Who Knew??

So as I have gone through all of this there are issues that have popped up that I wasn't aware of... Like nerve pain. If you have never had nerve pain at your joints it kinda feels like you always "just need to crack" that joint to make the pain go away. The problem is you can "crack" your joint all you want, it doesn't relieve the pain. Also the pain can be both intermittent and/or constant at any given time. The Taxol I was on caused it. No one said that after chemo I would still be dealing with all this on the level I am. I was SOOOOO really to be done!! BUT thankfully God and oils were there to help me through even this part of my journey. 

So my friends can tell you I am horrible with patience and not pushing myself. At first, that's what I thought I had done, pushed it. That's what it felt like, I had something out in my back effecting my hips. Then my knees and left arm started in. Honestly my left arm felt like someone was breaking it, not during the day... It just ached during the day. Night was when my body decided was the best time to go all out pain. I tried stuff for joint/arm issues without a lot of success. Then I tried the cellular complex topically and orally (just the recommended usage of it) and found I was having less pain. I then added a vitamin complex to the mix and yay! I found I was doing SOOO much better during the day and after a while I noticed sleep was once again MINE! Oh how I had missed sleeping through the night. :) 

Life still has its moments, with all honesty, but compared to how I felt before I am so thankful I have stuff to help me through this part. This can last a few months or be permanent. Being the arm pain has fully resolved with just a few applications I know I can beat this too. 

So hopefully knowing that things CAN be better helps someone out there. God is awesome and in his grand design we have things that we can use to help ourselves. Our natural curious nature has helped us develop things further. I mean HOW COOL IS THAT??? I am so glad to be able to use them to help me enjoy my life more. My kiddos are enjoying the fact that we once again have started visiting some of the MANY national/county parks around us. I have to admit I do too, I can deal with the fact I still have some building of muscle, endurance and flexibility again as long as I can enjoy being outdoors having fun while doing it!
