I had pain in the bottom of my feet on awakening.
I went into menopause very young at age 40. I wasn’t particularly troubled by hot flashes, but had one painful problem. When I would wake up in the morning, the bottom of my feet would hurt. I could hardly walk – I had to limp for a few minutes till the pain subsided. I looked like an old woman. When I told my gynecologist about the pain, she told me that that was my hormones and she put me on Hormone Replacement Therapy. Sure enough – that solved the problem. Years went by and I knew that HRTs were not the best to be on, so periodically, I would try to cut down my dose with my doctor’s involvement. But the main would come back and I would ask for the prescription to be put back up to the higher level. It was a catch 22 – either I took the consequences of long term HRTs or I suffered with pain in the bottom of my feet.
In September 2008 I joined Shaklee, just trying to improve my health. I started with Vita-Lea Gold which is the multi-vitamin/multi-mineral and Energizing Soy Protein which you mix up as a shake for breakfast. Within a few days I felt more energy, more satiated, and more even keel. I could hardly believe the improvement in how I felt. I was learning a lot about vitamins and minierals and the Shaklee’s new resveratrol product called Vivix. I kept hearing about testimonies of how Vivix had helped people so I decided to try Vivix and see if it would enable me to get off of my HRTs. I stopped my HRTs cold turkey and have never had the pain in the bottom of my feet since! I am amazed at how Vivix is helping me build my health. I recommend it highly.
I am on a quest for optimal health. I would love to hear what you are doing to improve your health. Watch for future posts on book reviews about great health tips for us.
