After being on Plexus and experiencing some of the best health in my life, I caught a stomach bug from my littlest. For her it was mild and I just thought it was something she ate. So of course, I kept kissing and loving on her. Which ended in me sick as a dog. Plexus is great, but it can't stop viruses.
I was vomiting and having diarrhea. I was also running a mid grade fever 101-102. I was stuck in bed or the bathroom. Then my eldest started throwing up. She had gotten the bug too. So we stayed in bed together.
I was disoriented and felt awful, but I had a light bulb moment. Something that hadn't occurred to me settled into my brain.
I had a fever. An actual fever. I have not run a fever in 14 years unless I was in the hospital or dying. Literally. Not even an exaggeration. My immune system was so tanked for years that it wouldn't kick in to do it's job, but now it was! Fevers are the body's defense when a pathogen is in there wrecking havoc. So I was overjoyed! Immobile and sick as a dog, but overjoyed.
Then a second thought occurred to me. I wasn't in the Emergency Room. Every stomach virus I have gotten in the last 14 years, I have ended up in the ER with an IV and heavy duty anti-nausea meds to get me to stop throwing up. I was ecstatic! I couldn't believe what was happening!
So the Plexus was doing exactly what it claims to do, helped my immune system become stronger. 80% of your immune system resides in your gut and once it started repairing that, I was stronger than ever.
Even though stomach bugs are yucky and awful, I would chalk this up to a win! So thankful for this health tool in my tool belt!
