I know its been a long time since I’ve written on the board but just know amazing things are happening all because of the super amazing people on this support board and all the encouragement you have all given me with your success stories and all of your faith in this treatment to help me start this treatment 5 years ago with Dr. F and Dr. L who I am so forever grateful for.
I am 5 months PREGNANT!!! Can you believe it, I surely can’t and trust me Dr. F was blown away too! But to catch you up to speed, Im 21 weeks and off all medication (minocin & clindy) since I found out at 4 weeks, and I feel suuuuuuuper great! I still see dr. F every 4 weeks just to make sure all is good. Dr. F said I must be that well to have gotten pregnant so if that doesn’t tell that AP works then I don’t know what to tell ya. 😉 But trust me anyone who is just beginning AP or 1 or 2 years into, there really is a light at the end of the tunnel and things will get better. I remember there was a point where I could barely walk and no one could hug me because the pain was so excruciating, sleeping at night never happened maybe 20 minutes at a time, getting up and down stairs….painful, sitting, standing …painful, so please anyone who gets discouraged be strong and eat well, pray and AP does work. I will update my history thread to date.xoxoxoxo
rebeccaWow, Rebecca, your post really brought some tears to my eyes! Congratulations to you both on your pregnancy and soon-to-be new life! What happy, happy news! 😀 You are going to be an amazing mother, because you’ve journeyed through more in your young life than most with such courage and your baby will be so proud of you when old enough to understand the challenges you’ve faced and conquered.

Take care,

Am now treating for the homozygous MTHFR 1298 mutation. Off of all pain meds since Spring '14 (was on them for years--doctor is amazed--me too). Back on pain med 1/2017. Reinfected? Frozen shoulder?
Rebecca,
What AWESOME news! Congratulations!
Certainly Drs. F. and L. and everyone are so happy for you. Please keep us informed on your progress and eat some chocolate to celebrate!
By the way, I remember my first appointment with Dr. L. when he said, “We can make your skin as soft as a baby’s…”.
Rebecca, your wonderful news puts a new spin on his prediction ability.

"No one should profit over someone else's illness"Hi Lynnie, Trudi, and Randy
It’s so nice to hear from you…I miss you all, I get so emotional and just wish I could just huggg everyone on this board. I’ve come such a long way whether it was right beside some of you on AP, or after or before, I’m just so grateful for everyone on the board, for being there for me when I felt lost.
