Dixie,
I am sorry to hear that your are going through so many health problems.
It is sad that when we get older, more health issues seem to creep up on us.
I too have had some of the health concerns on your list.
I am a 54 yr old female that about two years ago had enough. Had enough with drs and started looking into what can I do for me.
Found that with researching and talking with a very good friend of mine that she suggested a Upper Cervical Chiropractor that can also adjust the rest of my body.
Our spine is a miraculous thing. But everyday life can put stresses on it.
The spine is connected to many parts that help our body do what it does.
Muscles, ligaments, nerves all serve a purpose and in turn our nerves supply many of our organs too.
When your spine is out of alignment it can cause all kinds of problems.
Think of it as a hose, when you step on a hose it cuts off the water supply.
Your spine is the same way. One misalignment and it can trickle down to even a simple pinch nerve.
I am no dr and don't claim to be, but with my past experience with the medical field, all they want to do is give you a pill or do surgery.
I have found that after talking with a chiropractor about my medical issues, I found that after one adjustment, I felt results. Not big results but one little one. Then when I went back two weeks later, I found that with another adjustment, I felt even better. I took less meds. They gave me a exercise regime that worked for me. I changed my bad ways of soda to water, cut out alot of sugars especially sucralose, and found that in one month, I was feeling like my old self again.
I have been going to the chiropractor for two years now and I have never been better. Yes, I do have some health issues that they can't cure.
I have arthritis in my neck and lumbar spine, have had carpal tunnel, thyroidism, they even thought I had a heart attack. NOT
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE ... look into seeing a chiropractor. Talk with them, read up on the practice here online. Talk with others who have gone to them. Check them out ... You will find that they can help you MORE than any MD can.
My chiropractor saved me. I no longer take narcotics, maybe an occasional aleve. They saved my life .. let them save you!
God Bless you and you are in my prayers!
