I DARE you to try it....

 First let me start by saying *Plexus products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.* I'm not claiming that Plexus has cured me, but it HAS helped me in SO many ways. I am NOT an Ambassador, just a happy customer!

Remember that time I got that adorable pixie cut? 

What you don't know is the reason behind that. See picture 2, I was losing chunks of hair at a time, the picture that shows the hair on the shower wall, yeah...what you can't see is there were about 3 more piles of hair lined up. This was happening every time I showered. It was so upsetting and depressing. I was so insecure about it, that many times I contemplated just shaving my hair off. No lie. Any time I was going to be out of the house, I wore a hat. But, instead of shaving my head in a moment of frustration, I got the pixie cut.

 

Now, let's talk about these pictures (which doesn't even do justice for how bad it was). I asked for prayers so many times for this miserable rash on my face. I never shared a picture of it, b/c it was embarrassing to me, I hated even leaving the house. I saw a dermatologist and he gave me some meds for it....keep reading I talk more about this in a bit.

Every where that looks red on my face in this picture, was SO raw, chapped and painful.

Cue 4th picture. The mysterious swollen leg. I saw specialist after specialist after specialist. Blood work, MRI's, X-Rays etc. I've been tested for autoimmune disorders, ruled out blood diseases/disorders (despite having abnormal labs) and still no answer. It's been almost 2 years and I STILL do not know what is wrong with my leg. The only thing that I have been told is whatever caused it, permanently damaged it. It's forever going to be larger than my other calf. The only time it changes sizes is when it swells more, which it does on my really active (running errands half the day, doing a lot of walking, exercising etc) days.

What you can't see in any picture I post....the chronic fatigue and pain that I was experiencing every single day. I would be awake maybe an hour or two in the morning and then I would have to put a movie on for Ronnie so I could crash on the couch. It didn't matter what I tried, I could not stay awake. I LIVED on energy shots. Sometimes 3 a day and I still could not function. Being a stay at home Mom of a special needs child and a homeschooler, this WAS NOT an option for me.

*Chronic pain brought on by bulging discs in my neck. Bone spurs and degenerative changes in my back. A old injury to my foot from when I broke it in 7 places, a osteochondroma in that same foot. Fractured sacrum. And the mysterious swollen leg*

At one of my follow up appointments with my Rheumatologist to go over results of the many, many tests I had done, the nurse practitioner informed me....that they still didn't know what was wrong with me. She said some of my symptoms could be Fibromyalgia and there is a family history, but at that time the doctor wasn't taking new fibro patients. So instead, she handed me some scripts to try that they use for their fibro patients. I just felt like that wasn't the right path for me. Like many of you see daily, I kept seeing posts about Plexus. And to be honest, like many of you, I was so tired of seeing and hearing about Plexus....but...

As a last resort, I ended up trying Plexus. I was extremely skeptical, I thought there is no way people are truly seeing all these results. First I started with just the Slim. A week went by and I didn't feel any different. Then two weeks went by, still felt the same. After the third week, I noticed I wasn't having problems with my insomnia (brought on by my Bipolar Disorder). I also noticed that I wasn't stiff and in horrible pain after waking up. And thank goodness, my fatigue wasn't there. Then I started to notice my sugar cravings weren't there. I wasn't going to the cabinet for handfuls of chocolate chips throughout the day.

But then I started having the face rash problem and went back to see my Rheumatologist. He wanted me to get in to see a Dermatologist ASAP to have biopsies done. And he sat me down and told me that unfortunately I was a mystery (all of my symptoms didn't point to one thing and all my tests were fine) and told me that we could try a 8-12 week steroid trial to see if it helped my symptoms. And if it did help, we would then move on to a permanent stronger prescription. Any time a doctor is willing to put me on medication WITHOUT a diagnosis, I'm saying no thanks. I didn't want a band-aid and at that point, I felt like that was all that was being offered. He felt that my immune system was seriously out of whack, but just couldn't give me an answer as to why. He also mentioned trying a cleanse to which he suggested BioCleanse by Plexus.

**The dermatologist diagnosed me with Eczema, Perioral Dermatitis, Seborrheic Dermatitis and Acne (which I would get really bad cystic acne. Acne on my chest and back)**

I thought, okay here is a doctor telling me to TRY Plexus, awesome! So I went ahead and added the Probio5 and BioCleanse to my Slim (triplex combo). WOW. What a difference this has made in my life. I sleep better, my acne is better, my stomach feels better (diagnosed with Gastroparesis as a young adult), my aches and pains feel better. I made the mistake of not ordering my Probio5 before I ran out and what happened? My acne was back, especially on my chest and my eczema immediately started to flare up, along with that horrible rash on my face. I will NOT run out of Probio5 EVER again!  When I started to work on my gut health (which contributes to over 80% of our immune system), the rest just started to fall into place.

I started seeing others post about XFactor and how it was helping thicken their hair and with new hair growth, so I added that to my Plexus regimen. I've been on it for almost a month and WOW were they right!  (as you can see in the hair picture above, no more balding)

I'm learning to live with an abnormal leg...

Do you see that? I can actually leave the house WITHOUT a hat to hide my hair loss! I'm finding new hair growth all the time it seems like and I LOVE IT!

Plexus has HELPED with my:

Acne
Eczema
Chronic Fatigue
Chronic Pain
Dermatitis Issues
Tummy Troubles
Anxiety
Insomnia
Sugar Cravings
Migraines
Lost 7lbs (that I put on thanks to all those sugary energy drinks)
Relief from my periods (that's another good blog entry I should do)

These are just my personal results, I'll blog another day about how Plexus has helped Ronnie, my 6 year old son who has Autism. I take the Triplex Combo, XFactor, Plexus Nerve (which is great for when I do get a headache or when my leg is bothering me) and Plexus Body Cream.
**As of 10/26/15 I am CONSISTENT with the Triplex Combo. I NEVER go without the Probio5


So, if you've been debating trying Plexus, Do it. I DARE you to try it. I once doubted it and my regret is that I didn't try it SOONER. You literally have no risks with a 60 day money back GUARANTEE. You can't walk into GNC and get that kind of guarantee.

***UPDATE**** Check out how Plexus is helping my son Ronnie! 
***SECOND UPDATE*** (10/26/15)

I posted a comparison picture to my Facebook page on /10/7/15 and wanted to add it here as well. I spoke in this blog entry about losing chunks of hair and I do mean CHUNKS. The first picture in the Before pics, that's how much hair I was losing every single time I showered. The second picture in the Now pics is what I lose now. I'm SO thankful for Plexus!


***UPDATE 3/7/16*** I've recently added MegaX to my nightly routine.
