Hello My name is Diane O'Hern and I have Fibromyalgia!
My Fibromyalgia was so bad, so painful, that I needed to find a way to cope with it without taking perscriptions that were going to make my symptoms worse (x10) and give me yet more to deal with.
For starters, the reality that I didn't want to face and have others feel bad about was... Headaches and sometimes excruciating Headaches, everyday for at least 3 years. Also in those three years, I have had body aches that feel like Body Aches when you get the flu, but multipled by 100, Shooting Pains at various times to various body parts throughout the day, Severe Dizziness, Lower Back Pain, Neck Pain, Shoulder Pain ,Awful IBS, Cramping, My eyes blurry, words not coming out correctly and always feeling like I'm in a fog. And these were an everyday occurance.
Then aside from these, I started getting bizarre and more bizarre symptoms... I would be standing and feel like a wave picked me up and brought me back down, having a hard time catching my balance; My whole body would vibrate and hum for hours at a time; one hand and forearm would be numb and ice cold and the other hot; I would see flashing lights in the corner of my eyes that weren't there; I felt like I had jumped into a body of water and the burning sensation went from my nose, to my eyes, to my forehead, to the back of my head, then my neck and then rested in my shoulders for 2 hours - the list is endless.
My doctor prescribed Lyrica and it has a lot of the same side affects as the Gabapentin I took that took me 16 weeks to get off of and I didn't want to go through that again. I even looked into the laws of Marijuana in Minnesota - but honestly I didn't want that fog either. However, I did want something that wasn't going to mess me up, more than I already was.
I looked on the internet and all the types of Fibromyalgia and all the treatments and felt completely overwhelmed. then I found Dr. Faith Leuschen and the NRCT Treatment. Dr. Faith Leuschen, not only knew about Fibromyalgia, but had it pretty bad as well, at one time. She knew my Pain, She knew my Issues...She wanted to help me!
She explained that you can get FM 3 ways as well as it being a co-disease(many of these diseases/disorders, I was borderline on). Well, I had all three... Trauma, as in an accident (I've had many, since moving to Minnesota) and Trauma, from a surgery (I've had a few of those too) and lastly Stress, from pushing yourself too hard...Let's see...Me, me, me,me,me. She explained that it doesn't get better. Studies show that FM individuals, have a high sucidal rate, that a lot of them wind up in Looney Bins because the doctors have exhausted being able to help them with all thier strange symptoms and if all goes well and these things do not happen to them... They have a 40% chance of getting cancer because of all the acidicity going on in thier bodies and usually pass on at a younger age.
I know that all sounds grim, but it will have a happy ending, bare with me. She told me, to come to her practice and give her 2 and a half months of my time, that she could give me back My Life again. I tried all the excuses about work and my husband, Kevin and my husky, Jax and my responibilities and she explained that it will never be a "Good Time" and I was only going to get worse.
Well, I did it and I was in treatment for 10 and a half weeks! Yes, I finally Have My Life Back!
I noticed results just from the testing, then after each Treatment, each Day, each Week. I went from a 10+ pain level down to a 5-6 pain level in 2 weeks. In another 2 weeks, I was down to a 2-3. I am now at a 0, 1, maybe a 2 - and that's on a really Bad Day. I no longer have Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Constants Headaches, Severe Dizziness, Body Aches, or Piercing Body Pains.
I want anybody and everybody that has Fibromyalgia, MS, Headaches, IBS, Digestive Issues, Body Pain, ...Basically anyone who has a Neurological Disorder to know about NRCT (Neurological Relief Center Technique).
You may have a life sentence of Fibromyalgia, but You can live a life without all the Pain and Co-issues and without being on all those Meds! I used to take Muscle Relaxors, Pain Killers, Fiber (for awful IBS), aspirin (for fear of a stroke or heart attack), Antacids, Sleep Meds..... I don't take anything but my Thyroid Medication now and I feel Terrific!
This Treatment is not just beneficial to You, but to those that You Love! The process starts with Testing - And then Treatment to being the Best You! Then, Living your life with little stress and taking care of yourself,... all you'll need is maintenance.
It is an Amazing Thing! Get Your Life Back! You are too Incredible of a person not to be living your life to the Fullest!
Take Care of Yourself,
Many Hugs, Diane
