Yesterday I had a demo using the AmpCoil. It is a Yesterday I had a demo using the AmpCoil. It is a proprietary PEMF system that combines the science of sound therapy and Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy into one portable device. It was easy to use and very relaxing. I’ve heard of many people using an AmpCoil for Lyme but my family and I have never had the opportunity.

Have you used one for the treatment of Lyme or other health conditions and what are your thoughts?

A big thank you to Heather @spirited_aesthetics for having me to your beautiful practice to try this.

On this day in 2009 I was diagnosed with chronic L On this day in 2009 I was diagnosed with chronic Lyme & co-infections which came after 2 years of seeing every specialist in the area while having debilitating symptoms. 

Following my diagnosis my children and my husband would be diagnosed. Tickborne diseases resulted in one of my children having PANS. (Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome)

Our battle for our health lasted for at least another 5-7 years. It took an average of 2 years to get each one of us diagnosed.

This was at a time when Lyme wasn’t heard of like it is now. Doctors who treated it were hiding because they were being accused of malpractice. 

You couldn’t find anyone who knew how to treat it unless you joined a secret group and then you’d get initials and secret messages for how to find them. 

No one had heard of PANS or PANDAS and by advocating for my children I was thrown out of a few pediatric practices. ☹️ I was a trouble maker because I knew my kids were really sick but all their blood work came back fine.

I praise God that we found healing and are all in remission and that my kids are healthy and strong and living amazing lives. I praise God I’m a GiGi and can’t wait for more little grandbabies. 😉 

I’m thankful for the platform I have as a result of the difficult journey. I’m thankful for the many beautiful people I’ve been able to encourage and point to Jesus. 

We don’t usually see the blessings or growth in the deep pain and hardship we suffer but I encourage people to look for them along the way and to keep their eyes firmly fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of their faith. He is true healer. 💚
What are you frustrated about right now? What’ What are you frustrated about right now? 

What’s keeping you distant from God?

Are you focused on your problems? Are you trying to solve them on your own? 

I know! I do it too. 

I get focused on what’s going on around me. I get up from my quiet time and then so easily forget that I just spent time with the God of ALL creation! God, who loves you and me. 

He waits for us to look to Him and to really seek Him.

He has something so wonderful for us and we miss out because we are striving to do it all for ourselves.

What are you trying to solve right now? 

💭Your next treatment plan? 
💭 Where the money is going to come from to pay your medical bills?
💭 How to help your child get better from Lyme, PANS or some other illness?
💭 Your marriage?

What is it that has you distracted?

If you are God’s child, saved by the blood of Jesus, then you have a loving Father who is waiting for you to shift your eyes to Him. You have to quiet the noise and surrender your control in order to really hear Him. He’s waiting!! He is always working out our circumstances for our good and His glory. Often, we don’t like that but in hindsight we realize it is always the best way!

I’m praying for you today!! 🙏

Cease striving and sit before the Lord. Be still! Wait on Him and expect to hear from Him. He loves you so much! He will never leave nor forsake you! 💚💚
