Dear Gord,
When I first came to your office in the fall of 1994, I was extremely exhausted, suffering from symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome which included muscle fatigue, headaches, mental disorientation and impaired immune function. My symptoms have been chronic for several years starting after I suffered whiplash in a motor vehicle accident in 1988.
I was willing to try acupuncture but really didn't want to get my hopes up too much. I've been impressed with the results that we have achieved so far. I feel much stronger, for example, up until recently, sometimes even a walk around the block could leave me totally exhausted. Now I often walk home from my treatments, a good twenty-five minute minute distance and still have energy to function. I was also having problems with sleeping and this has all but disappeared. My mental clarity and moods have greatly improved, which is a great relief, and the acupuncture is also very helpful with migraines...they've almost stopped and the ones I do get are less intense.
I know that I still have a way to go but what I feel now is a sense of hope. That means a lot after all this time of being so low. I now have a concrete method to deal with my various symptoms, and I can't put the value of that in words. I am very grateful for the work that you are doing, Gord and would gladly recommend you to anyone in need of healing. Acupuncture works!
Sincerely,
Sue Raven
