Sherilyn Nutting - Now that's an Unusual Name!

Sherilyn is a name my folks made up. It’s pronounced like Marilyn.

And the last name is an English surname, although not of the normal variety.

When people ask me where I'm from, I usually have a hard time answering. I was born in South Carolina, but we lived in five different states while I was growing up, so I saw a lot of the country.

You might think my Dad was in the military, and he is, in a way. He's a preacher, so I like to say "he's in the Lord’s army".

My adult life has involved a lot of travel as well. Thirteen weeks after I graduated from college, I moved to Puerto Rico as a missionary teacher.

Yes, I do speak Spanish fluently, although not without an accent.

I truly loved mission work and planned to spend my life doing it. But...

Health Problems Forced me Home!

For the details of my struggles, please click here to read about the whole food supplement that turned my health around.

It is too long to include all the details here, yet that was the beginning of my involvement with health supplements.

I am not a doctor or a nurse, and the information given on this site is for informational purposes only.

Nonetheless, my personal experience has been when doctors were unable to help, there were health supplements that have enabled me to be healthier in my fifties, than I ever was in my twenties and thirties.

Health challenges I've Struggled With:

• Continuous severe headaches from the time I was in sixth grade until my mid to late thirties.

  They were finally treated as migraines, and that brought relief.
  
  

• Allergies that caused chronic bronchitis repeatedly.

  After being warned they might cause me to develop asthma, I was on desensitization shots for several years, but never noticed they helped much.
  
  

• Irritable Bowel Syndrome or whatever the problem was that forced me home from Puerto Rico.

  I had symptoms of irritable bowel, chronic fatigue, and fibromyalgia. That's why I referred to it as the "whatever"!
  
  

• Although not during the time I was Sherilyn Nutting, my greatest health challenge came several years ago, when I was diagnosed with breast cancer.

From the time I was in my mid thirties until after I had finished my cancer treatments, I was taking at least three to five prescription medications a day.

I had to take the one that controlled the headaches four times a day.

So, please understand, I've had experience with a wide variety of health challenges.

To return to my story, I lived in Indiana for ten years after returning to the states. I worked as a secretary, and later as a teacher.

But, after regaining enough health to work a full time job, I decided I should be able to return to the mission field. So, for the last five years I was working to make that happen. It took a couple of years to choose a board and be accepted.

I had given away all my winter clothes since I planned to spend the rest of my life there as a single missionary.

This isn't even close to the end of my story, but it does cover most of what happened while I was Sherilyn Nutting.

I was soon to be reminded, the Lord has a wonderful sense of humor, and he must have been laughing when I returned to Puerto Rico, planning to spend the rest of my life.

He knew that less than a year later I would return from Puerto Rico to marry Dennis Thompson.
