My Journey

 

Starting when I was 16, I began experiencing headaches which felt like a slight pressure in my forehead. They slowly grew in intensity and duration as time went on. As time went on, the headaches got worse and started becoming accompanied by dizziness and anxiety. I started going to various doctors, all of whom couldn’t do anything for me. They all told me I was perfectly healthy.

 

I didn’t feel healthy however, and began trying nutritional and lifestyle changes, all while continuing to see various specialists. Nothing and no one could help me. In fact, things just kept getting worse. By the time I was 27, things were out of control. I was no longer able to function and had to quit working. I stayed home most days sitting in my chair or lying in bed, unable to get up.

 

Symptoms I experienced included: headaches, dizziness, anxiety, nausea, insomnia, stomach pain, food intolerances, poor sugar levels, extreme fatigue, inability to think properly, ringing in my ears, tingling in my hands and feet, and sensitivity to sounds, smells, tastes, and touch, to name just a few. I was also dealing with this pervasive vision problem where it felt like I couldn’t focus on anything visually. Looking at my phone, reading, watching tv, or looking at the computer even for a minute would give me excruciating headaches.

 

At this point, I came to the realization that I couldn’t go on living like this anymore. After much contemplation, I made the decision that I would kill myself if I couldn’t find any viable solution in three months. It was just too hard and there was no more hope. I had tried every conventional medical route, nutritional regimen, lifestyle change, and alternative therapy there was humanly possible to try. Nothing worked.

 

Shortly after I made the promise to myself, I stumbled across a treatment option that changed my life. It was a slow and painstaking process, but over the course of a year, a lot of the symptoms improved markedly. I was able to return to work and more importantly, I had my life back.
