About Me

My photo
My name is Camille Morris, I'm 39, wife of a wonderful and supportive husband, and mom of two amazing and loving children for whom I thank God every day for entrusting in our care. I have always been interested in health and wellness. I am an avid reader and a lifelong learner. I crave knowledge and have studied numerous books, web sites, and taken college courses relating to health and wellness. I was very fortunate to be given a scholarship in 2004 to the famous Canyon Ranch in Tucson, Arizona where I participated in their week long program, "Life Enhancement". I was taught by some of the best and inspiring health professionals in their field. Six years ago I began experiencing chronic headaches and migraines. I started taking Tylenol and ibuprofen to alleve this pain. Now I find my body dependent on this so called "safe" medicine and have decided to go through an intense and painful withdrawal process to overcome this. I will cling to the verse, "...With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." Matthew 19: 26. I invite you to take this journey with me.

Day 22-Last post

Yesterday marked the three week mark, yeah! I think I have a handle on the pain that I'm experiencing so I'm going to close my blog posts. I wish I could say that I no longer have any headaches but that simple is not the case. What I do have is the confidence to know that I can handle the pain. What I'm struggling with is keeping my endurance up. It's like going on a diet and when you first start out you're excited, filled with enthusiasm, and ready to go. After a couple of weeks you can't stand the idea of eating another plain chicken breast, you just get tired of it. That's how I feel about my pain. I'm tired of it. It's become more and more tempting to just have a "quick fix" (which for me means ibuprofen) to relieve the pain.

I think the road for me has just begun.

Thank you all for your ongoing support, emails, and prayers. It has made this process so much easier knowing you were all there. With my love, Camille
