TeamBretMichaels.com / LifeRocksFoundation.org Story: A Family Diary Of Support In Overcoming Obstacles

Sunday, June 6, 2004 I was awakened at 8am by a phone call from Sean. “Roxi, something is wrong with Mom. She has a very bad headache, is dizzy, and is vomiting. I could tell by the tone of his voice he was worried and did not know what he needed to do for you. I told Sean that based on what he was telling me I thought he should call 911 but that I would be there in 5…

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.

After a year of recovery I ws able to return to work. Fatigue and headaches were daily…

After suffering from Type 2 Diabetes for almost 12 years I reversed my disease. I did what they said was impossible.

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…

Back in October 2012, I felt lumps in my left breast, so I went and had a mammogram. They hurt, so I decided they couldn’t possibly be cancer, they must have been a result of changing hormones (due to insurance no longer paying for what I was taking). They wanted me to have a diagnostic mammogram, and possibly biopsies, but I put it off since I had a new boss (worked at a major corporation). Fast forward .. I do…
