Two weeks ago, I was really sick with a pancreatitis attack. During these times, I drink only a limited amount of fluids due to the severe pain...just enough liquids to keep me hydrated and out of the hospital. During this time, I stopped taking my supplements. I thought, how nice. I do not have to choke down all those pills and endure the awful aftertaste!
On the eighth day of no supplements, my pancreatitis attack finally stopped, but I felt absolutely awful. My body hurt in ways I had long forgotten about. I could not move without intense pain shooting through my body. Even lying in bed, I was in agony. I slept about 22 hours a day. It was a tremendous struggle to keep awake. The following day, again, I had awful pain and kept falling asleep. I decided maybe I should resume my supplements and reluctantly took all the pills. The next day, I still had intense pain, but I felt as though I had a little bit of energy to keep my eyes open. I took another round of supplements. Finally in the evening (day 2 of taking my supplements) my pain started subsiding. On day three of taking my supplements, my pain was greatly reduced and I was sleeping a lot less. As the days continue on, the excruciating pain has not returned. Praise be to God!
I did a lot of research to find supplements which would benefit the various symptoms/conditions I have. I have tweaked it over the years. I have run out of some supplements in the past and could feel the effect of not taking them...but there was always a doubt in my mind if the supplements worked or if it was my imagination. Well, after this, I know they work! I am so thankful that the constant intense pain and sleeping 22 hours every day have vanished. What a tremendous blessing!
