It has been 10 years since the diagnosis of Fibromyalgia was given to me. Over the years I searched and tried many different treatments/medications/remedies just to get some relief. After a while I stopped hoping and just tried my best to struggle from one day to the next, with very little change or improvement. Living in chronic pain, having chronic fatigue and an array of other debilitating symptoms, whilst trying to balance work, family, friends, health etc. is life-altering on so many levels.
I was recently introduced to TRT therapy with Dr Talia Seale at Fourways Chiro and I am writing this review to share my incredible experience. At first, I had my reservations and was certainly not holding my breath for that miracle I have been wanting for so long. The treatment consultation was thorough and nothing like I have experienced before, furthermore, the way I felt after the treatment was a far cry from the battle-bruised body I normally leave with when visiting a chiro or physio.
I started noticing results after the first two sessions. Yup, believe it! I have gone from being a chronic 8/10 on the pain scale to having days where I am a 2/10. Areas of my body which had restricted movement have been restored to almost full use, and not just for a few hours but days. For the first time in years, I am able to sleep and wake up feeling like my body actually rested, repaired and restored itself. I don’t feel absolutely exhausted after having a shower, just after I woke up in the morning, like I used to. Recently, I went shopping with my mom for an entire day! This was a luxury my body did not afford me, with 3 hours being my max usually, before I needed to lie down and rest.
There is much research done on FM and what causes it but most professionals agree that there is a link between FM and your mental/emotional wellbeing. Having PTSD is no joke and it causes havoc in many ways, no matter how strong-willed you are. With TRT treatments not only have I been feeling better physically but mentally I have been more positive too. These last few days I have not been too worried/anxious and although certain stressors trigger me, and this in turn spikes my pain, my recovery from these stressors is faster than it used to be. I have been more alert, which is great because Fibro-fog is a real thing, I am more energetic, positive and feel really happy (on the inside). I find myself not having to fake being well for the first time in a very LONG time.
This is only the beginning of my healing journey and I am so excited to see how my body responds to further treatment. I am so grateful for some change and for relief I thought would never come - Ashley Snow
