years, in order to have a "somewhat functional" life.  I also have prescription medication to take at night in order to "sleep."  I would say on a pain scale of 1-10, with 10 being the highest, a "good day" for me is one being a "6,"  a "GREAT DAY," the level would be a 4 or 5, at the least.
For the past 3 days, after "spritzing" myself  several times a day, and bathing twice daily for 10 or 15 minutes, in a bath which I've added a mere capful of  the "Miracle Waters" to, not only have I found myself TOTALLY WITHOUT PAIN, I HAVE ALSO SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT WITHOUT BENEFIT OF ANY SLEEP MEDICATION WHATSOEVER!!! 
I'm also on medication for a seizure disorder, and CONTINUE to take medication prescribed for that.  I WOULD NEVER SUGGEST TO ANYONE TO DISCONTINUE PRESCRIBED MEDICATION for a particular condition, nor would the manufacturer of the products I am using.  I WISH TO STRESS THAT.
Of my own accord I've set up this site.  I wasn't solicited to do so by GW Agriculture, nor am I compensated for the statements I make herein.  I simply wish to share my experiences with others who may benefit from them.
Good Blessings and Health to You and Yours~
Kayte
