I was not a girly girl, BUT I dreamed about finding my knight in shining armor, MY Prince Charming! It took a while but he finally arrived! I was so excited to start a new chapter in my life, our lives!
Life was going well, I was happily working as an RN at the time. I had submitted my resignation and the wedding planning was underway.
One night about 6 weeks before we got married, I was working the night shift. I went in to take my lunch break. I was a bit tired so I rushed through eating and decided to take a quick rest during the last bit of my break.

One night about 6 weeks before we got married, I was working the night shift. I went in to take my lunch break. I was a bit tired so I rushed through eating and decided to take a quick rest during the last bit of my break.
When I woke up I did NOT feel well at all! My supervisor saw me as I left the breakroom and asked me if I was okay. Normally, I reply with a chipper ‘I’m fine” but this time I was NOT fine. I was SICK and I knew it. I told her right then that she needed to take me off the schedule for the next night shift.
I went in to the doctor that day. Turns out I had mononucleosis. I was told to go home and rest for 4-6 weeks and to call my supervisor and tell them I wasn’t going to be back to work.
Rest for 4-6 weeks? These were the last 6 weeks I had to plan the details of our wedding!
I was heartbroken.
I was too tired to finalize all the details and my family ended up doing 99% of the work. I found out, sadly, that I was too tired to even talk to my fiancée on the phone for more than 15 minutes and I’d have to hang up and go take a nap.
This was NOT how I wanted to start my life as a new bride.
I was exhausted all the time. We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon and all I wanted to do was sleep…
2 years later we had our first child and things got worse and I got more tired. After our second I felt even worse! I loved my husband and kids but being a wife and a mom was wearing me out.

Extra activity exhausted me for days.
With any significant exertion my muscles acted like I had tortured them with an intense workout and it took days to recover! I couldn’t keep track of our family schedule. I had chronic headaches. I could take a nap and wake up feeling like I had not even fallen asleep.
After sleeping 10 hours straight at night I felt like I hadn’t been asleep more than 2 minutes.
Of course I went to my doctors asking for help. My doctors said there was nothing they could do for me. I was told to go home and de-stress my life and get more rest, that that was the only thing they could do for Chronic Fatigue.
All my labs were within normal limits.
More rest, really?!? I rested all the time and it was not helping! I wanted answers and solutions but no one had anything for me.

| A ray of hope broke through the clouds! 18 months ago, I went to a health seminar presented by a naturopatic doctor. This ND was offering me something no one else had done in the past 11 years. |  |
He offered me hope that I COULD feel better. I COULD get my life back! Can you understand that I was ready to try ANYTHING!?!
If it hadn’t happened to me I would have never believed it!
Within 1 week I was feeling immensely improved. I went to sleep and woke feeling refreshed. I found it was less taxing on my system to do simple chores like mopping the floor.

| I got to laugh and play with my kids and really enjoy it. One day I found myself thinking “Oh, THIS is what it is like to LOVE life” I felt like I had forgotten how to enjoy life, to be happy. If you're going through this...please, please, please learn from my experience! Life can be joyful. It can be filled with happiness, laughter and sunshine!
