I have a condition called RSDS. Reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome. I had a hip replacement 2012 and have had this horrible pain since then. What I thought was just surgery affects turned out to be rsds also known as crps chronic pain syndrome. It’s been over a year now and I can no longer walk on my own, I scream even when bathing when I touch my leg much less letting the Dr. Touch it. I wear a brace and…
I am sharing my story to raise awareness for brain aneurysms, silent killers that many do not know about and are misdiagnosed as sinus infections and migraines. In 2006 my headaches changed so I had a MRA. I was diagnosed with my first brain aneurysm and a few weeks later had brain surgery in order to clip it to help prevent a rupture. After a year of recovery I ws able to return to work. Fatigue and headaches were daily…
Dear Bret, I want to thank you for all you have done for my daughter Caitlyn and her organization (the Guardians of the Children). We did a meet and greet with you at the Emporium and of course even though it was her third meet and greet with you it was so amazing for her. I want to tell you her story and a little bit about what you mean to her. My daughter was the reason that we met…
After suffering from Type 2 Diabetes for almost 12 years I reversed my disease. I did what they said was impossible. I was told I would have to learn how to live with this disease for the rest of my life. For me that was not an option. That is when I started studying about diabetes, the cause and cures, which is what led to learning about the body and proper nutrition in disease reversal. Before I could be diabetes…
My story is a story of will, inspiration and hope. My husband Brad became ill in 2008 and since 2009 has not been able to eat any food, swim, shower or enjoy many of the things we do everyday and take for granite. He tries to be strong for the kids and I. He never lets his illness get in the way of being an incredible father and husband. He even cooks for us even though he will never be…

Nine years ago my motivation was that if I was able to…

My name is Laura and this past August, my childhood friend Diane and I went to see Bret in Obetz, Ohio. We had grown up loving Poison! We were recently reunited and Diane just underwent a successful surgery for bone cancer so it only seemed right that to celebrate we meet Bret together! The music from your youth always holds a special place in your memories and Bret was a big part of those years for us. Even more special…
Hi! I’m a longtime fan. I have battled breast cancer starting May 11, 2011. I had a double masectomy. I can’t have any reconstruction and recently I found out I carry the brca 2 gene and had to be opened up to remove my ovaries. I’m one month out from that surgery. Eleven days before I was diagnosed with breast cancer I lost my mother to a rare kidney cancer. I had been taking care of her when I found a lump. I refused…
