12 years ago today I smoked my last cigarette, I used an E-cigarette to help me quit… 12 wk from tomorrow my legs started swelling, I didn’t know why but it wasn’t going away , test after test finally told I had developed primary lymphodeama , my lymphatic system was shutting down and the likely cause was an allergic reaction to the e-cigarette, doctors told me NO POINT in trying to lose weight, NO POINT trying to exercise as this condition was too painful and diet wouldn’t change anything,the following years saw my weight soar by stones , not just from this condition but by Grief too I plunged into darkness … no light at end of tunnel , I knew years later I had to try do something to make me somewhat healthier, Unislim has saved me on So many levels and il be eternally grateful and love helping people find their way thru the hard days to live happier healthier lives , I’m proof that it’s never too late to turn life around, I’m proof that doctors don’t always get it right either , yes I still have lymphodeama, I always will, but I did lose weight and I move everyday walking kms every day because I CAN … I found my way when I’d lost all hope … I gave up smoking to make my life healthier… I didn’t see the swerve ball that would follow…. But I’ve come full circle and I’m healthiest I’ve ever been xx
