Hi Jolene, this is Lori. I am so sorry it has taken me this long to get back
to you. The Retreat is not until next summer but I start working on it now, at
this time of year, and have been so busy doing that. You asked about my
remission and how it happened.
Well like anything, it is a long story so will give you the shorter version.
ARound December 13th, I was on my computer when all of my favorites started
shutting down, like dorrs slamming, one at a time rapidly, or so I thought. For
the next three days in my home I did not eat or take any of my meds or sleep
and I was convinced that my husband was a friend of satan and not my husband
and that he was going to kill me. After three days and nights of this plus being
incontinent the whole time, my husband called an ambulance and then for the
next 16 days after that I was in the psych ward with a Psychosis. A psychosis
from being on a depression med, mine was prozac and combining it with my
oxycontin, morphine patches, and about 12 other meds threw me into this
Psychosis
for a total of 19 days, 3 at home and 16 in the hospital. I have been thru a lot
in my life believe me, even many deaths, but nothing was as bad as those 19
days. Nothing. I lived in a hell that I thought was real and I thought the real
life was a "Fake world" I have never been so scared in my life. My RSD doc
tells me all of the time to wrote a book about it or at least a good article
about it. Someday maybe when I still don't get scared when I think about, i
probably will. When I came out of it, and I came out of it like a snap of the
finger, all of my rsd pain was gone and all of the swelling and discoloration
was
gone. And I still have no pain and no symptoms of RSD. I have my own theories
on it all, but I consider it a miracle. I am now down to two meds, down from
15, not including my diabetes meds that i recently had to start taking.
I will be having a woman that wrote a book that has RSD on how she went into
remission, coming and doing a speech at the Retreat. She really believes what
she did is what put her in remission. I am not at liberty to say what that is,
because she is selling a book talking about it. I personally know of about 6
people in the last 6 years that went into remission. So it does happen and I
know there are a lot more out there in remission i don't know about. So never
ever give up hope on a cure or a remission. Please feel free to write to me
personally anytime. Thanks for asking and looking forward to hearing from you!
