I have had cerebral palsy all my life. I've had chronic pain for about a year, in what remains of my right hip. The pain was controlling my life. I was regularly thinking of suicide and begging God to help me. But euthanasia goes against everything I believe in. With me living in Canada, it took a year to see to start to find answers. Morphine wasn't enough to control the pain, but I found that by supplementing the drug with pain wipes, for example, I was much more comfortable. But the pain wipes were $25 a box and I was on a fixed income. When I did see a CP specialist, they were able to eliminate cerebral palsy as a cause of my pain. They refered me to a pain clinic, but they said it would take two years and it could be for the wrong type of pain. In short, they said, go home and learn to live with your pain. They thought I was ready for that news, but I wasn't. I had lost 20 pounds in the past year because the pain had affected my appetite and my ability to cook. I couldn't remember the last time I had done something fun. The pain was destroying me. When the specialists told me to learn to live with the pain, I began to ask myself, "Can I learn to live with this for the rest of my life? I'm only 34." It was at this point I learned about Omega 3 from a food magazine. It said it had "therapeutic benefits" for those with chronic pain. "Benefits?" My pain went from a 12 out of 10 to a 3. I went from having pain 16 hours a day (during the time when I sat in my wheelchair) to having large blocks of time when I had no pain at all! Plus it was 75% cheaper than pain wipes (if I stuck to Omega 3 yogurt twice a day). I began smiling again. My friends said the stress lines were gone from my face. I'm doing the things I love again, things I thought I'd never do again! I've been taking this stuff in concert with my medication for two months and it's still working beautifully! I learned about Omega 3 through the grace of God and I want to share the news of this wonderful breakthrough with others who are in the same boat that I was once in. I owe God that much for the life he's given back to me.
