Female: Hyperthyroid, Migraines
Please describe your condition/health prior to Upper Cervical Care: I have suffered from frequent migraines for most of my life. I guess you could say that through my life the migraines have been very similar to riding a roller coaster. I had my months with no migraine to some months having them a lot. Up and down. When I started having thyroid symptoms, I started having more headaches,not necessarily migraines but for about 3 weeks before my diagnosis I had a headache or a migraine just about every day. My health was also in bad condition due to the hyperthyroid problem. This resulted in the following symptoms; rapid heartbeat, loss of sleep, hungry all the time, itchy skin, hot flashes and headaches. The doctors did start me on medication right away due to the chance of having a heart attack. How did this affect your daily life? In the beginning I felt like I was slowly going out of my mind. Everything that I did every day affected me. The simplest things that I did every day were now excruciatingly hard and tiring to do. Not being being able to get any sleep made my days even harder. I couldn't focus on anything. I was having headaches every day and that in itself was more stress on my mind and body. Please describe the results you obtained through Upper Cervical Care. After I started the Upper Cervical Care I noticed that I started sleeping through the night and had less episodes of rapid heartbeating. In general I started really feeling better, like I was before I developed a thyroid issue. My medication dose was cut down from 10mg to 2.5mg a day. I used to take prescription pain medication for my migraines and the last time I took any was January 2007, 1 year ago! With Upper Cervical Care I have stopped having headaches and migraines. How has your life changed? My life has changed by feeling better and not feeling like I need medication to survive. By far the best result is NO More Migraines!!! Having migraines was just taking its toll on my body and on my life. It is nice to go day to day and not even worry for one minute that "I might get a migraine". This whole experience has made me realize how important it is to put your mind and body first in life and not second. |

goes far beyond what you have been permitted to believe.  Maia's committment to the care program has payed off!! After 9 months of care, Maia's laboratory tests for the last 7 months have reported that her thyroid has been functioning completely normal. She no longer needs to rely on medications and her need for chiropractic checkups has been reduced to once a month just to make sure her nervous system is still functioning normally. Imagine what Chiropractic could do for you! | |
