From multiple anxiety attacks daily to zero.
From no quality of life to some.
From the often spoken words ” I wish I wasn’t here” to being mostly happy, contented and asking for nothing.
All this because of long term use of Parkinson’s Medication which never cured anything rather created many side effects that we were led to believe was part of Parkinson’s.
At this point in time Linda was treating me for hands that at times were weeping so much I had to wear plastic gloves. Today they are perfect!
We spent 8 months with the Parkinson specialist (although I’ve learnt since he wasn’t much of a specialist) even so I feel a good one wouldn’t have been better! At that time in research I read where it was considered possible long term use of medication was causing the Anxiety Attacks, I’ve since read where UK trials have proven it is.
At this point in time with little to lose I asked Linda did she think she could help Julie with her anxiety attacks? Her response being “if she’s prepared to get off the medical merry go round and jump the fence I’ll try!
The attacks were such severe stomach pain that she couldnt breath properly, she would hold her exhaling breath
So with an ice pack on her stomach and a 240v palm massager, amidst cries of John help me I’m dying, we battled through many a session.
Linda’s knowledge and understanding enabled us to get her slowly off all medications until finally we gave her the last parkinson medication dose and she’s not had one since! There were some troubling times with trial and error, up and down a little but always more up than down till possibly 12 months later things stabilised. No medications no pain killers no Dr’s needed for 3 years just over 75 annual check ups, by comparison before we were always chasing Dr’s and medication of all sorts ! No more painful shoulders, food intolerances or allergies, saliva came back, sleeping excellent, and many more things have normalised.
She still has Parkinson’s, her only problem hallucinations, herbal Neuro Calm mostly takes care of that in 10 minutes, and I should say with a good diet and necessary supplements she is mostly happy contented, never asks for anything but slowly in decline.
Lindas knowledge and guidance has given us 3 1/2 years of partial quality of life which I’m sure we wouldn’t have had otherwise.
Many thanks Linda, much appreciated.
Our love, praise and thanks to you,
Julie and John.
