Because nothing in conventional medicine has worked for me, I have decided to try holistic methods of treatment to see if I would feel better by using nontraditional medicine. I tried everything in conjunction with doctors' recommendations, and encourage anyone considering holistic treatments to do so in conjunction with a doctor's advice.

These are examples of some of my current treatments:

• Acupuncture
• Massage Therapy
• Chiropractic Treatments
• Vitamin Supplements
• Mineral Supplements
• Lymphatic Drainage
• Yoga
• Deep Breathing
• Diet Changes

PLEASE NOTE: I am not a doctor and do not endorse the usage of any of these methods without the advisement of a licensed physician. Please do not try any medical treatments without first consulting your doctor.

Before I received my breast implants, all I took was allergy medicine when needed.

I have also had two cat scans, an MRI/MRA, and a lumbar puncture (spinal tap) and numerous trips to the ER. I have seen several family practitioners, three gynecologists, two rheumatologists, an osteopathic specialist, a chiropractor/acupunturist and a neurologist. I see a doctor at least once per week for IV’s and chiropractic/acupuncture therapy.
