My name is Shauna. In the spring of 2001, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. What a shock this was, not only for me but also for my entire family, especially my husband. I’ve always been health conscious, eating well and working out at the gym, so consequently, I never saw this coming.

My symptoms were frightening. They ranged from vision loss with numbness and tingling in my limbs,My Story Articles to complete paralysis in my left leg. The hardest thing I had to deal with though was a mind-numbing exhaustion that just would not go away no matter how much sleep I would get. I literally felt as though I was weighted down with bricks. Even though I took a lot of anti-fatigue medications, I still needed to sleep as much as eighteen hours in a day, just to be able to function. In spite of this and to my frustration, I would still awaken in a fog.

I felt I was missing out on my life. Sleeping was the absolute last thing I wanted to do. If I decided to push it though and sleep less, I would pay the price by having to sleep more to “undo the damage” of overdoing it. I found myself becoming bitter with my new reality.

Then in the spring of 2003, a friend introduced me to a company called Usana Health Sciences. He urged me to try their vitamins because he knew I had MS. He said the Usana products had dramatically improved his children’s health.

At first, I was skeptical since I had already tried a lot of other vitamins with no success. Then I thought to myself, “what do I have to lose?” I decided to give it a try and thank God I did. To make a long story short, I found out that not all vitamins are created equal. After less than two months, the fatigue disappeared completely, to be replaced by an unbelievable surge of crazy energy. It amazes me to imagine how powerful these vitamins must be to make such an impact on someone as unhealthy as me. My fatigue was absolutely debilitating! It was so bad I even had to go on disability insurance.

Now, it has been over two years and I am happy to say I feel like a million bucks. No more anti-fatigue meds for me; my daytime sleeping is now a thing of the past, thank God. Usana didn’t cure me; I still have MS but WOW! My whole quality of life has been completely transformed. As long as I continue to take my vitamins faithfully (a small price to pay, considering the alternative,) I remain symptom free. And as if this isn’t amazing enough by itself, this same company actually pays me to take these vitamins. How can I lose? I am definitely in a win-win situation. My husband and my family and friends are relieved to have the “real Shauna” back, and I’m just plain enjoying my life again. If these vitamins can do what they did for me, imagine what they can do for you.
