BUT. I have some pretty exciting news!
Through all of my years of being sick, people had always called us saying 'Oh, I have the perfect cure for you!' or 'This product will heal you!'
It became so constant, we just stopped accepting calls because we decided that it would just be money wasted because it wouldn't work anyway.
Well, this year, we met our deductible in the first week of January. Over the course of 5 or 6 months I was on some really dangerous meds with very dangerous side effects.. they were worth it for a small while, until the bad side effects started to outweigh the bad. So one day, I made the decision that I was going to get off all meds. I just flat out dropped them all. Now, I do not recommend doing this without talking to your doctor first. My mistake. Withdrawal isn't fun.
About a month and a half ago I was getting my hair done and my hairdresser started talking about essential oils. I had heard a little about them before, but hadn't thought much of it, because in my mind it was just another strange 'cure' that was going to get pushed on me and it wouldn't work anyway, right?
After a lot of research and talking with other people, we decided that we've spent more money on on useless drugs that just made me sicker, so why not try it? I mean, it's all natural, could it really do much harm?
With that, I decided on a company, ordered a kit, continued to research it.
This is where the title of this blog entry comes in.. the second I got them, I started using them, defusing them, and trying them on my whole family. It was so much fun! No one really seemed to care, except for my brother. I got a lot of "Get them crazy indian juices away from me!" Typical over-dramatic 16 year old, right?
Let me tell you somethin', folks.
I haven't felt this good in years.
They might not work for everyone, and that's okay. But they work for me. For the first time in 9 years, something has worked. And guess what? No chemicals! The hippie in me is a little too excited over that.
Don't get me wrong, I still have my days where my body is all "not today, girlfriend."
But those days are becoming less and less.
This post isn't to say "oh my goodness you need to buy oils because they are the bee's knees", (well, they really kind of are the bee's knees), but it's to share with you all that they are NOT just crazy indian juices, as Spencer calls them, and that they really can work.
I am so, so very thankful for the Lord's provision and his never ending faithfulness to me. It has been a long road, and the road isn't just going to end, but it's becoming a little easier on me.
Praise God, something works.
Finally.
