I had been sick off and on for a long time. Even so, I was always able to push through and deal…read morewith all of my responsibilities( Run a business, Raise a family, volunteer, etc).
I was extremely active. I exercised daily, was a competitive runner, and was always on the go.
I was known as an 'Energizer Bunny'.
Then- in one day- it seemed- my batteries simply ran out.
(I was only in my mid forties & THOUGHT I was in great shape!)
That was about 5 years ago. I became chronically ill with more symptoms than I can possibly list, with severe, debilitating fatigue. I would get so sick, I couldn't get out of bed for days at a time. I was in and out of the hospital.
I could no longer do any of the activities I loved doing. It was BAD.
I went from specialist to specialist of every kind. I had test after test. None of my blood work was ever 'NORMAL' but my docs didn't seem to have a problem with that. The diagnoses I DID get were all over the place.
Meantime, my quality of life kept going down. I had to DRAG myself out of bed.
Any activity beyond absolute necessity was out of the question for me.
I went to some of the best facilities in the country, if not the world, and docs identified all of the problems I was having. But no one had a clue as to how to fix anything.
Some told me it was all in my head.
Yet I still had medication after medication prescribed- many with horrible side effects.
I was given all types of different diagnoses' but no docs seemed to agree with one another.
None of them made sense to me either! No treatments helped. My health continued to deteriorate. Since I rarely slept at night, I'd spend hours researching my symptoms to try and make SOME kind of sense of things. How could this happen to someone as 'healthy' as me???
It was during my research time that I found the Clymer Healing Center website. I read about it and then watched the short video that Dr. Neville provides explaining his own journey with CFS & AD, and his understanding of it all.
There is an option to take a short quiz, ( to see if CHC can be of help to you), which I took, and the rest, as they say, is history.
I was contacted by CHC the NEXT DAY. I had reached out to so many other docs/facilities prior, and they'd been DEAD ENDS, so I wasn't feeling very hopeful with CHC at first.
However, after speaking with Dr. Nevilles patient coordinator, and then with Dr. Neville himself, I FINALLY felt like I was in the right place.
Of all of the countless doctors I'd seen prior- NONE MADE SENSE in their assessment of my symptoms. Many didn't even listen to my problems! Dr. Neville did.....and he understood.
He then started explaining everything to me in a way that I understood and all that he said made PERFECT SENSE!
I have now been in treatment for several months, and my health has gradually been improving for the first time-IN YEARS! Dr Neville explained that it would take time and emphasized the need to "Stick with it". He doesn't 'over promise'. His goal is to help people understand and treat illnesses that are totally dismissed by many medical professionals.
He is a very 'down to earth', patient, kind, caring, compassionate man, with years of both professional and personal experience with CFS & AD, and ALL of the symptoms that come with these diseases, when left untreated.
I have FINALLY found the help I desperately needed.
Again----- Having been to countless docs and well known facilities that offered me little to NO HOPE------I am finally on the road to recovery!
That's because Dr. Neville TAKES THE TIME to put ALL of the pieces of ones 'health puzzle' together. And he does it so very well.
He LISTENS.
He CARES, and it SHOWS!
