I originally came to Vibrant Health because I had tried every diet, program, or prescription I could find to try to relieve my Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia. Nothing helped. I heard Dr. Tucker had recovered from the same illness, so I wanted to do what she had done. When I came to The Vibrant Health System I was taking Irnitrex, 222’s (for joint pain, mix of aspirin & codeine from Canada), Soma (for muscle spasms and knots), Promethazine (for nausea) as needed, and Ambien on a regular basis. My joints and muscles hurt all the time, and I was continually exhausted. I had migraines and headaches consistently. I couldn’t go to my Bible Study, and had to go on disability because I couldn’t work. I also had allergies, fever, nausea, and bouts of dizziness. I felt like I was wasting away, like I was experiencing a very slow death. My fatigue was so severe that taking a shower took all my strength for the day. I spent most of the time each day on the couch. My muscle and joint pain, fever, and fatigue greatly affected my quality of life. My doctor list was a mile long: an internal and family practice doctor, rheumatologist, immunologist, allergist, environmental medicine specialist, neurologist, and a acupressure/reflexologist. I had autonomic testing at Vanderbilt University, Bioenergetic testing, and had tried various supplements and natural remedies. The
Vibrant Health System taught me how to use my nutrients
and other therapies to monitor my food cravings and gain strength
and energy. I was off all my medication in four months. Now, I have
much more strength, energy, and stamina. I don’t
have FM symptoms as often and they are much
less severe. I have learned what was wrong and how
the nutrients are helping. I gained knowledge about my
body—how it is supposed to work and what I can do to help
it heal. Now I have hope for my future. I’m only 29 years
old. I am able to take vacations with my husband,
clean my house, and cook him dinner.
I can go out with friends instead of having them
come over and visit while I lie on the couch. I’m
getting back to my old vivacious self again! |
