She felt tipsy for three days.
She hadn't had a drink. Jackie just noticed, a couple of weeks after a package arrived, that she felt the way a glass of wine or two feels. Then the next day. Then the day after that. It was a good feeling. It was also a feeling she didn't recognize, because she hadn't felt it in forty years.
What happens when something crosses a line it's been sitting on for decades. Read on.
Ice at 31 degrees is ice. Ice at 33 degrees is a puddle. The water didn't change. Its state did.
That's the useful way to think about what happened to Jackie, because nothing about her forty-year diagnosis went away. She still has fibromyalgia. She still has Lyme disease. Ask her doctor.
What changed is which side of a line she lives on.
Solid
Pain she rated a ten-plus. Every day. Every night.
The line
Three days when she felt tipsy and couldn't explain it.
Now
A four or five, most days. Pickleball four or five days a week.
Same water. Different state.
Here's the whole story of the line, and what was on either side of it.
Forty years of solid.
Fibromyalgia and Lyme disease, for as long as Jackie can remember. "Excruciating pain," she says, "my whole life." Go to sleep in pain, wake up in pain. That's not a bad stretch. That's the state.
A low-dose Percocet when the pain came on, sometimes by nine in the morning. Just enough to take the edge off so she could function. Still in pain 24/7, just a slightly duller version of it. Two-nap days. Cancelled plans. Pickleball was a one-game thing: "I really want to do this, but I know I'm going to suffer the consequences. Let me play one game."
And here's the detail that tells you how solid it was. When the pain woke her in the middle of the night, the only thing that touched it was heat. So she'd go out to the hot tub. And fall asleep in it. Five or six nights a week. Her neighbors said she'd drown. Her daughter made her promise to wear a flotation ring around her neck.
"It used to feel like bricks were tied to my leg, and every muscle in my body was hurting." Jackie
She'd spent years applying heat, every night, and the state never changed. It just held.
The week that looked like nothing.
Jackie found the VIBE, the pocket PEMF device from Resona Health, in her Facebook feed. She thought it was a gimmick, twice, then did the math anyone would do: $299, 30-day money-back guarantee, a reminder on the calendar at day 25 to send it back.
It arrived June 20th. She ran everything, at full power, back to back. Delta. Liver. Vagus Nerve. Fibromyalgia. General Inflammation.
And for about a week, what she got was worse. She felt like she had the flu.
The order it happened in
- June 20The VIBE arrives. Reminder set for day 25.
- Week oneFlu-like. "Looking back, I realized I was probably having a reaction." Nothing visible has changed.
- Three daysSomewhere in the first few weeks: she feels like she's had a glass of wine or two. Three days running. Doesn't know what to make of it.
- Two and a half weeks"I started seeing amazing results." Pain from a ten-plus to a four or five.
- Day 25The reminder goes off. She ignores it.
If you know how ice melts, the flu week makes sense. You put energy in and for a while the thermometer doesn't move. All the heat is going into breaking the structure. Nothing looks different until, suddenly, everything is.
"There was three days that I felt like I had a glass of wine or two, and I was like, 'Hmm, this is kind of weird.' So it was a good feeling. It was just not a feeling that I recognized."
"I guess all these good endorphins were rushing my body and saying, 'Woo-hoo, Jackie, we're going to party.'"
Jackie, on the three days. Her explanation, not ours.
That was the line. She didn't recognize the feeling because the feeling was not hurting, and she hadn't been on that side of it in forty years.
What the other side looks like.
About a month in, Jackie went to the appointment she'd been going to for years, the one where the Percocet gets renewed, and said "I don't want this refill." Her doctor said, "What?" Then, sensibly, "Don't stop cold turkey." So she weaned off it with her doctor's guidance, the way you're supposed to.
She'll tell you plainly that she's not all the way off. The night before we talked was a rough one, and she took one. Rough nights still happen. But where they used to be five or six a week, they're now maybe one, "or maybe not even once a week." Most days it's a couple of over-the-counter Advil and out the door.
"My day's great. I'm out playing pickleball four or five days a week. I'm doing water aerobics. I'm dancing. I'm living life." Jackie
Her friends noticed before she said a word. She'd always smiled through it, so what they picked up on was that she was laughing more. Then they saw her on the court. "Jackie, wow, you can move. You could never move like this before."
Brain fog, better. Fatigue, better. What she calls her overall sense of wellbeing, better. Her words for all of it: "Wow."
A change of state spreads.
Drop one ice crystal into water that's colder than it should be and the whole glass freezes from that point outward. That's roughly what happened in Jackie's neighborhood.
She lives in a 55-plus community. "Everybody can use a VIBE," she says. She signed up as a Resona Health affiliate, then decided that wasn't enough, because people who ordered off a website wouldn't hear her story. So she started buying them to hand to people herself. The first batch she just gave away: if it works for you, pay me; if it doesn't, give it back. Every one came back with $299 in it.
In about a month and a half, without really trying, she's placed thirty. Word of mouth, and people watching her play.
"If I can help anybody feel ten percent better in their life, win-win." Jackie
One seed crystal. Thirty neighbors on the other side of the line.
The slower way across the line.
Jackie's flu week wasn't required. In a conversation with Resona Health's founder, Mark L Fox, she learned afterward that for people with Lyme disease, Resona Health's guidance is to not put the energy in all at once: start the power level at a three or four instead of ten, run Delta, then Liver, then Vagus Nerve, and work up over time. Some people who go all-in on day one feel rough and quit before anything crosses over.
She crossed anyway. If her story sends you to the device, cross slower.
- FibromyalgiaHer daytime protocol. Not at night, she's learned.
- DeltaBrain wave protocol. First in the sequence.
- LiverSecond in the sequence.
- Vagus NerveThird. The reset.
- General InflammationThe one for everything else.

See FulVic AcidNothing about Jackie's diagnosis changed. Everything about her days did.
Forty years on one side of a line. A week that looked like nothing. Three days that felt like wine. And then a woman who slept in a hot tub is on a pickleball court, and thirty of her neighbors want to know why.
Same water. Different state.
