I'm a 28-year-old mother of four (ages 9, 5, 3, 1). More than two years
ago, I began experiencing unexplained exhaustion, irritability, severe
hormonal changes and mood swings, also heart palpitations and other
symptoms that grew progressively worse. By 10 AM in the morning, I was
so fatigued I couldn't even get up to care for my children.
I had bouts of extreme anger and found myself punching walls,
beating my pillow and even swinging at my husband. I also developed
frequent headaches and sudden and severe allergic reactions to dogs, to
cold weather and other things. Life became a living nightmare for my
entire family, and I knew something was radically wrong with my body.
After repeated doctor visits, I was finally diagnosed 6 months ago
with Graves Disease, a form of hyperthyroidism, one of the many
"autoimmune" disorders. I was first put on beta blockers, then on a
thyroid medication. The medications seemed to make things even worse. I
found myself alternately sweating, freezing and with terrible itching
of my skin.
My body was shaking so badly, and there was so much pain in my knees
and fingers that I had to go on bed rest for two weeks. I couldn't even
raise my arm enough to brush my hair--which by then was falling out in
chunks. My nails were also breaking off in pieces. My husband had to
take time off work to care for the children and even to carry me,
sometimes daily, into the doctor's office--often I couldn't even walk.
My regular doctor was trying codeine, anti-inflammatory drugs, even
steroids, to no avail. A specialist wanted to use radioactive iodine to
destroy my thyroid gland. Suspecting the medications were part of the
problem, I began getting off them after about 4 weeks.
A short time later, someone introduced me to Acai Blend, Active, and
I began drinking one ounce, twice a day. Just two days later, I found
myself with enough energy that I no longer needed the morning nap that
had been essential for a long time. During my first week with Acai
Blend and off the medications, I still had a few, mild episodes of
heart palpitations--irregular heartbeat. Since that time, now two
months later, there have been NO recurrences.
I have gone through an entire monthly cycle free of the major
hormonal changes and mood swings. I feel no more anger or depression. I
have no more exhaustion. No more punching walls. My body doesn't shake
uncontrollably anymore. My children have their mother back, and my
husband declares he has a new wife!
Several days ago, I had a follow-up thyroid visit with my doctor.
When I told him I was feeling great, he kept looking at me, then at my
chart and appeared bewildered. When I commented that he seemed
confused, he said he was trying to figure out what they had done to
change things--the last time I'd seen him, I was in very bad shape and
in terrible pain.
