I've been comunicating by pm to many of you or on yahoo about my progress but I thought there may be some out there who was wondering how my treatment is going or newbies that are unaware of my visit to the dr in texas!! For the newbies do a search for my previous post "could he be right about healing fibro" and for those who want info on the dr I saw and the treatment I am receiving goto www.onlineallergycenter.com

Its been 2 months now of treatment and I can now say that I am a true believer in his treatment. I have been pain free, I haven't had any IBS and my shakes are gone. So much in fact that tomorrow I will be going back to my office at the dealership to work instead of working from my home or from my condo in florida!! I have not been able to go to the office to work in two years due to the fact that my office is downstairs and I could not do steps due to the pain. I am very excited to return to the office and work I have been so isolated working from home. I am hoping that I will be able to work from the office now and be of more help to the business. This is something that I never thought I would not be able to do again. I was told by 27 dr's that I would never be painfree and that I probably wouldn't ever be able to return to work due to fibro.

I am not back to 100% as of yet physically but I am painfree and the fog is clearing. I am not taking any medication with the exception of the allergy and hormone drops and creams given to me by the dr in texas. I do have the highest hopes of being back to my old self again its just going to take sometime to get immuned to the allergies and to get my hormones up to the proper level.

I just wanted to let you all know that having a dx of fibro isn't always the end and with HOPE and FAITH and the right DR and TREATMENT anything is possible!!

If anyone wants information feel free to pm me!!

Hugs to all!!

Well going back to work isn't what its all crack up to be. Yes, its great that i'm able too, but after a few days I have realized that now that I'm feel better everyone seems to think that I can do everything that I used to do. I've haven't been to the dealership that my husband and I own for two years and its seems that i'm going to have to adjust to being around people again. I've been around you guys for so long that I have forgotten how to deal with the normals of this world. Being in the used car business is a tiring business. Since i've been working from home the last two years I haven't had to deal with customer complaints and the 10 employees that I have. I feel bad complaining at this point but you guys have been my support for quite a long time now and without that I wouldn't have made it thru. Thanks again for all of your support and understanding!!

Do you mind if I ask what you are paying for this treatment and if they take insurance?

Sleepwalking, yes they take insurance! I ended up paying 1300.00 out of pocket for the years worth of drops. I had not met my deductible for the year when I went so 500.00 of the 1300.00 was my yearly deductible. Everyone's insurance is different but if you call the office and ask for pam corbin, she will contact your insurance and find out how much your cost would be.

Sorry for the taking so long to respond I've been traveling the last two days!! If you have any other questions feel free to pm me.
