QUIGONG TO THE RESCUE!

bY Shirley M. Carolan, ATM-G

It is hard for me to believe that I am coming to the end of my 5th week with Shingles!! I don’t ever remember ever having such a debilitating disease, and, it certainly can’t be compared with the Chicken Pox I had as a child. While many of the lesions have healed many still have not, which means I still experience periodic stabbing pain and incessant itching and a terrible burning sensation.

However, I took advantage of another, wonderful, long distance (free) healing session with Michael Mohoric on September 13. As the session began, I felt a warmth start in my feet, up my legs, and through the rest of my body. It’s remarkable, when you think that for days my feet had been ice cold, especially at nght. But I was either too tired, or too lazy, to get up and put socks on!.

Gradually, I became aware that the incessant itching and burning that I experience 24/7 had lifted. I was amazed and in awe of this revelation. I had not been free of these symptoms for a month, they were my constant companions, and now I sensed an unusual freedom from them. I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, it had been so long since I felt like a normal person. Shingles had taken over my life! My body still looks hideous from the lesions, and I don’t know how much scarring will remain.

However, I still have occasional bursts of pain, burning, and itching, but nothing like the 24/7 symptoms I am used to experiencing. My doctor said I had a virulent case of Shingles and now I believe her.

Today, I am grateful I can drive my own car anywhere! I can shop for groceries on my own, and take myself off to doctors’ appointments, etc. Over the weekend, I even did laundry for the first time in 6 weeks! And, I sat at my easel and dabbled with my oil paints for about 2 hours! Something I’ve not done in months. I still get very fatigued after a couple of hours even though I’m on oxygen 24/7. But now I am listening to my body and not my head!
Gradually, I am getting my life back together but I need a lot of patience too. Maybe that’s my lesson to learn.

Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you, especially if you’ve ever had Shingles or have some good home remedies for it.
