Health Update & 47 Second Video
Published: Thu, 04/27/23
In todays health update, I’ve got a few things to share with you. I will share with you how I came off of Prednisone completely 5 days ago and how I’m doing with that move.
I’ve also been having flashbacks of my Hospital Horror Surgery story, which happened the day after I had surgery. I was heavily abused by the surgeon. I haven’t gone into much detail about what happened to me that day, so I thought that I would share that in todays health update. It’s pretty bad, so I thought I would start off with a fun 47 second video, which may give you a little giggle.
As many of you know, I’ve cut my hair short, and I’ve been loving my new look. However, 2 weeks ago, I got another haircut but it was way too short this time. If you saw my pic with my Freeze Dried Durian, then you saw this disaster. Well, this 47 second video will reveal how I’m doing now with it 2 weeks later lol.

Hee hee he. I crack myself up lol!
Moving right along, I came off of prednisone completely about 5 days ago. Every time I go a level down in mg’s from weaning off of Prednisone, I always get the same symptoms. I get a little scared each time, because I’m unsure if it’s temporary or if it will turn into something worse. However, all along the way it’s been temporary, minor, and great.
It’s so weird how I get these symptoms. One is a temporary form of Arthritis of some kind. My fingers sometimes just get locked up and stuck and I have to wait it out. I type on my computer on the couch sitting attached to my daughter right next to me, so my fingers go in all sorts of weird positions as I type. However, it’s totally worth it lol.
When I came off of Prednisone completely, the next day this locked-up thing happened in my hand. I tried just relaxing it and letting it play through. It stopped, but the next day, my hand ended up being sore for a few days, but then it went away completely. After that it only happened one time, but it was very minor comparatively speaking. I think it’s just my body balancing out on introducing less and less cortisol/prednisone into my system. It seems like that is coming to an end now as my body balances out with no prednisone.
I also get pain and cramping in my colon area every time I wean down to a new level of Prednisone. This is the scariest symptom for me. However, they are way minor this time around, and I haven’t experienced any for a good two days now. I think I’m passed that too.
I also sweat like crazy at night as the Prednisone comes out of me. I wake up soaked in sweat a couple times a night.
I’m doing super well, but I am going to just stand on guard for a couple of weeks as I get this Prednisone completely out of my system, and as I allow my body to balance out being off of it. I’m doing great, and it looks like I am going to succeed with flying colors.
I am so happy and healthy right now it’s crazy.
If you remember a few months ago, I weaned off successfully from Prednisone, but then soon after I just jumped off Humira cold turkey from my GI doctors advice, and I ended up back in the ER. My end goal is to get off Humira. However, I plan on taking it easy for a few months before I even consider going through that. It’s time to relax and enjoy life like you would not believe.
If you remember from last months health update, I shared that I got dropped by my old GI Doctors. Well, I made an appointment with a new GI doctor and it is the same exact one that I wanted, who I met at my last ER Trip. I couldn’t get an appointment until July or something. Therefore, I won’t even consider weaning off of Humira until I speak with her. Therefore, I’ve got plenty of time to heal, balance out, and relax. My goal is to wean off it this time very slowly, instead of coming off of it cold turkey like my previous ridiculous GI doctors had me do.
I am so lucky to have you all in my life. I thank you so much for your patience with the 1-3 week delay on your juice orders, which is now completed. I had apologized for the delay in a Newsletter, and begged for your patience, and to just please trust me, and give me time on this one. I had shared how stressed I was, and I didn’t want that stress to escalate to where it would impact my health.
I could not believe the response from that message. First off, we have never been that far behind on anything. The demand was huge and there was so many opportunities for delays in the supply chain. I have never experienced so few complaints, not to mention for the longest delay that we’ve ever had among so many people.
Thank you so much, and again, I am so lucking to have such caring people in my life. Thank you all. As many of you shared, it was definitely worth the wait. I’ll share more on that May 1st.
Ok, now we are going to move on and I am going to share with you my Hospital Surgery Horror story. It you can’t stomach something like this, you can just stop reading here.
Looking back on it now, the surgeon was an absolute psychopath masked as an old, kind, gentle, and caring man. The last time I went to that hospital, I was not surprised to hear that he no longer had a job there.
The day after my surgery, the surgeon wanted me to eat. I ended up drinking too much of the hospital orange juice and I ended up vomiting. I know that all I needed to do was fast and not eat as I healed for a day or so. I was getting the nutrition I needed from a feeding tube.
The day after the surgery where he removed my colon is when I vomited. He used the fact that I vomited as an excuse to withhold pain meds from me. Imagine having your stomach sliced opened, with an incision of 4-5 inches or so, having your intestines removed, sewn back up, and then being refused pain meds the very next day.
I’m shaking as I write this story.
