It has been 1 year since I was introduced to Rain SOUL.
I was diagnosed with Mitochondrial Disease approximately 8 years ago. This was after a very long time of being diagnosed with many other diseases and ailments. A few to mention are: Lupus, Fibromyalgia, Arthritis (OA & RA) Raynaud's, Sjogren's syndrome, Lactic Acidosis, Degenerative Disc Disease, Diabetes, High Cholesterol, etc.

Mitochondrial Disease is when the Mitochondria in your cells are not receiving enough oxygen and this is needed to sustain life. It can affect most any part of the body, mostly the major organs.
Around the beginning of 2016, I was having some really bad issues relating to the Mito. My energy level was so low, I couldn't do a lot of things that normal people do on a daily basis without even thinking. Going to the store to pick up a few items, would use up so much out of me, I would come home and sleep for hours just to regain some energy. Sometimes it took as much as 14 hours and even days to recuperate. It was getting to the point that I was ready to just give up. I was so tired and in so much pain all the time. I really didn't know how much more I could take.
On February 26th my friend Donna came over and she saw I was not doing very well. She came back later with a box of Rain SOUL. She said to me " I feel like God is telling me to give you this and I don't want to see you sick anymore". About a year before she asked me if I would try it and at that time I was on so much medication, I just couldn't bare to take one more thing. At this particular time, I had just had a procedure that advised me stop the mito compound. After not being on them for that period of time, I realized that they were not helping me. I still felt the same. So I told Donna that I would try it.
After the 4th day, I was amazed to feel like I was awake. I actually had energy. I kept taking it and on the 7th day, I realized that I was going to sleep without taking any medication. I would take a Tylenol arthritis and a benadryl before bed, because of leg pain and itching all night. I no longer needed them anymore.The itching and pain stopped and I was able to sleep. As time went on, I was starting to feel so much better. I started going off of more of my meds. At the time, I was taking 24 - 27 pills a day. As of today, I am taking 3.
Over the summer, I was so busy it was unbelievable. I actually did yard work. My husband and sister and I started walking. I even helped my husband put a garden in the back yard. That was amazing to everyone, 6 months before I had trouble getting out of bed.
Things just started getting better and better. I found that I could do whatever I put my mind to. Even shoveling some snow in the winter.
If I need an extra boost, I take another SOUL. I still have Mitochondrial Disease, but this SOUL has made my life so much easier to live. I want to thank God for giving me my life back with SOUL.
