Charcot Marie Tooth (CMT) Hope For Healing
New Beginnings
Hi, I’m Tracey! While my life’s journey has been filled with a lot of emotional and physical suffering, it's also made me a very compassionate person. I’ve accomplished so much more than anyone expected - college degree, a career as an analyst - and now I’m focused on healing my diseases and starting a non-profit to help others.
The Valleys
I was diagnosed with Charcot Marie Tooth (CMT) muscular dystrophy at age three and have fought all my life. My life has been challenging: first losing my ability to walk and eventually losing my career, then dealing with severe muscle atrophy, intense body pain, joint pain, arthritis, spinal curvature, anxiety, depression, connective tissue disease, a skin disease, nerve transmission issues, and more. Last year I was bedridden and even tried to commit suicide when I thought nobody would help me fight anymore. I hit rock bottom and was saved. It all started with a prayer and a book “Medical Medium Secrets Behind Chronic and Mystery Illnesses and How to Finally Heal.”
Rising Up
The @medicalmedium books have given me hope, faith, and information to heal that I couldn’t find anywhere else. I’m accomplishing the impossible and reversing all of my diseases. It takes time, but I’m finally rising out of the ashes. I feel like I have a new beginning and a new story unfolding. I have a clarity that I’ve never had before. I feel so blessed that the pain is nearly gone, the depression and suicidal thoughts are gone, my panic attacks are a thing of the past, my connective tissue is repairing, my sacrum untwisted, my brain fog has lifted, my muscles are actually building, and my skin disease is clearing. I’ve been sick for so long it’s going to take time to fully heal, but I’m headed in the right direction. I have learned nothing is impossible!! Nothing can keep the light from shining bright in my life and I know that someday I’ll walk again! “You deserve to heal.” ~ @medicalmedium ‘ “For I will restore health to you and heal you of your wounds,” says the Lord’ ~ Jeremiah 30:17
Hi Tracey, I have a friend in church whose son suffers from this same disease. Would you mind sharing your IG handle so that I can send her there for encouragement? Or the name of your non-profit?
