Shingles

Shingles, GERD, Heart Arrhythmia, Arthritis, Restless Leg Syndrome, Energy
I was 83 when I began acupuncture. I was in terrible pain from shingles and on two narcotics for the pain because prior to this I had been in the hospital twice and in intensive care both times. I had no energy at all as well as the pain from the shingles. I could only sit and cry and wonder how I could go on like this for the rest of my life.

In a short time, the pain subsided and I was able to go off the drugs. Also, I began to gain energy which kept increasing with time. Dr. Tad also treated me for a number of other things: GERD which he cured and got me off of the narcotic Nexium; my heart arrhythmia improved so much that I am on 1/5th of the narcotic Toprol XL which I was taking; most of my arthritis pain is gone; the restless leg syndrome is gone; I was able to go shopping without getting so tired quickly that I could not continue. Now I can shop for a good period of time, do some housework and my exercises. My appetite also came back and I was able to do the activities I had done before such as housework, exercising, driving, doing errands and getting out to go see friends.

I am a different person since receiving acupuncture. I am greatly renewed in energy and see possibilities for my future life. I am now 86 and still going to acupuncture to keep my immune system working well and to keep my energy levels up and feeling well. How grateful I am to Dr. Tad for all this!!
