Health issues: Angina, blood pressure, cholesterol, arthritis, sleep apnoea, water retention

I have had many health issues for more than 12 years.  I have arthritis in my lower back, shoulder, and knees. I have angina, water retention, blood pressure and cholesterol. I also suffer from sleep apnoea.

I have tried physio, exercise, and hydrotherapy. I used to take very strong painkillers because the pain from arthritis was too much.

I couldn’t go visiting my family and friends, I would get short of breath and could only walk a few steps.  I was using crutches and then a walking stick.  I had almost given up hope that I would get better.  It made me sad, lonely, and depressed.  I was wondering how could I live like this any longer.  I was having temper tantrums and thinking, “What am I going to do? I’ll be an invalid one day”.  My sister used to take the mickey out of me and told me to get a motability scooter but I said no.

In 2002, I had a biopsy on my right leg but they found nothing.  After the biopsy, my leg was very weak.  I was on crutches for 12 weeks and then used a walking stick since then.

An old friend of the family told me about Ceragem.  We live in Blackburn and we couldn’t find it at first and a kind lady took us to Centre on the corner of Church St and Pole St in Preston.

The first time was fine but after a few days I had lots of aches and pains and I nearly gave up. I kept coming.  Then I developed gout and stopped for a couple of days.  I went to the doctors and showed him a Ceragem leaflet.  The doctor said to me, “Keep on going it is very good”

We come to Ceragem 5 days a week and my niece and I have been coming for 12 weeks now. Slowly and surely I am getting better every day.

I was supposed to have a knee replacement but I told the consultant that I use Ceragem and I didn’t want the replacement.

The other day the doctor said, “Your blood pressure has gone like a 16 year old girl.  What have you done to it?” He was very surprised. I told him Ceragem.

I don’t use angina spray, or dry mouth and throat spray any more. I also used to take tablets to control my bladder but I don’t take them any more.  I don’t have water retention any more.  I don’t take any painkillers now.

I am more active, can do fresh cooking every day. I used to have to sit down when making chappatis.  I have more energy, I can take my hoover upstairs. I sleep very well.

I’ve still got a walking stick but I don’t use it any more.  I have less pain in my knees, hips, and shoulder.

If you don’t use Ceragem, you’re missing out.  Go and try and see the benefit. It’s a slow process but very good.  I am going to carry on going to Ceragem and encourage people to come as well.