I ended up endlessly screaming for help. They came to take me to get an X-ray on another floor. I was screaming in pain as they were rolling me down to the first floor. A woman doctor or nurse on the bottom floor where I was getting the X-ray was just looking at me and saying that this is just not right. When she said that I straight yelled to her that they are refusing me pain meds.
Since it became the night shift, there was no one really to help me, and he kept me off of the pain meds through the entire night. There would be many times before this where the night nurses would contact the surgeon with my questions, and he would respond. However, my endless cries got no where during this time period of being off of the pain meds.
I was begging the nurses for help, but I believe the surgeon just said to leave me be. That night, nurses would not even visit me, and I was just laying down suffering in pain swimming in cold liquid vomit on my bed. Nobody would help me. The surgeon later made it sound like I was abusing the nurses, when I was just screaming and begging for help. That’s how I believe he conned the nurses into not helping me that evening. They wouldn’t even visit my room no matter how many times I pressed the help button.
The next morning finally came, and it was authorized that I could finally have pain meds, which just so happened to be before I could complain to the morning admin. I finally slept after I got the pain meds and I was then woken up to the surgeon at the foot of my bed.
I looked at him with the most harsh scowl that you can possibly imagine, and he reprimanded me back saying I will not help you if you continue to treat my nurses this way. Then he exclaimed, “Do you understand? Do you understand?!
He had the power over my pain meds so all I could do in that moment was to not look at him in the eye and shake my head yes up and down with a frown and with tears coming out of my eyes.
Keep in mind that I didn’t treat the nurses badly. I just needed help and I was begging for it.
That was the end of the pain med fiasco, and I was fine after that. I simply fasted for just a little bit more and as expected I was completely fine without vomit. As you can see, I’m not surprised he no longer works there anymore.
During this time period, I did a short ‘My Story” video on my Facebook page. I didn’t go into great detail about the situation, but a woman said who watched my short story, commented that she saw a crown of thorns around the top of my head.
Take that for what it’s worth, but there was something deeper happening on a spiritual level, and the way I see it, is that it was part of my journey, and only blessings will come from it in the end. Soon, for those that are interested, I am re-opening my Patreon account about my spiritual views on matters on many things like this.
I’m a little shaken up after writing that out, but I truly feel that I am lucky and blessed that I went through that as weird as that sounds.
Anyway, I’ve come a long way.
Below is a pic of me at my worst a few years before I had surgery. This is me refusing medical help trying to heal the “natural way”. Yet, I still get messages from extremists that I should go on some sort of fasting retreat in order to heal naturally lol. As you can see, I tried fasting and it almost killed me.
I then finally went on meds including Prednisone, gained my weight back, and was doing extremely well.
However, you don’t want to be on Prednisone long-term. Due to the years and years of attempts in order to try to heal naturally and avoiding medical intervention 100%, it was too late to save my colon. There were no more opportunities left for me to try to heal naturally or I would die. I actually did die and was brought back to life. However, there may have been one more opportunity that I missed out on in order to heal with meds. I just didn’t have the experience that I have now in order to attempt that approach. That approach was also apt to fail in the long-run anyway, and it’s probably good that I got the surgery earlier in life, rather than later.
Below is a picture of me, which would have been my last moments of life, if I didn’t get medical intervention. If I would have died, my business would have been left over to a man that worshipped the Devil. By God’s grace it is now being left to my family. How grateful I am. Now I have dedicated my life to my family and I will spend the rest of my days rebuilding for them divorce or no divorce.
Don’t freak out by this pic below lol. I have went through such a drastic healing and change since then, and you can see why, to me, I am healed. I also included an ‘After’ picture below this one, of me from that recent ‘Juice Party’ we did before I got the super super short hair cut lol.
While I do feel that our new Juice Powders have helped keep me out of the ER since I’ve gotten them into my hands. I also feel that I have gained experience on how to get through the weaning processes without getting ill. I just hope my new GI doctors will help me with a gentle weaning process off of Humira. I am happy to go through a weaning process that takes a year or even a longer period of time.
In last months health update, I shared that when my previous GI Doctors took me off of Humira Cold Turkey, my legs muscles would cramp up and lock up in major Arthritic pain in the most drastic unimaginable way possible over and over again. I experienced that with coming off Prednisone too, but it was extremely minor comparatively speaking, because of how slow I weaned off of Prednisone. If I come off Humira very slowly, I believe it can also be a very gentle process. When I came off Prednisone too fast once, the aches were just as bad as coming off Humira cold turkey.
I truly hope and believe that I can get off Humira completely and successfully, which is the final med that I am on. I just hope that my new GI doctors support this attempt. Otherwise, I’ll have to continue my search until I find a way. It’s more difficult than prednisone, because it’s a shot and not a pill. I’m on 40ml of Humira every two weeks. However, a 20ml and 10ml shot exists. Don’t worry though, I am seriously in no rush here. I probably won’t even attempt it for 6 months.
As usual, I will keep you updated with my monthly health updates. Again, thank you all for your support, kindness and love.
