This little sachet has changed my life in ways I never imagined!
I have complex ptsd from almost 2 decades as a first responder, 8 months being in a physically abusive relationship, and being emergency intubated twice and conscious for both. I was also in a very bad accident 3 years ago.
I have a traumatic brain injury from that last account. I had to relearn how to walk, talk, and speak. I’ve been to more then 10 different neurologist. I’ve been told, “I should file for full disability”, ”I’ll never run again”, “I’ll be lucky to work in my field again”, and “I need to suck it up and get over it”.
My biggest, most frustrating symptom has been not being able to see at night. I’m not talking about being uncomfortable. I could not read signs, the lights made me cry in pain, and could not judge the distance between the car in front of me.
My C-PTSD means constant anxiety, horrible nightmares, and heighten reactions to everything. That is in a nutshell to say the least.
- I have now driven at night 8 times. Tonight I drove by myself on the expressway for the first time at night, to the north side of Atlanta. I was able to attend a co-workers wedding reception and see the beautiful bride! this is something I would not have been able to do 2 months ago! I cry just thinking about this! Every doctor I have seen has said I will never get my night vision back! That I will just have to readjust my life. (Below is me tonight, getting to dress up in my Wonder Women dress)
- I have not had any PTSD symptoms in a month and half. I thought it was a coincidence until a patient kicked me in the chest at work. That would have normally been a major trigger for my PTSD. Those close to me were VERY concerned it was going to trigger bad symptoms, I had ZERO! I have faced a few other situations recently that normally would have triggered flashbacks and I have not had any! I have not gone more than a month without symptoms in the last five years.
I still have a long way to go in my recovery, but I seriously was giving up hope that these things would EVER get better! I don’t feel like the words that dōTERRA has changed and saved my life, really and truly encompass it!
