I Have Suffered From Migraines My Entire Life
I first heard of Community Chiropractic Center when I attended a workshop given by Dr. Dan at Andrew. Corporation. In September of 2001, I met with Dr. Dan for an evaluation where he determined that he could possibly help me. We started out with 3 adjustments per week and the positive results were almost immediate.
I have suffered from migraines my entire life and have been on daily medication to prevent them for the past nine years. In the past I have been through all the food restrictions, diet, exercise and lifestyle changes in an attempt to find a cause/cure, all with little or no success. I’ve had the same doctor for 15 years and have been to 3 neurologists in an attempt to alleviate the problem. The only thing that had happened is that my daily dosage of medication was increased and the migraines became much more frequent and sever and did not respond to medication at all. When I first started seeing Dr. Dan things had gotten so bad that I was missing 2-3 days of work a week and had virtually no family or social life. I was constantly sick and worried about my job, my health, and my family but had no way to change things. All my headaches occurred while I was sleeping and usually woke me up, I never got one while I was awake or stressed. I had all the worst symptoms of nausea, visual disturbances, etc. My criteria for going to work was if. I could get out of the house before I started vomiting, many times. I would have to stop to get sick or just because I couldn’t see where I was driving. There were many times when I turned around or had to call someone to come and get me. All this led to other health problems, put my job in jeopardy, and made me a very unreliable person in all aspects of my life.
My result from treatment were almost immediate, the headaches came less frequently, were less severe and responded to medication. I am currently in the process of being weaned off the daily medication (from 120mg. down to 30mg.), and should be off of it completely in the next month. I am able to attend family and social gatherings and have missed work due to a migraine only a few days in the last 3 months.
Not having to worry about whether I will get a migraine by attending a family or social gathering, or being considered unreliable by my co-workers is a great feeling to have. When we first started treatment Dr. Dan asked what I would like to be able to do that the migraines had prevented me from doing. My answer was that I would like to be able to spend a day on my fishing boat without getting a migraine that night while I was sleeping. I just got the boat out of the shop and am getting ready to put it to the test.
