A person shares how they recovered from severe autoimmune symptoms after years of extreme dieting and debilitating pain in their hands and legs. They describe the HCG diet with 500 calories daily, nerve pain that made a fist impossible, and how they finally broke through to feel significantly better.
When I first came to you guys, I was pretty much at the end of my rope. Like, I didn't think that I had any possible way of ever feeling better, of ever losing weight. Thought that I was the one case that was never going to be able to be fixed. I went to a doctor here in town and did the HCG diet, so I was injecting myself every day with that hormone, which really ruined me for a while. I was doing 500 calories a day. I've done pretty much every diet you can imagine. I felt so sick all the time. I mean, I would wake up in the morning and I couldn't make a fist with my hands. I was in excruciating pain, like getting out of bed was even hard because I get like nerve pain down my legs. I just was not doing well. I mean, I feel so much better. My autoimmune's better. I think sometimes you get really comfortable in your pain and you get really comfortable in saying like, I'm the only one that's experiencing this, and like, you're not alone. I just would tell people to step outside their comfort zone and just try to make a change.
