Trinica's Story: Limb Loss Recovery
Trinica’s story 📽️ Born paralyzed from the waist down, Trinica began using a wheelchair at the age of 5. In 2021, she contracted sepsis, which forced doctors to perform a quadruple amputation to save her life. “I’ve never known what it feels like to have use of my legs, but I do know how it feels to have use of my arms, so to have them taken away was quite a challenge,” Trinica reflects.
Once her residual limbs healed, Trinica initially tried body-powered prosthetics, but ultimately decided a more advanced option would better suit her. After acquiring her new myoelectric prostheses, she came to Sheltering Arms Institute for our intensive prosthetic training program with the primary goal of increasing her independence with her new prostheses.
Trinica is known for her positivity and radiant optimism, which she credits to her supportive family. “I have a lot of support,” she says. “There are so many people rooting for me and cheering me on… you have to let your good days outweigh the bad.” Today, Trinica continues to work diligently in outpatient therapy as she embarks on this new chapter!

I was diagnosed with CIDP back in 2007. Ive learned a lot since then and am living an almost normal life again. A few tips to help anyone dealing with this disease: A keto style diet works best for me. Lots of organic healthy meats, veggies and fruits. I tried a vegan diet but it made it worse. A diet of good fatty meats, eggs and avocados is good because it helps to regrow the myelin sheets that was stripped off the nerve endings by the immune system. Cut out all processed food especially sweet foods. Sugar is your number one enemy. It’s best to avoid all forms of sugar even stevia etc. you may can get away with a “little” manuka honey. Avoid smoking and drinking any alcohol, including wine. Exercise as much as possible and lift heavy weights (at least what is heavy to you). This will keep you stronger than the disease itself. Workout your entire body especially legs and arms. This is how I regained my balance. Get plenty of rest. When showering. Switch from hot to cold to stimulate your nerves, ending your shower with cold. Get a vibrating foot massager to stimulate your nerve endings in your feet. By doing all of these things I am 90% back to normal without taking any steroids or ivig, haven’t been back to my neurologist in ten years after he told me I will be wheelchair bound if I stopped the treatment. I’m not advising you stop treatment I’m just saying that’s what I did. I didn’t abruptly stop, I slowly reduced the amount of steroids I was taking and weaned myself off of them as I was doing everything I wrote in the comment. The stronger I got the more I weaned myself off. Hope this helps someone
Thank you for the advice. I'm going on 8yrs with cidp and am on sub q hizentra. I hate being on medication with all my heart. I'm looking to try the keto diet and start exercising. God bless you 🙏
Hello and thanks for the advice. for me I only took steroids once and I realised it wasn't a complete cure so I stopped it...I am not rly doing much to help my CIDP but I've decided to stop eating red meat m questioning now if it's a good idea
@@salamabugajesal5934 no, cut out all the sugars and junk foods just eat good quality meats and veggies.
LOOK AT GOD. PRAISE GOD YOUNG MAN. THANK YOU JESUS, THANK YOU😂
Am in South Africa, please help me locate your rehab centre ! I have a C5 from car accident in January 2020.

I'm blown away. A brown recluse spider can do THAT? My God.

Sir, you don’t know fel I am spinal cord injury😢😢😢😢
Cute marketing video for this place. I am afraid that reality works a little differently. I am a mTBI survivor. I did not receive much care at all. The few docs I visited were not helpful at all. This is not uncommon either. I am not saying that quality care can never be helpful- it can be. Ultimately however, it often comes down to luck, nutrition, reducing stress, inflammation, time and did I mention luck? Over TIME, some can finally begin to do more things that help with neuroplasticity. For example, play an instrument or bounce a ball when you walk. This can help. For a while, I could not tie my shoes or play a note without getting tired and fatigued. Now I can...but it took years. I now look back and realize a lack of quality sleep was behind a lot of my issues. As that improves and you are able to think more clearly and get in some quality exercise, and start to eat better (healthy FATS), and a few key supplements, things may improve for some of the luckier people- sadly, not for everyone.
Love you dad! Keep pushing! You’re doing great
How is GBS or it's cousin CIPD diagnosed? I have neuropathy below my waist that feels like GBS. I've seen army of doctors and specialists over the last 9 months. X-rays, CT scans, EKGs, MRIs, nerve conductivity studies, etc, etc. No diagnosis at all... So frustrating. Maybe they are hiding the dignosis due to my advanced age. GBS takes months even years to treat, and that costs money. I went from being 100% mobile to unable to walk. My legs feel like concrete blocks.
Thanks for your comment.
Congrats, George. This is such a heartwarming story. You are such an inspiration to so many. So very proud of you.
What a crazy and sad cause for a csi. Wish you a good recovery
