"I Wish I Could Bottle That Stuff!!!" Oops THEY DID!!!


We all have times in our lives when the going gets rough. It seems we use every drop of emotional and physical energy just to get out of bed in the morning because we know what lies ahead. We know we can't escape it.


It is hard to watch loved ones go through these times and going through the ride with them can be taxing. Love and faith sustain us through so much. It can be frustrating when you have Lupus or any physical condition that interferes with your ability to respond as effectively as you would like to the situation you are facing.

This has been a difficult year for my family. The past 2 months particularly so. I thought we had a reprieve this past week only to be blind sided again yet today. No I am not having a pity party here.... I am going somewhere with this. Tonight I was sitting here at 11:30 pm and realized Geez about 5 months ago I would not be able to sit here at this hour and write after having the type of day I just had. HECK I doubt that I would be functioning. As I had said in a earlier post, since starting Sublingual B-12 I have better concentration, memory and energy than I have experienced in years due to my lupus. I am thankful that I am able to fully participate and contribute to the things necessary during this time.

As for the Nopalea, it continues to give me mobility I have not had in years. I continue with the carving and doing things I haven't done in a long time. I continue off of the 800mg 3 x's a day of Ibuprofen and have even started lowering my Prednisone dose, which has been years since we have done that. I rarely need my pain med, unless I do something silly like run out of Nopalea. Yeap, in the not too distant past I ran short of Nopalea which has not happened to me before. I thought no big deal, I'll wait till my next scheduled shipment to come. BIG MISTAKE!!!! By the end of the week I was miserable. I was already a believer..NOW it is sealed.

If you have any issues with inflammation like: Arthritis, Lupus, sports injuries, Bursitis. Check out the information at the Sonoran Bloom site on Nopalea. Besides the intrinsic immune issues that go hand in hand with many conditions that involve inflammation. Many of the treatments involve immunosuppresant therapy. So the added benefit of this product's boost to the immune system makes it even more appealing.

As for me, I only wish I had found these 2 products earlier.

Cheers,
