FIBROMYALGIA

I was doubtful and avoided more holistic treatment, such as acupuncture, for my lifetime of pain from migraines, and more recently fibromyalgia  I went from medical doctor to doctor looking for a diagnosis and/or relief, only to be dismissed or mistreated.  I began seeking treatment from Dr. Ian Livingstone three years ago.  After I responded with debilitating effects of medications, Dr. Livingstone referred me to Dr. Helen Law.  I will forever be grateful to him and the gift of pain relief that Helen has brought to my life.  I feel she is very talented and her gift is as natural as breathing.

Dr. Law is an excellent listener and quick to apply her techniques.  She identified the sources of my pain immediately, and I was completely relieved during my first visit.  The acupuncture, along with craniosacral therapy lasted for several days, which was not the case for other forms of treatment I had experienced in the past.  As the summer progressed and I began my normal headaches and allergic reactions due to painting chemicals and then to pollens, Helen was quick to suggest allergy treatments.  I was not aware of such a treatment and was very skeptical.  But, she amazed me again.  I was embarrassed by my skepticism, and my face flushed when I saw the amazing results.

Dr. Law is so caring, gentle, and compassionate that even in friendly conversation or passing comments about health issues or complaints, she voluntarily incorporates treatment to make her patients feel well and happy before leaving her office.  Her reaction is always "Why didn't you tell my about this?  I can help you."  I am accustomed to being tuned out by many doctors by the time I reach the second or third complaint on my list.  So I only talk about the most raw and debilitating pain.  As Helen searches for the appropriate acupuncture points, she finds many more, and again asks "Why didn't you tell me about this?"  Many times, tears have welled in my eyes, because she is the first person to notice the silent pain.  I know she cares.

Herbal supplements have also made a significant change for my stomach and PMS issues.  I have tried herbs, in the past, but obviously didn't know what I was doing.  Helen does know, and the herbs are very effective.

I see Dr. Helen Law as a truly competent professional with a very big heart.  But, more importantly, I think she is a bit of God's grace from heaven.

I want you to know how thankful I am that you do what you do, professionally.  I have been suffering with Fibromyalgia for four years. I have been to my primary care physician, a Rheumatologist, and a Neurologist, all of whom tried to help me by treating me with various muscle relaxers and anti-depressants.  Unfortunately, none of the therapies worked.  The muscle relaxers only served to keep me in a sleepy state; I was sleeping 12 - 13 hours a day!  The anti-depressants caused me to gain weight and diminish my libido.

On September 16, 2004, I called off from work, I was in so much pain. I had heard of people doing this but never had to do it myself!  I layed on my bed and cried because I envisioned this syndrome progressing until I had to be put on disability.  My husband and I, in spite of being newly weds, were having tense moments over my not being able to be as active as he had become used to.  I spent hundreds of dollars going from doctor to doctor, out of network I might add, trying to find someone who could give me some relief from the pain.  Finally, my fears were relieved when my Neurologist, Dr. Ian Livingstone, referred me to you.  I received 99% relief from the horrible pain I had been in upon my first visit with you.

Dr. Law, your acupuncture using the "Balance Method" has given me new life!  My husband and I both are truly grateful to you and appreciate the fact that you have dedicated yourself to treating pain with this technique!  I wish every person with Fibromyalgia could hear about you and try at least one treatment because that is all that it would take for them to feel what it is like NOT TO BE IN PAIN!  God bless you and your work!
